When Will Insurance Pay for a Full Roof Replacement? What Texas Homeowners Need to Know


Roofing Insurance Questions? You’re Not Alone

If you’re like most homeowners in Texas, dealing with roof damage after a storm can be overwhelming—especially when it comes to insurance claims. The good news? You don’t have to navigate it alone.

At Legacy Roofing and Contracting, we specialize in helping homeowners understand their rights, the insurance process, and when they may qualify for a full roof replacement. Whether your roof was hit by hail, wind, or time itself, this guide breaks it all down in plain English.


Does Insurance Cover Roof Replacement?

The short answer is: sometimes yes—and sometimes no. Homeowners insurance will often cover the cost of a new roof if the damage is caused by a covered peril, such as:

  • Hailstorms

  • Wind damage

  • Fire

  • Vandalism

  • Falling trees

But coverage depends on your policy, your deductible, and the extent of the damage.

Here’s the rule of thumb:

If the damage exceeds 25% of your roof’s surface area—and the roofing work was permitted at the time of installation—your insurance company may cover the cost of replacing the entire roof.

Signs You Might Qualify for a Roof Replacement

Wondering if it’s time to call a pro? Look for these signs:

  • Shingles missing or curling

  • Water stains on ceilings or walls

  • Granules in gutters

  • Soft spots on the roof

  • Neighbors getting new roofs (after the same storm)

📌 Pro Tip: If your roof is over 15 years old, it’s especially important to get it inspected annually—even without visible damage.


Why Texas Roofs Are at Higher Risk

Texas is no stranger to hail, tornadoes, and brutal heat cycles. These conditions put extra strain on your roof, accelerating wear and tear. That’s why insurance claims are more common here than in many other states.


What If the Insurance Adjuster Denies Your Claim?

Unfortunately, it happens. Insurance adjusters may:

  • Miss key damage areas

  • Underestimate costs

  • Deny coverage based on policy loopholes

But you’re not powerless.

We’ll work with you to:

  • Request a second inspection

  • Provide contractor documentation

  • Recommend a public adjuster if needed

Don’t take a denial as the final word. At Legacy Roofing and Contracting, we fight for what's fair.
