It really depends on several factors such as the language of your Homeowners Insurance Policy, The condition of your roof but primarily, whether you have replacement valuation on your homeowners insurance policy.
If your wanting your roof replaced simply because it is worn out then there is no policy that will cover it as that is just a normal and expected part of home ownership. Composition (Shingle) roofs need to be replaced about every 20 years or so.
If your roof is severely damaged and a total loss due to a covered peril such as wind or hail damage, with replacement valuation coverage on your policy and the roof is beyond repair, then you should have no problem getting it covered for replacement by your insurer.

If your car is hit by debris from a roof will the homeowner's insurance pay or will your car insurance have to pay?
Depends if it is (1)your roof and your car, (2)your neighbors roof and your car, or (3)your roof and your neighbors car. 1 - You can't sue yourself so your homeowner's liability is out of the question, if you have comprehensive coverage on your car it will be subject to that deductible and your car insurance will pay. 2 - Your neighbors homeowner's liability coverage will pay for the damage to your car. 3 - Your homeowner's liability coverage will pay for damage to their vehicle. 2 or 3 you may want to get an estimate on how much it will cost to fix your vehicle, having a homeowners claim can seriously impact your ability to qualify for competitive homeowners insurance rates and you should only file claims against your homeowners if it is truly necessary. I would say if the cost to repair the car is under $2500 you should work out an agreement with to pay out of pocket instead of through homeowners, unless you can get a gaurantee in writing from the homeowners insurance saying your rates will not go up due to the claim. Good luck.

Does homeowners insurance cover roof replacement?
It depends on why your roof needs replacement. If your roofing material has reached the end of it's life expectancy (normally no more than 20 years) then it is not covered. This is an owners maintenance issue considered a normal and expected part of home ownership. Much the same as a home needing an occasional paint job. If the roof needs replacement due to damaged caused by a covered peril such as Fire, wind hail etc. then you may have coverage. If damaged due to a covered peril and you have a replacement valuation on your policy then your insurance company would cover the cost of repair or replacement depending on the extent of damage and the roofs repairability. If you purchased a less expensive policy based on ACV, then the insurance company would only pay the depreciated value of the roof. In this case the home owner would need to make up the difference out of pocket in order to pay for the roof replacement.
