But we went to our insurers and within a week their person had visited and we had a check for $10k. We were stunned - that would not have happened in the UK.
Batterbee then went through the various options and we went for a higher grade roof with transferable guarantee. Our roof is around 1800 sq ft.
The total cost was $15k.
The insurance company sent us a further check for just over $2k when the job was completed. Our deductible was $1k. Had we not upgraded the roof that would have been the limit of our cost.
Batterbee did a great job - as confirmed by the wind expert we had to produce our certificate for the insurers.
Hope that helps

Do you mind me asking why you were referred to your insurance company and the reason they paid money to you for your roof?
