Covered Perils: Storms and Wind
Most homeowners insurance policies in NJ cover roof damage caused by sudden, accidental events—known as "covered perils." This includes damage from windstorms, hail, fallen trees, and lightning.
What Is NOT Covered: Wear and Tear
Insurance does not cover roof replacements due to normal wear and tear, age, or lack of maintenance. If your 25-year-old roof starts leaking simply because it's old, the replacement cost is entirely out of pocket.
The Claims Process
If you suspect storm damage, file a claim promptly. The insurance adjuster will inspect the roof. Having a professional roofer present during this inspection can help ensure all damage is properly documented.
