How Your Roof Affects Your Homeowner’s Insurance

How Roof Insurance Work Elmhurst Roofing

Having homeowner’s insurance is essential because it also covers you in the event of experiencing some roof problems. However, you need to know that your insurance is affected by your roof, more precisely by its age, type, condition, and location.

Roofs are expensive, whether we are talking about replacement or repair projects. Therefore, it makes sense that these factors determine how much you will pay for the insurance and what type of coverage you will get.

Regarding your roof’s age, the newer it is the better your home insurance rate. That’s because an old roof implies higher risks for damage, so it would cost your insurer more money to be repaired or replace. You can also expect your policy to get canceled if your roof exceeds its expected lifespan.

The type of roof can also impact your rates because some roofing materials are better and more expensive than others, determining the roof’s overall condition. You cannot avoid regular wear and tear, but you can delay it with a premium roof adequately installed and maintained by Elmhurst roofing professionals.

Finally, the location of your home is another factor that affects insurance rates. For example, there are areas prone to particularly bad weather (e.g., tornados in Oklahoma, tropical storms in Florida, etc.) or wildfires (California), where the risks determine homeowners pay higher premiums.

Professional, Knowledgeable, and stress free is how I would describe my experience with Roof One. From first call, a representative actually answers the phone with a friendly welcome. Jason was prompt and quick to come out and give a detailed consultation. Antonio’s crew was amazing! Not only were they on time, but a few minutes early. They made sure to walk me through the process and didn’t leave until the job was complete. Scott helped work with my insurance adjuster and went out of his way to make sure I was completely satisfied. Bill and Sandra in the office treated me like family and Steve, the owner, was very kind and welcomed me to the Roof One family. Phenomenal Job Roof One, my family and I couldn’t be happier - Thank you!

From the beginning to the end, Roof one really impressed me regarding their professionalism when roofing my house. In particular Steve and Mark managed this job wonderfully. The crew they sent over did such a wonderful quality job and made sure my property was free of nails and debris. I would definitely hire this company for a roof job. Very straight forward with their prices and options. I was also grateful they hooked up vent fans and provided a gorgeous flashing for my large chimney. Good job guys! Wish there were more contractors like you!
