When Should I File a Claim?
So you have homeowners insurance but aren’t sure if it’s time to use it for your roof or not. You may be concerned that you’ll lose coverage or the price will increase after filing a claim, but that’s not true. Here are some tips to help you know when to file a claim.
Do you know your policy?
Homeowners insurance helps you recover after an unexpected loss typically caused by a storm. Your policy may only pay for what your old roof was worth, or it will cover the replacement cost for a new roof. Most coverage only includes fire, water, or storm damage. Avoidable situations like leaving a candle unattended or not properly maintaining your roof can cause your insurance costs to increase, but unavoidable conditions like the weather won’t penalize you.
How many claims have you filed in the past five years?
Most homeowners only file two claims or less every ten years. Knowing what your policy covers is essential so you don’t file a claim for things that aren’t covered or that you can fix on your own.
What is your deductible?
If you have a large deductible and the repair costs for a service are less than the deductible, it may not be worth filing a claim. Filing a claim stays on your record for three years, making you look like a high-risk customer if you want to change companies or renew in the coming years.
Does your policy cover actual cash value (ACV) or replacement cost value (RCV)?
ACV coverage provides one payment for the value of your roof. If your roof is 15-20 years old, it may not be worth filing a claim because this payment will likely not cover the deductible. RCV coverage provides two payments. One is for the cost of a new roof minus the deductible, and the second payment is after the work is completed.
Who should I contact first?
Calling Lake Travis Roofing first allows us to complete an inspection and help you call your insurance company so you’re not surprised by what they need to file a claim. We can ensure everything is prepared for your insurance agent and that the process goes as smoothly as possible.
