Case Study: $56,000 Roof Damage Claim Settlement in Boca Raton from Hurricane Irma

Irma left many homes in Boca Raton with significant damage, especially multi-story homes. One example was a roof damage claim, a two story home where the insurance offer was way off what was needed to fix the roof. That’s where a Boca Raton public adjuster made all the difference.

Initial Issues
After Irma, the homeowner received an initial offer of $8,000 from their insurance company. That was not enough to fix the roof of their severely damaged home. With a daunting process and an undervalued claim, the homeowner turned to senior Boca public adjuster Stephen Lippy, who has years of experience handling complex claims.

How a Boca Raton Public Adjuster Made a Difference
Stephen Lippy reopened the claim and used his experience to do a full reassessment of the damages. He documented the full extent of the hurricane’s damage, including areas missed by the original adjuster. His approach included:

  • A full analysis of the roof’s structure and damage.

  • A comparison of repair estimates to show the true cost of repair.

  • Negotiation with the insurance company with evidence.

By presenting a strong case without filing a lawsuit, Stephen Lippy was able to get an additional $48,000 on top of the initial offer, for a total settlement of $56,000. Now the homeowner can fix their roof and get their home back to pre-Irma condition.

What Do Insurance Inspectors Look for on Roofs?
During a typical roof inspection, insurance adjusters look for:

  • Roof’s age and installation quality: Was it built to code?

  • Damaged or missing shingles: A common result of high winds.

  • Signs of wear, sun damage and tree damage: Indicators of long term issues.

  • Nail pops and structural weaknesses: Indicators of deeper damage that can compromise the roof.

Does Insurance Pay for Roof Damage?


Homeowners insurance covers roof replacements when damage is caused by a natural disaster or an unexpected event. But normal wear and tear or gradual deterioration is not covered. For homeowners who need fair settlements after sudden damage, working with a Boca public adjuster is key. They make sure claims are valued correctly and help homeowners get the best results without the hassle of going it alone.
