By AAA Public Adjusters
When a storm rolls through your neighborhood—bringing high winds, hail, and flying debris—it’s natural to expect your homeowner’s insurance to step in. After all, that’s what it’s for, right?
But for thousands of homeowners across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and beyond, the reality is far more frustrating. Insurance companies are increasingly denying legitimate roof damage claims, leaving homeowners to foot the bill for repairs that should be covered.
So, why are insurance carriers denying roof damage they once routinely paid for?
The answer, as we’ve seen time and again at AAA Public Adjusters, is clear: Profit over policyholders.
The Insurance Industry’s Quiet Shift
In recent years, insurers have quietly tightened their internal claim review standards—often without telling you, the policyholder. Adjusters are being trained to reduce claim payouts, reclassify storm damage as “wear and tear,” and dispute even clear signs of wind or hail damage.
From a business standpoint, it makes sense: natural disasters are more frequent and severe, construction costs are rising, and claims are piling up. But for homeowners, these strategies amount to bad-faith claim handling that leaves families vulnerable after damaging storms.
The 5 Most Common (and Unfair) Denial Tactics We See
1. Blaming Age Instead of Storms
Insurance adjusters often claim roof damage is due to “wear and tear” or “poor maintenance.” But in reality, they’re overlooking new wind creases, hail bruising, or shingle displacement that clearly occurred during the storm.
2. “No Weather in Your Area” Excuses
Even when storms batter nearby homes, insurers may say, “No storm activity was recorded at your address.” They often rely on imprecise or outdated weather reports, ignoring the actual damage on your roof.
3. “Not Enough Damage” Argument
Some adjusters claim the roof damage isn’t extensive enough to warrant replacement. This ignores state matching laws or local building code upgrades, which often require uniformity and safety compliance.
4. Delayed Reporting Rejection
Insurers may reject your claim by saying you waited too long, even if you reported it as soon as the damage was discovered. If damage was hidden or slow-developing, this argument doesn’t hold water—but they’ll still try it.
5. Sending Biased Inspectors
Many carriers use third-party engineers or contractors who minimize damage scope to save the insurer money. These inspectors are often incentivized to find no damage, or to describe damage as “pre-existing.”
The Bottom Line: You Deserve a Fair Review
If your insurance company denied your storm damage claim—or paid far less than needed—don’t give up. Most homeowners don’t realize they can dispute these decisions and even reopen denied claims.
That’s where we come in.
