Most residential roofs in Wisconsin are designed for 20–40 lbs per square foot of snow load depending on local codes. Wet snow weighs significantly more than dry snow. If you notice ceiling cracks, sticking doors, or visible ridge deflection after heavy snowfall in Newburg, call us immediately — these are signs of structural stress.

Get a professional inspection first to document the damage. Then contact your insurance carrier with your policy number and a description of the event. Your carrier will assign an adjuster. Having your contractor's report ready before the adjuster visit strengthens your claim.

Your deductible is the amount you pay before insurance coverage applies. Standard deductibles are a flat dollar amount ($1,000-$5,000). Wind and hail deductibles may be a percentage of your home's insured value — often 1-5% — which can be significantly higher.

Actual Cash Value coverage pays the depreciated value of your roof at the time of the claim. A 15-year-old roof with 15-year depreciation applied may receive significantly less than replacement cost. ACV policies produce lower payouts than Replacement Cost Value (RCV) policies.

Replacement Cost Value coverage pays to replace damaged roof components with equivalent new materials at current prices, less your deductible. RCV policies typically pay in two installments — an initial ACV payment, then the depreciation holdback after the work is completed.

Yes. Common denial reasons include attributing damage to wear and tear rather than a covered storm event, pre-existing conditions, maintenance neglect, or claims filed outside the policy window. Denials can be disputed with additional documentation or a public adjuster.

Some carriers require a roof certification — a licensed contractor's written statement that the roof meets minimum condition standards — for homes with aging roofs. A roof certification may also be required to maintain coverage or get a new policy.

Some carriers will non-renew policies on homes with roofs past a certain age (typically 20-25 years) or require ACV-only coverage for older roofs. Proactive replacement or a roof certification can address carrier concerns in some cases.

No. Leaks caused by age-related deterioration and maintenance failure are not covered perils. Insurance covers sudden, accidental damage from external events. The distinction between age-related and storm-related damage is often contested and requires documentation.

Some policies include matching provisions requiring that undamaged but visible roof sections be replaced to match newly installed storm-damaged sections when exact product matching isn't available. This can convert a partial replacement claim into a full replacement.

No. You have the right to choose your own licensed contractor for insurance-funded roofing work in all states. The insurance carrier pays the approved scope amount; your chosen contractor performs the work.

Assignment of benefits (AOB) transfers the insurance claim rights from the homeowner to the contractor. It has been associated with claim abuse in some markets and is now restricted or prohibited in several states. Most homeowners retain better control keeping the claim in their name.

On ACV claims, you receive a set payment that's yours to use. On RCV claims, the depreciation holdback is only released after the work is documented as completed. Your mortgage lender may also require repairs to be made promptly on their collateral property.

A scheduling clause or endorsement places a specific roof on a defined replacement cost or coverage schedule, regardless of depreciation. These are sometimes used for older roofs where standard ACV treatment would produce very low claim payments.

A new roof often reduces the premium because it lowers the carrier's risk. The discount varies by carrier, location, and material — impact-resistant shingles typically produce larger discounts. Ask your carrier specifically about discounts when replacing.
