Self Paying vs. Insurance:
Which is Right for You?
When replacing the roof on your home there are two routes you can take to pay for it: self-paying through financing or cash, or filing an insurance claim. The great majority of roof replacements are covered by insurance? When a roof has suffered damage, it may qualify for an insurance claim—but what sort of damage does insurance cover? And how does that process work? Let INNOVA be your guide. As community conscious roofing company serving Houston, Sugar Land, Katy, Missouri City, Richmond/Ronseberg, Fulshear, Pearland, Alvin, Cypress and surrounding areas, we’ve can guarantee to provide the best value and professional customer service for your roofing solutions and so much more.
What Does Insurance Cover?
Many homeowners misunderstand the type of damage an insurance company will cover. A tree falling on your roof isn’t the only sort of damage that could qualify your roof replacement for insurance coverage. There are lots of other, less obvious kinds of damage that insurance companies will cover that aren’t evident until you actually get up on the roof.
For instance, shingles have what’s called a “bond-to-bond” seal which secures the shingles to the ones beneath them. Weather events can (and often do) blow through, breaking that seal and putting creases in your shingles, compromising their integrity. This type of damage can’t be seen from the ground, but the shingles are indeed damaged and may qualify for coverage under common insurance policies.

FAIR AND RESPONSIBLE PRICING
​
Make sure you are getting fair and responsible pricing. As we all know, there is always someone who will do it cheaper. Innova Green Roofing Solutions does continuous cost information sharing with the insurance companies and is always aware of current pricing. Insurance companies do continuous research in the ever-changing costs for repair and replacement in order to pay the lowest and fairest cost to their insured. The insurance company expects you to use a professional quality contractor that can do replacement work in a timely manner, pay all bills promptly to avoid material and mechanic liens, provide quality communication and service during the process, and ultimately warrant all work. Insurance proceeds typically provide sufficient compensation for a professionally managed contractor to provide proper service to its clients.
