Frequently Asked Questions

Does Texas insurance cover roof replacement after a hailstorm?
Yes, most Texas HO-3 policies cover hail damage to roofs. Texas law prohibits insurers from non-renewing a policy solely because of a weather-related claim within 5 years. However, many insurers now offer Actual Cash Value (ACV) rather than Replacement Cost Value (RCV) for roofs over 10 years old — read your declarations page carefully.
