Insurance in Florida covers roof storm damage in most cases. Essentially, anything that is seen as out of your control will likely be covered by insurance.

The cases most commonly covered by insurance include damage due to:

• Fires
• Wind damage
• Storms, hurricanes, or tornadoes
• Vandalism
• Falling objects, tree limbs, or hail
• Damage from wind-driven rain
  

Most roofs require you to replace them every 15-20 years.

Even if your roof seems to be in good condition after its expected lifespan, we recommend you start planning to have it replaced to avoid bigger problems.
