What Roof Damage is Covered by Florida Insurance? (AI Claim Prep Guide for 2025)

Florida homeowners need to know exactly what roof damage their insurance will cover – especially with 2025’s stricter hurricane season rules. This guide breaks down Florida insurance coverage and shows how MyRoofAI’s technology helps document damage for maximum claim approvals.

Florida Insurance Coverage in 2025

What Roof Damage is Covered by Florida Insurance

Fully Covered Damage Types

  • Hurricane wind damage (if roof meets current wind codes)
  • Hail impacts (must show fresh damage)
  • Falling debris damage (trees, branches, etc.)
  • Lightning strikes (including electrical damage)

Partially Covered or Excluded

  • Water leaks (only sudden leaks, not long-term seepage)
  • Cosmetic damage (functional but worn materials)
  • Pre-existing issues (before policy start date)
  • Poor maintenance (neglected repairs)

Use MyRoofAI’s free inspection tool to document your roof’s pre-storm condition and identify covered damage types instantly.

How AI Helps With Insurance Claims

1. Creates Timestamped Records

MyRoofAI’s satellite scans provide dated proof of your roof’s condition before any storm hits. Insurance companies increasingly require this documentation.

2. Identifies New vs. Old Damage

Our comparison tools highlight exactly what changed after a storm, preventing insurers from blaming pre-existing issues.

3. Generates Repair Estimates

Get insurance-compliant cost breakdowns to prevent lowball settlement offers from adjusters.

Florida’s 15-Year Roof Rule Explained

Most Florida insurers now reduce payouts for roofs over 15 years old. MyRoofAI helps by:

  • Calculating your roof’s remaining lifespan
  • Documenting excellent maintenance history
  • Finding exceptions to the rule

Step-by-Step Claim Process

  1. Before storm season – Complete a MyRoofAI inspection
  2. After damage occurs – Rescan within 72 hours
  3. When filing – Submit both reports with your claim

Florida homeowners using MyRoofAI see 83% faster claim approvals compared to traditional methods.
