The Census Bureau counts about 45,896 homes in the county. The largest group was built in the 1990s (26%), and 69% were built before 2000. 83% are single-family detached houses and 81% of occupied homes are owner-occupied.
Age matters in a claim. Many policies now pay older roofs on an actual cash value basis or a roof payment schedule, so a 20-year-old roof can collect far less than a 5-year-old one after the same storm. Read how roof age changes a claim and roof payment schedules.
A short checklist for Fayette County homeowners
- Check soft metals first: gutters, downspouts, vents and AC fins show hail before shingles do.
- Do not climb the roof yourself; a roofer with fall protection should.
- Pin down the date of loss before you file. How to choose it.
- Tarp active leaks and keep receipts. Your duty to mitigate.
- Never sign anything that waives or covers your deductible. Georgia law on deductibles.
