What Your Homeowner's Policy Typically Covers

Most standard homeowner's policies cover sudden, accidental damage from weather events. Here's the breakdown.

Usually Covered

  • Hail damage to shingles, gutters, and vents
  • Wind damage — missing, lifted, or creased shingles
  • Tornado and severe storm damage
  • Fallen trees and large debris impacts
  • Water damage from storm-created openings
  • Ice dam damage (in applicable policies)
  • Lightning strike damage

Typically NOT Covered

  • Normal wear and tear over time
  • Lack of maintenance or neglect
  • Cosmetic-only damage with no functional impact
  • Pre-existing damage before the storm event
  • Roofs past their expected lifespan (age exclusions)
  • Damage from pests, mold, or rot
  • Improper prior installation or repairs

Insurance Claim Myths vs. Facts

Don't let bad advice cost you a new roof. Here's the truth.

Myth

“Filing a claim will raise my rates.”

Fact

Arkansas law prohibits insurers from raising premiums solely due to weather-related claims. Your rates are based on regional risk, not individual claims.

Myth

“My insurance company will send a roofer.”

Fact

You choose your own contractor — always. Insurance companies may suggest preferred vendors, but you have full control over who repairs your roof.

Myth

“A good contractor will cover my deductible.”

Fact

That's insurance fraud in Arkansas. Any contractor who offers to waive your deductible is breaking the law and putting your claim at risk.

Myth

“If there's no leak, there's no damage.”

Fact

Hail and wind damage can compromise your roof without causing an immediate leak. Cracked shingles and missing granules lead to failure over time.

Myth

“I should wait to file until I see a leak.”

Fact

Waiting allows damage to worsen and can jeopardize your claim. File within 30 days while evidence is fresh and damage is clearly storm-related.

Myth

“The insurance payout is what the repair costs.”

Fact

Initial payouts are often underpaid. A supplement with proper documentation can recover the full cost. That's where having an experienced contractor matters.
