How much life is left in my Florence roof?
Typical lifespans are published ranges for each material; for a Florence house, real life also depends on installation, attic ventilation and the weather Florence gets.
If insurance covers it, what do I pay in Florence?
Only if the claim is approved. The ACV math is a straight-line example over a 25-year life; insurers writing Florence policies use their own schedules, so check your policy.
Has hail hit my Florence roof since it was installed?
County-level hail reports for Florence from the NOAA archive this page uses; a county report is not proof of damage at your Florence address.

Roof Leaking Right Now?
Do these three things in the next hour, then send your request below.
- Move valuables out from under the leak, put a bucket under the drip, and cut power at the breaker to any area where water is near an outlet or fixture — if you can do that safely.
- Stay off the roof. A wet or storm-damaged roof is a fall hazard, day or night — leave the climbing to a licensed contractor.
- Take dated photos and video of the damage, inside and out, before you clean anything up — insurance claims usually need this.
Wind-driven rain from Florence's tropical-storm season does most of its damage at the ridge, flashing, and roof penetrations — spots that look fine from the street but let water in until a leak shows on the ceiling below. When a storm moves through Florence, have a contractor inspect within 30 days: early documentation of any damage keeps an insurance claim straightforward if coverage applies.
