Homes and roofs in Walton County

The Census Bureau counts about 36,613 homes in the county. The largest group was built in the 2000s (29%), and 58% were built before 2000. 86% are single-family detached houses and 79% of occupied homes are owner-occupied.

Where so many homes are past their first or second roof, adjusters often weigh wear against storm damage. Knowing the difference helps: see wear and tear vs hail damage and roof age and insurance.

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.
  4. Have your roofer at the adjuster inspection with their own documentation.
  5. Compare the estimate line by line and supplement what was missed.
  6. After the work, send the final invoice to release recoverable depreciation.
