Roof Replacement & Insurance Claim Calculator
Replacement cost by material, and what a storm claim actually pays after depreciation.
How this number is built
Doing it by hand
Step 1
Measure roof area rather than floor area — pitch adds substantially to both.
Step 2
Get three itemised quotes separating material, labour, tear-off and disposal.
Step 3
Photograph storm damage from the ground and keep any hail or debris evidence.
Step 4
Check whether your policy settles on replacement cost or actual cash value before filing.
Step 5
Never sign a contractor assignment of benefits without reading what rights you hand over.
What people ask next
What is recoverable depreciation?
The withheld part of a replacement-cost settlement, released once you prove the roof was actually replaced.
Should I file for minor damage?
If the repair is near or below the deductible, filing can cost you more in future premium than the payout is worth.
