Paying your deductible on a hail claim is like paying your copay at your doctor’s office.
Why it matters: For years roofers waived deductibles to compete for business.
- House Bill 2102 made this clear —> a contractor helping a homeowner avoid paying their deductible is committing insurance fraud.
📣 There’s good news! Once you cover your deductible, insurance picks up the tab for everything else.
- Upgrades and add-ons are extra of course. 😁
✅ For your Smart Homeowner list
- Know your deductible! Make sure you know your deductible for hail and wind claims — often higher than other losses.
- If your deductible is higher than 1%, find out the cost to get down to 1% —> it’s often well worth it!
- Please, please, please … make sure you have full replacement cost for your roof — or replacement will be much costlier than you think.
Best,
Travis
