Roofing Insurance Claim Resources
10-Point Insurance Preparation Strategy
Preparing for a roofing claim starts with understanding storm dates, documenting roof conditions, identifying visible damage, and organizing property information before inspections begin.
Understanding RCV vs. ACV
Replacement Cost Value (RCV) and Actual Cash Value (ACV) policies affect how roof repairs and depreciation are calculated after storm damage.
Kentucky Deductible Laws
Kentucky law requires homeowners to pay their deductible as outlined within the insurance policy. Roofing contractors cannot legally waive, absorb, or rebate deductibles.
What Insurance Adjusters Look For
Roof inspections commonly evaluate hail damage, wind damage, granule loss, flashing damage, moisture intrusion, roof age, and overall roofing system condition.
Hail Damage Signs
Hail damage may include bruising, punctures, granule loss, damaged flashing, and compromised roofing materials that are not always visible from the ground.
Wind Damage Roof Inspection
Wind damage inspections help identify lifted shingles, exposed underlayment, damaged roof edges, flashing separation, and storm-related roofing failures.
How Much Will I Pay Out of Pocket?
Out-of-pocket costs may vary depending on deductibles, depreciation, coverage type, upgrades, and the overall repair scope of the roofing project.
Claim Timeline Guide
Storm-related roofing claims may involve inspections, adjuster meetings, documentation review, repair approvals, scheduling, and final roof completion.

Important Roofing Claim Information
Roofing Deductibles Cannot Be Waived
Kentucky law prohibits roofing contractors from covering, absorbing, waiving, or rebating insurance deductibles. Property owners are required to pay the deductible outlined in their insurance policy.
Roof Inspections Before Filing a Claim
CMS Roofing recommends scheduling a professional roof inspection before filing a storm-related roofing claim to help determine whether visible damage appears significant enough to move forward.
Storm Dates and Property Information Matter
Knowing the approximate storm date, property age, roof age, and visible damage locations can help organize the roofing inspection and claim evaluation process.
Roof Damage Is Not Always Obvious
Storm-related roofing damage may not always be visible from the ground. Roofing inspections often identify hidden damage involving shingles, flashing, gutters, moisture intrusion, or roofing components.
