You home insurance will cover certain "sudden" losses resulting from the perils described in your policy. Typical sudden loss perils are fire, wind, hail, lightning etc.
Your homeowners insurance policy does not provide coverage for poorly installed roofs nor for cosmetic or aesthetic conditions of your home nor from conditions that result from normal wear and tear.
If your roof has developed blisters this could be a sign of age or of improper installation of the roofing materials and can be addressed by your roofing contractors General Liability policy. Most Contractors General Liability insurance policies provide coverage for the Roofers completed operations and quality of workmanship issues.
NO, Homeowners insurance does not cover automobiles.
Depends on what damaged the roof. They almost always cover it. Call them. If they say they don't cover it, then ask where it says that in their policy.
File a claim on your comprehensive auto insurance if you have it. Your homeowners insurance will not cover damage to your vehicle.
This depends on the Terms and Conditions of the Policy, you will find these on the Policy Document itself.
In most states, homeowner's insurance does not cover water damage from a leaky roof. Water damage is generally covered under a separate policy called flood insurance.
A call to your insurance company describing why the shingles were lost will answer your question.
Yes. This is not a 'flood' situation. Flood insurance covers rising waters entering the home. The homeowners policy covers resulting water damage from a wind damaged roof.
No,, homeowners insurance does not cover normal maintenance costs nor damages that result from lack of maintenance.
Your question can be read in a couple of ways. 1. If an occurrence covered by a homeowners policy caused damage to the roof, it probably would be covered. If the occurrence that caused the damage was a type of occurrence covered by the policy, the damage would likely be covered. 2. Conversely, if the roof leaked just because it was old, insurance would not cover repair or replacement because insurance does not cover ordinary wear and tear. 3. If what you mean is whether a new roof (rather than an existing roof) is covered, the rule stated in #1 would apply.
Check with your agent. There may be some compensation for repairs, but not for ridding your home of the raccoons.
Only your insurance agent can tell you. I would think not. It's like getting an oil leak on your car. You pay for that. If the leaf is the result of something falling on your roof I believe that would be an insurance issue.
It depends on the termsof your insurance.
