Hurricane season is here, and for many Louisiana homeowners, that means worrying about roof damage after a storm.
One of the biggest misconceptions we hear is: "My roof was already old, so my insurance won't cover anything."
That's not always true.
While insurance companies don't cover normal wear and tear, they may still be responsible for damage caused by a hurricane, even if your roof wasn't brand new before the storm.
If your claim has been denied, underpaid, or you're being told your roof is "too old," don't assume that's the final answer. Understanding the difference between storm damage and pre-existing wear can make a big difference in your claim.
The most important thing? Document everything and know your rights before accepting a settlement offer.
