Roofing Insurance Laws in Texas: What You Need to Know

In Texas, roofing claims are governed by a number of regulations aimed at protecting both homeowners and insurance companies. Understanding these laws is essential for efficient collaboration between insurers and roofing contractors.

1. Texas Insurance Code – Timely Claims Reporting

Texas law requires homeowners to report roofing damage to their insurance company within a reasonable time frame—usually within one year of the date of damage. Insurance companies must respond promptly to claims and can only deny claims based on specific exclusions in the homeowner’s policy.

2. Storm and Hail Damage Coverage

Storm damage is one of the most common causes of roofing claims in Texas. Homeowners are entitled to file claims for roof repairs or replacement after hail or windstorms, provided the damage is documented. Insurance providers rely on accurate roof assessments to determine the extent of the damage and approve the necessary repairs.

3. Prohibition of “Storm Chasing” Practices

In Texas, contractors who go door-to-door soliciting roofing repairs after a storm (often referred to as “storm chasers”) are prohibited from engaging in deceptive practices. It’s essential for both homeowners and insurance companies to work with licensed, reputable roofing contractors—like A&O Roofing Solutions—to ensure that the repair process is done ethically and legally.

4. Public Adjusters and Roofing Contractors

While public adjusters can assist homeowners with claims, it’s important to note that they are legally prohibited from negotiating on behalf of a roofing contractor. Insurance companies and roofing companies must work directly with the policyholder or adjuster to ensure claims are processed fairly.

Steps to Take When Working with Home Insurance Companies and Roofing Companies for Roofing Claims

To ensure a smooth, efficient process for handling roofing claims, insurance companies and roofing contractors should follow these steps:

1. Initial Assessment

The first step is a thorough roof inspection by a qualified roofing contractor like A&O Roofing Solutions. Our team assesses the damage, documents the findings, and provides a detailed report for the insurance company. This helps to set the foundation for a well-informed claim.

2. Claim Filing

Once the inspection is complete, the homeowner or contractor files the claim with the insurance company. It’s essential for the roofing contractor to provide clear documentation of the damage and the expected repair costs.

3. Insurance Review

The insurance company reviews the claim, typically using the contractor's inspection report, to determine the extent of the coverage and any possible exclusions. We’re here to assist in answering any questions and providing further clarification if needed.

4. Approval and Scope of Work

Once the claim is approved, the roofing contractor and homeowner agree on the scope of work and the repair timeline. A&O Roofing Solutions ensures that all work complies with the insurance company’s guidelines, and we provide regular updates throughout the project.

5. Completion and Payment

After the repairs or replacement are completed, the roofing contractor submits an invoice to the insurance company. We ensure that the work is done to code and satisfies both the homeowner's and insurance company’s expectations, minimizing the risk of disputes.

Best Practices for Insurance Companies and Roofing Contractors

1. Maintain Transparent Communication
   Clear, open communication is key. Insurance companies should communicate clearly with both homeowners and contractors, setting realistic timelines and expectations.

2. Verify Contractor Credentials
   Before partnering with a roofing contractor, insurance companies should verify the contractor’s credentials, including licensing, insurance coverage, and reputation.

3. Document Everything
   Ensure that all assessments, estimates, and communications are properly documented. This helps avoid misunderstandings and provides transparency in case of a dispute.

4. Stay Updated on Texas Laws
   Since roofing laws and insurance regulations can change, it’s important for both insurers and contractors to stay informed about new developments that may affect roofing claims.
