Insurance Can Cover Full Roof Replacement If Damage Qualifies

If your roof has been damaged by wind or hail, your homeowners policy may cover the full replacement cost. But knowing how it works — and what to expect — helps you make confident decisions.

Zilker Roofing helps homeowners after they’ve filed a claim, offering clear proposals, code-compliant work, and insight into your insurer’s scope of loss.

  • Texas policies often cover replacement after wind or hail damage
  • Insurance usually pays the Actual Cash Value (ACV) first, then Recoverable Depreciation later
  • You’re responsible for your deductible
  • We help review your insurer’s scope (estimate) and confirm nothing important is missing

What Roof Damage Is Typically Covered?

If your roof is over 10 years old or you suspect hail damage, we recommend a roof inspection to evaluate condition and eligibility.

  • Hail or wind damage that affects shingle integrity
  • Lifted or creased shingles from wind uplift
  • Damage to flashing, pipe boots, or valleys
  • Water penetration or decking issues from storm exposure

What’s the Process Like?

Every insurance policy is different, but most Texas homeowners follow a similar sequence:

You file the claim

Step 1

Your insurer inspects and issues a scope (called the Summary of Damages)

Step 2

We review that document with you and prepare a matching proposal

Step 3

We complete the work and provide documentation to the insurer

Step 4

The insurer releases final payment (depreciation)

Step 5
