North Carolina insurance carriers depreciate roofs after 15 years, costing you thousands in out-of-pocket expenses

Pay Thousands Out of Pocket

After 15 years, depreciation kicks in at 5% per year. On a $20,000 roof claim with a 20-year-old roof, you'll pay $5,000 out of pocket due to 25% depreciation. Documentation resets this!

🌪️

Storm Damage Gets Expensive

When storm damage occurs to an older roof, depreciation dramatically reduces your payout. A $30,000 hail damage claim on a 20-year roof means you pay $7,500 due to depreciation alone.

Depreciation Hits Hard

After 15 years, carriers depreciate roof coverage by 5% per year. A 20-year-old roof only receives 75% coverage, meaning you pay 25% out of pocket on any claim.

Risk of Non-Renewal

Many carriers now refuse to renew policies for homes with roofs over 20 years old without inspection documentation or proof of replacement.

Tightened Guidelines

Following recent storms, NC carriers require documentation within 30 days of renewal. Missing this deadline can result in immediate cancellation.

Maintain Full Coverage

Proper documentation ensures you maintain full replacement cost coverage instead of actual cash value, protecting your investment.

North Carolina Insurance Guidelines

Understanding the new requirements helps you maintain coverage and avoid surprises

Critical Age Thresholds

North Carolina insurance carriers have established strict age-based requirements for roof coverage that every homeowner must understand:

  • 0-10 Years: Full coverage with standard deductibles
  • 10-15 Years: May require inspection documentation
  • 15-20 Years: Depreciation begins, higher deductibles apply
  • 20+ Years: Risk of non-renewal or ACV-only coverage

Roof Depreciation Impact:

North Carolina insurance carriers apply strict depreciation schedules to roof claims. After your roof turns 15 years old, the coverage amount decreases by 5% each year.

Real Cost Example:

If you have a $20,000 roof damage claim with a 20-year-old roof, depreciation reduces coverage to 75%. This means insurance only pays $15,000, leaving you to pay $5,000 out of pocket - plus your deductible!

Critical Information for Homeowners

⚠️

16-year roof = 95% coverage

25-year roof = 50% coverage
This means YOU pay the difference!
