Promoting Better Roof Repairability Decisions to Stabilize Home Insurance in 2025


Repair decisions about roofs are often clouded with uncertainty.
As insurers know all too well, severe weather is causing more damage to homes than ever, and the costs to fix those damages continue to rise.
Homeowners facing damage are familiar with horror stories where restoring their home was a complicated process filled with tension and disagreement.
Roofs are at the center of these challenges. According to the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety, roof-related damage accounts for an estimated 70 to 90% of total insured residential catastrophic losses. Repair decisions about roofs are often clouded with uncertainty, and with lots of new claims adjusters in the field, the right next step on a claim is not always clear.
