How the Insurance Claim Process Works

  1. Document the damage — Your contractor performs a thorough inspection and photographs all damage
  2. File your claim — Contact your insurance company to report the damage and open a claim
  3. Meet with the adjuster — Your contractor can be present during the adjuster's inspection to ensure all damage is identified
  4. Review the estimate — Compare the insurance company's estimate with your contractor's assessment
  5. Approve repairs — Once the claim is approved, schedule your roof repair or replacement

Common Covered Events in South Florida

Florida homeowners insurance typically covers roof damage from:

  • Hurricanes and tropical storms — wind damage, flying debris, and rain intrusion
  • Hailstorms — impact damage to shingles, tiles, and flashing
  • Fallen trees — impact damage from trees blown down during storms
  • Lightning strikes — structural damage and fire

What Insurance Typically Does Not Cover

Standard policies generally exclude damage from normal wear and tear, lack of maintenance, and gradual deterioration. If your insurer denies a claim you believe is valid, our contractors can provide additional documentation to support an appeal.

Florida-Specific Considerations

Florida's insurance market has unique challenges. Many insurers will not renew policies if your roof is over 15 years old. Understanding your policy's wind damage deductible — which is often a percentage of your home's insured value rather than a flat dollar amount — is critical before filing a claim.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will my insurance cover a new roof in Miami?
If your roof was damaged by a covered event like a hurricane, hailstorm, or fallen tree, your insurance may cover repair or replacement minus your deductible. Our contractors can assess the damage and help determine if a claim is warranted.
Can the contractor meet with my insurance adjuster?
Yes. Having your contractor present during the adjuster inspection helps ensure all damage is properly documented and nothing is overlooked.
What if my insurance claim is denied?
Your contractor can provide additional documentation and a detailed assessment to support an appeal. You may also consult with a public adjuster or attorney who specializes in insurance claims.
What is Florida's anti-solicitation law and how does it affect my Miami claim?
Florida Statute 489.147 prohibits roofing contractors from soliciting homeowners to file insurance claims and from offering incentives like free upgrades or gift cards in connection with an insurance claim. Violations carry a $10,000 fine. This law protects homeowners from predatory practices. Work with a contractor who evaluates your roof honestly and lets you decide whether to file a claim.
Will my Miami-Dade insurance deductible be higher for hurricane damage?
Most Florida policies have a separate hurricane deductible, typically 2 to 5 percent of the home's insured value. This is significantly higher than your standard deductible. For example, a home insured for $400,000 with a 2 percent hurricane deductible would have an $8,000 deductible for hurricane damage. Review your policy declarations page to understand your specific hurricane deductible amount.
Can I start roof repairs before my Miami insurance claim is approved?
You should make emergency repairs to prevent further damage—your policy requires it. However, avoid starting permanent repairs or replacement before the insurance adjuster inspects the damage. Document everything with photos before and after emergency repairs. Starting permanent work before the adjuster's inspection may complicate your claim and could result in a lower payout.
