Roof damage isn’t something most people have to deal with often. In fact, roofs are designed to last for at least 20 years, so problems could be few and far between. When a problem does arise, many homeowners have questions, especially when it comes to insurance coverage. Almost all homeowners insurance policies come with a deductible for roof replacement in the form of a dollar amount or percentage of home value.
