First, check your policy. If the reason you want a new roof is not covered, you may be on your own. If not, you can work with your insurance company to pay for some, if not all, of the new roof.
Be sure to document the damage in writing and pictures. Pictures help make your situation clear, especially photos with timestamps. The more evidence you have, the better. Also, check the age of your roof.
Insurance usually covers roofs under 10 years old, but coverage for older roofs may be limited. Your final step is to get a professional opinion and an estimate on the cost of repair or replacement.
If your roof professional says repairs will save the insurance company in the long run, they will likely help pay. Storm Guard will help you file your claim and start the repair process.
