People often ask us, How much will my roof cost? The answer to this question varies depending on a lot of options and details for your specific roof installation. We will discuss some of these options and hopefully answer the average roof replacement cost! MidSouth Construction is always happy to provide a free detailed roof estimate!
How Are Roofing Systems Rated
Roofing systems are commonly assessed for impact resistance using a scale ranging from 1 to 4, indicating their ability to withstand hail of varying sizes. This rating is determined by testing a sample of the roofing material against different hail sizes, providing consumers with information about the material’s durability.
In areas prone to hail, it is advisable to choose a roofing product with a Class 4 hail impact resistance rating for enhanced protection. It’s worth noting that a higher impact resistance rating is typically associated with a higher cost for the roofing system. For a deep dive into Impact Class 4 resistance shingles read our blog on this subject!
IMPORTANT NOTE: A Class 4 rating does not mean the manufacturer will replace your roof under warranty if it is damaged by hail!
Insurance Discount on Roofing!
One of the main benefits of upgrading to a Class 4 rated shingle is the discount you may receive on your homeowner’s insurance policy! Depending on the carrier, this discount may be substantial and make the extra expense well worth the investment.
Many heavy-weight designer shingles like the GAF Sequoiawill be rated a class 4 impact-resistant roofing product. You may also get a discount from most carriers for other hail-resistant roofing products like metal, slate, or tile roofing.
Does Your Roof Need to Be Replaced
The first place to start when considering if your roof needs to be replaced due to hail damage is with a roof inspection! It is critical to accurately determine the amount of damage that your roof has sustained before contacting your insurance carrier.
NOTE: Hail damage can be hard to see to the untrained eye, especially from the ground! Always work with a reputable local roofer who can provide you with a free roof inspection!
When large hail hits it is often referred to as a golf ball or tennis ball-sized hail, it is easy to see the damage. Hail indentation will be visible on soft metals like gutters and downspouts, siding, window wraps, and occasionally even roof shingles. But hail storms of this magnitude are not very common in our area!
NOTE: Smaller hail, can also cause extensive damage that is not as easily visible. We never advise homeowners to climb onto their roofs to assess their hail damage! This can be very dangerous and is best left to professional roofers!
If you have been in the path of a strong hail storm, the first step is to contact a local roofing contractor and request a roof inspection! We always advise homeowners to have their roof inspected by a local roofer before their contact their insurance carrier! If your damage is minor, or even nonexistent, you do not want to file a claim with your insurance company!
Hail Damage Is Covered by Insurance!
Residential homeowner policies and commercial property insurance policies generally cover hail damage to asphalt shingles. It is always best to have your own roofing contractor present to represent your interest with the insurance adjuster. It is also helpful to have two sets of eyes to inspect your roof and ensure all hail-damaged items are properly documented and covered in your estimate.
MidSouth Construction is experienced in insurance claims for all types of roofing and property damage. We speak the language of insurance combined with our hands-on working knowledge of construction. This is important to ensure that all damage is properly assessed and covered. That can make a significant difference in the way your hail damage is claimed!
Who Determines the Cost of My Roof?
Nashville roofers, MidSouth Construction, utilize the same estimating software as your insurance provider. This ensures a seamless process, eliminating disputes over the roof’s pricing, as we acknowledge and accept the rates set by your insurance carrier. Your insurance carrier will determine the total cost to replace your roof. The ultimate price will depend on the size, the square footage, and the type of roofing materials you have.
We pay close attention to every detail to make sure everything is done correctly. This includes things like ice and water protection, roof decking, ventilation, light fixtures, drywall, paint, fencing, window screens, and HVAC units. We make sure everything is listed accurately and paid for properly. Even seemingly minor damages, when overlooked, can significantly impact the overall success of your insurance claim.
It’s crucial to note that the statute of limitations for filing a hail damage claim with most insurance carriers typically ranges from 1 to 2 years. Waiting to file a claim might result in a denial of coverage due to the time constraints specified in your policy. Therefore, prompt action is advised to ensure you don’t miss out on the opportunity to address any hail-related damages within the stipulated timeframe.
Hail Damage Means Roof Replacement
When a roof is damaged by hail, the roof should be replaced! Unlike wind damage which can often be patched or repaired, hail damage generally requires a full replacement. This also applies to other items such as vinyl siding that may no longer be available or continuous run gutters!
Roof Hail Damage Often Causes Interior Damage
Hail storms that cause roof damage are often combined with strong winds and heavy rains making leaks a strong possibility. Your insurance carrier will also cover any damage caused to your interior if documented and reported correctly.
How Much Will It Cost to Replace My Roof with Insurance?
Most roof damage caused by weather conditions, including hail damage, is covered by insurance. This means the only cost to you will be your deductible and any optional upgrades you may choose to make. This is a big relief for most homeowners who are not prepared for the expense of a full roof replacement along with interior damages!
Upgrading to a Class 4 Hail Resistant shingle is an affordable upgrade especially if your insurance carrier is covering the cost of your basic roof replacement. Taking advantage of this opportunity to upgrade to a Class 4 Hail Resistant Shingle can also pay off in reduced insurance premiums!
