Do Insurance Companies Really Pay for New Roofs After Storms in Greensboro?
After every major storm, homeowners across Greensboro ask the same question: Will my insurance actually pay to replace my roof? The short answer is: yes—if you know what to do and act fast. At Old Timers Roofing, Inc., we help Triad homeowners navigate the process and maximize coverage for storm-related damage.
✅ When Insurance Covers a New Roof
Homeowner policies typically cover roof replacement when damage is caused by a qualifying storm event—hail, wind, or fallen debris. Here’s what matters:
- Documented storm dates in your zip code
- Visible damage (shingles, flashing, underlayment)
- Inspection and report by a licensed roofing company
🚩 Common Reasons for Claim Denial
Insurance adjusters look for reasons to minimize payouts. Claims can be denied for:
- Delays in filing
- Pre-existing wear and tear
- Lack of documentation or photo evidence
- Homeowner failed to mitigate further damage
That’s why we recommend calling us immediately after a storm for a free professional inspection.
⚠️ Never Inspect the Roof Yourself
We cannot stress this enough: do not climb onto your roof to check for damage. It’s extremely unsafe—and you may miss hidden issues. Our local pros use drones, thermal imaging, and certified techniques to safely inspect every detail.

🏡 Tip: Know Your Deductible
Most Greensboro policies include a 1%–2% wind/hail deductible. On a $300,000 home, that’s $3,000–$6,000. Our job is to make sure that’s all you pay—no surprise add-ons or denials.
