Roof inspection and restoration after hurricanes and named storms.

## What this page covers

Coastal NC is in the path of some of the strongest storms on the East Coast. After a hurricane or named storm, your roof needs a professional eye before the claim window closes — and before the next storm season arrives.


## Frequently asked questions

### What is a hurricane deductible and how does it affect my claim?

A hurricane deductible is a separate, higher deductible that applies when damage is caused by a named storm. In NC, it's typically 1–5% of your home's insured value — not a flat dollar amount. On a $400,000 home, a 2% hurricane deductible means $8,000 out of pocket before insurance kicks in. Understanding this before you file helps you plan.

### Do I need an inspection even if I don't see obvious damage after a hurricane?

Yes. Hurricane damage often isn't visible from the ground. Wind lifting, broken seals, cracked shingles, and flashing failure can hide until the next heavy rain. A post-storm inspection costs you nothing and tells you exactly where you stand before the claim window closes.

### How long do I have to file a hurricane damage claim in North Carolina?

Most NC policies require filing within one year of the named storm date. Some are shorter. File as soon as possible — documentation is easier when damage is fresh and the storm is recent on record.

### Does homeowners insurance cover hurricane roof damage in NC?

Typically yes, for wind and rain damage caused by named storms. Flood damage is separate and requires NFIP or a flood rider. Our inspection documents what's storm-caused versus pre-existing so your claim reflects the full scope of hurricane damage — not just the obvious pieces.
