Hail is the claim you should plan for
The Front Range sits in one of the most hail prone corridors in the country, and hail is a leading driver of homeowners claims and premium in this part of Colorado. What matters most is how your policy settles a roof loss. Some policies pay replacement cost, while others pay actual cash value on roofs, which subtracts depreciation and can leave a large gap. Many policies also carry a separate wind and hail deductible that is a percentage of the dwelling limit rather than a flat dollar amount. Reading those two terms before a storm is the single most useful thing a Colorado homeowner can do.
