Four Reasons Insurance Companies Deny Roof Insurance Claims

1. Roof Damage is Cosmetic

If your roof has suffered damage that is not structural, but simply cosmetic, your insurer may deny the claim.

2. Roofing Materials Used

Insurance companies may only approve coverage for certain materials. Make sure to check with your insurer before choosing a roofing material.

3. Age of Existing Roof

Many insurance companies limit coverage based on the age of the existing roof. If you roof is more than 20 years old, for example, your roof insurance may deny part or all of your roof insurance claim.

4. Roof Deficiencies

No matter the age of your roof, if your insurer determines that it was deficient – if it leaks, for example – it may refuse to pay costs associated with damage caused by that deficiency. This is why it’s important to work with an experienced and reputable roofing company.
