Can I Really Get a Free Roof From My Insurance?

Can I really get a free roof from my insurance? Thats a question we are asked a lot, and we’ve all seen those social media ads claiming you can get a “free roof”. Friends and neighbors may have shared their stories, and it’s tough to tell what’s real and what’s not. At United Contracting Group, we’ve helped thousands of homeowners successfully process insurance claims, and as the Valley’s go-to experts, we make sure your home insurance policy works for you. So, what’s the real deal about getting a new roof through your insurance?

The Truth About Insurance Restoration

Insurance restoration is about getting your home back to its original condition after unexpected damage, including your roof. But here’s the key: insurance only covers damage from unexpected events, like storms, fires, or water damage. It won’t cover general wear and tear over time. Understanding your policy is critical to knowing what’s covered and what isn’t.

Be cautious: Some unscrupulous individuals in the industry may promise to get your roof paid for by insurance without the required weather damage. They might fake damage or use shady tactics to deceive the insurance company. This is illegal and constitutes insurance fraud—avoid it at all costs. Trust your intuition and use common sense when dealing with contractors (Pro Tip: Double Check with the AZROC to make sure the contractor you are working with is in good standing).

Types of Roof Damage Insurance Typically Covers:

• Storm Damage: Tornadoes or thunderstorms ripping through your roof.
• Hail Damage: Shingles cracked or shattered by pounding hail.
• Wind Damage: Fierce winds ripping shingles off or bringing down trees onto your home.
• Fire Damage: Your roof compromised by an unexpected blaze.
• Water Damage: Rainwater leaks or pipe bursts causing significant damage.

Once damage occurs, your insurance company sends an adjuster to inspect and decide what’s covered. But that’s not the end of the story.

Can You Get a Free Roof? Here’s the Reality

Yes, your insurance can pay for a roof replacement—if the damage is caused by a covered event like a storm or fire. But every policy is different, so your coverage depends on your specific insurance terms. The notion of a “free roof” sounds appealing, but there are many factors in play, from policy details to damage causes.
