Ive heard about discounts for impact-resistant roofs. Whats the story?
First, don’t confuse impact-resistant with hail-resistant; they are not the same. While it is true that insurers can now give premium discounts on new roofs using UL2218-compliant roofing, those materials may not be hail-proof, and their increased cost may not offset the discount. UL2218 Form How can I avoid paying my deductible on an insurance claim. Short answer: you can’t. Some roofers will increase the bid to cover that deductible and rebate it to you, but that practice is illegal, and we do not engage in it. Mid Cities Roofing is a respected, permanent, local company, and we don’t cheat either the insurers, or you.
