Will homeowners insurance cover a new roof?
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.

It depends on why your roof is leaking. If your roof was damaged by a covered peril such as fire lightning etc. Then your Homeowners insurance would cover the damage. If your roof is old and worn out, it just needs to be replaced and would not be covered by your homeowners insurance. Roofs require the home owners maintenance and upkeep along with replacement every 20 years or so. It's just part of the cost of owning a home.

If your roof is fairly new and you just have a leak with no visible damage, then it is most likely the result of faulty workmanship and again, not covered by your home insurance policy.
