Roof Insurance FAQs - Indiana
Common questions about roof insurance claims in Indiana.
Will insurance pay for a new roof?
Yes, if your roof was damaged by a covered peril like hail, wind, or fallen trees. Cosmetic damage or normal wear and tear is typically not covered.
What is ACV vs RCV for roof insurance?
ACV (Actual Cash Value) pays depreciated value, while RCV (Replacement Cost Value) pays full replacement cost. RCV policies provide better coverage for roof claims.
How long do I have to file a roof claim in Indiana?
Most Indiana insurance policies require claims within 1 year of the damage occurring. Check your specific policy for exact timelines.
What if my roof claim is denied?
You can appeal the decision, request a re-inspection, hire a public adjuster, or consult with an attorney specializing in insurance claims.
What is recoverable depreciation?
Recoverable depreciation is the amount insurance withholds initially on RCV policies, then releases after work is completed. Submit your final invoice to claim it.
