Commercial Roof Replacement

Before asking whether a new roof could lower insurance premiums for your business, it is important to know how insurers review claims.

The reason that your business location needs a new roof, and the timing of the roof replacement, are the biggest factors to impact insurance premium pricing.

A new roof can lower insurance premiums by 5%-35%.

Before your business banks on receiving an insurance discount for adding a new roof, know that several factors determine the insurance rate.

Reason for Replacement

In general, a roof must be voluntarily upgraded or replaced in order to be eligible for lower insurance premiums.

Most companies will award a discount as a thank you for prioritizing the safety of your business through improved roof quality.

However, if a business site requires a new roof due to a disaster, the roof replacement could trigger an increase in rates.

  • Consider how many claims have been made on existing roof(s) at your business location(s), as multiple insurance claims could hike premiums.
  • If a business location roof replacement follows a partial repair after last year's hurricane damage, be prepared for a possible increase, not a decrease.
