What Folsom clients should know
Why carriers care so much about roof age
Your roof is the first line of defense for everything underneath it. As shingles age they crack and lift, which leads to the water getting under your roofing material, causing damage to the roof. Roof damage is the most common homeowners insurance claim. In recent years California carriers have tightened homeowners underwriting, roof age is one of the first questions on nearly every application. It can affect eligibility, pricing, and how a future roof claim would be paid.
How roof age affects your quote
Many carriers set eligibility cutoffs based on roof age and material. A particular type of roof past a certain age may need to be replaced before a carrier will write the home. Some carriers also request photos or an inspection before binding coverage on a roof.
What to have ready when you call
Knowing the year the roof was installed or replaced, the material, and whether the work was permitted makes quoting faster and more accurate. If you have replaced your roof, keep the receipt, permit record, or any documentation of the work being done.
