    What’s covered under replacement roof insurance coverage? 

    American Family Insurance’s base home policy provides ACV coverage for roofs. With this optional insurance, you can add RCV coverage for repairing windstorm and hail damage or full roof replacement.

    Examples: How Homeowners Roof Coverage Can Help 

    Just as a roof should protect everything under it, roof insurance coverage should protect the roof itself. Here are three examples of situations where it could prove helpful. 

    Lightbulb
    Did you know?
    “Do you live in an earthquake-prone area? Even small tremors can damage your roof, and only earthquake insurance could cover it.” 
    Hail

    Hail

    Your roof can brush off a few hailstones, but repeated strikes can weaken the exterior or even create holes. Roof damage coverage can help pay for repairs that reinforce your roof, or even roof replacement if needed. 
    Wind

    Wind damage

    High-speed gusts* can damage the shingles on your roof. The flashing is also vulnerable. Then there’s the possibility of airborne debris causing structural damage to your roof. The costs associated with this type of damage can be high, and replacement cost roof damage coverage can help.
    Fire

    Unexpected Fires

    A lightning strike sets your roof ablaze. Severe damage from an unexpected fire is the kind of crisis that this coverage is meant to help resolve. You'd need all the help you can get for a cost as expensive as replacing an entire roof.
