Insurance Totaled The Roof, Now The Deductible

Many would say the first and most difficult part of the process is getting your insurance to buy your roof. Now that part is over you still have work to do. Your need to research purchasing a large ticket item which a roof is. Here is a good place to do that. The other hurdle is you deductible.

Insurance Deductibles Are Rising

Gone are the days of the $250 dollar deductible. Today, the most common is 1% of the value. This is significant. As building cost have greatly increased over the years, insurance companies are requiring a more sharing of the cost by raising deductibles. Rumor has it that State Farm is raising this to 2% and many smaller insurance companies will follow.

As a firm believer in not recreating the wheel, this has been well addressed by Homestead Roofing in Colorado Springs .  They have a great YouTube Channel  that has addressed this topic and are an excellent source for anyone anywhere buying a roof.
