What’s Covered — and When

Most homeowners insurance policies in Texas cover roof damage caused by hail, wind, and other sudden weather events. These policies do not cover general wear and tear, but they often do include:

Full or partial roof replacement when storm damage is confirmed

Code-required upgrades when Ordinance & Law coverage is present

Recoverable depreciation once work is completed and invoiced

FAQs – Roof Insurance Claims in Austin, TX

Will you tell me if I have hail or storm damage?

Yes. We’ll inspect your roof, document any damage we see, and explain what might qualify under a typical Texas homeowner’s policy. But ultimately, it’s up to your insurance company to determine coverage.

Are you adjusters? Do you handle my claim?

No. We’re not public adjusters, and we do not handle claims or interpret your policy. We simply provide honest, photo-documented information so you can make your own decisions.

Can I get your quote to compare with my insurance paperwork?

Absolutely. If you have a “Summary of Damages” or “Scope of Loss” from your carrier, we’ll walk you through how our estimate lines up — and what questions to ask if things don’t match.

What if the insurance company denies part of the work?

We’ll review your paperwork with you and show you what the scope includes. Sometimes items are missing or underpaid — and we can remeasure or provide documentation to support a supplement request. It’s always your decision how to proceed.

Is it true that insurance can’t raise my rate for a storm claim in Texas?

Yes. Per Texas law, insurance companies cannot raise your rate for a claim related solely to hail or other “Act of God” storm events. (See Texas Insurance Code §551.107.)
