The Problem

Insurers Offer Patches Instead of Replacements.

Insurance adjusters classify roof damage as "minor" to avoid paying for a full replacement. They ignore shingle granule loss, decking damage, and structural weakening that compromises your home's integrity.

✓ Claim Guardians Documents the Full Extent.

🏠We inspect decking, underlayment, flashing, and gutters.
📐We apply Florida building code upgrades to your claim (Code Upgrade Coverage).
⚖️We force your insurer to pay for a code-compliant full replacement.

Policy Education

What Does Roof Insurance Cover in Florida?

Florida homeowners policies cover roof damage from covered perils like wind, hail, and fallen objects. But insurers use every tactic to avoid paying for a full replacement.

🌀

Wind & Hail Damage

Missing shingles, granule loss, lifted flashing, and cracked tiles from storms. Your insurer must cover repairs or full replacement when wind or hail compromises your roof system.

🌳

Fallen Trees & Debris

Trees and large debris that impact your roof during storms. Your policy covers both removal costs and structural repairs to decking, trusses, and shingles.

💧

Resulting Water Damage

When a damaged roof allows water intrusion, your policy covers interior damage to ceilings, walls, insulation, and flooring. Claim Guardians documents the full chain from roof breach to interior loss.

📐

Code Upgrade Coverage

Florida's 25% rule requires a full roof replacement when more than 25% of the roof is damaged. Your insurer must pay to bring the entire roof up to current Florida Building Code standards.

🏗️

Structural Decking

Plywood decking and underlayment that has rotted or weakened from storm exposure. Insurance adjusters often inspect only the shingle layer and miss critical structural damage below.

🔧

Gutters & Flashing

Storm-damaged gutters, downspouts, flashing, and ridge vents are part of your roof system. These components are often excluded from initial insurance estimates.

How It Works

Our Roof Damage Claims Process

Free Roof Inspection

We climb on your roof and inspect every component: shingles, decking, underlayment, flashing, gutters, and ridge vents. We use drone photography for steep or inaccessible sections.

Damage Documentation

We photograph and measure all damage points. When structural compromise is suspected, we commission an independent engineering report to prove the roof cannot be repaired.

Scope & Estimate

We prepare a detailed scope of loss using Xactimate software and licensed contractor estimates. We include code upgrade costs required under Florida's 25% rule.

Full Replacement Settlement

We negotiate directly with your insurer for a full roof replacement. If they push back, we escalate through appraisal or connect you with a property damage attorney.

Proven Results

We Turn Denied Claims into Full Replacements.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions About Roof Damage Claims

Does homeowners insurance cover roof replacement in Florida?

Yes, if the damage was caused by a covered peril like wind, hail, or a fallen tree. However, insurers often argue the damage is from normal wear and tear to avoid paying for a full replacement. Claim Guardians uses forensic evidence to prove storm causation.

How do I know if my roof damage is covered by insurance?

Look for missing shingles, lifted flashing, visible hail dents, or interior water stains after a storm. Claim Guardians provides a free roof inspection and determines whether your damage qualifies for an insurance claim. We check areas most homeowners and even some adjusters miss.

Can insurance deny a roof claim in Florida?

Yes. Common denial reasons include the age of the roof, alleged pre-existing damage, or claims of cosmetic-only damage. Claim Guardians challenges these denials with independent engineering reports and forensic meteorology data that proves storm causation.

What is the 25% rule for roof replacement in Florida?

Florida Building Code requires a full roof replacement when more than 25% of the roof area is repaired, replaced, or recovered within any 12-month period. Your insurer must cover the cost of bringing the entire roof up to current code standards, including impact-resistant materials and updated fastening requirements.

How much does a roof damage public adjuster cost?

Claim Guardians charges nothing upfront. We work on contingency and only collect a fee when we successfully increase your insurance settlement for roof damage. If we don't win you more money, you owe us nothing.
