Homes and roofs in Haralson County

The Census Bureau counts about 12,573 homes in the county. The largest group was built in the 1990s (22%), and 74% were built before 2000. 73% are single-family detached houses and 71% 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.

How to handle a roof claim here

  1. Get a free inspection with photos before you call your carrier, so you know whether there is a covered loss.
  2. Write down the storm date. The table above and the North Georgia Hail Map show the dates radar recorded hail.
  3. Report the claim promptly and keep the claim number.

  5. Compare the estimate line by line and supplement what was missed.
  6. After the work, send the final invoice to release recoverable depreciation.
