Every page on this site

Everything published on Roof Insurance Claim STL, newest first. This site covers St. Louis and the greater St. Louis area, and every page on it is written to be useful on its own rather than to lead somewhere. Keys Roofing is the contractor behind it and the phone number on every page reaches the Keys office directly.

A homeowner reading any one of these is usually part way through a decision and short of one specific fact. The list below says what each page answers, so you can go to the one you need instead of reading the site.

• ACV, RCV and recoverable depreciation Why the first insurance cheque is smaller than the estimate, what recoverable depreciation actually is, and what Missouri's own insurance regulator says about actual cash value roof policies.

• Your deductible, and Missouri's deductible tax credit How a deductible behaves in a Missouri roof claim, why separate wind and hail percentages catch people out, what RSMo 407.725 forbids any roofer offering, and the RSMo 135.445 credit expiring in October 2026.

• The eight steps of a St. Louis roof claim Every move in a Missouri roof insurance claim in order, from the dated storm to the final depreciation release, with the document each step produces and who owns it.
• The Leak Appeared After a Freeze. That Does Not Date the Damage. Learn how to separate storm damage, ice backup, condensation and an older roof defect before deciding whether to report a claim.
• When a roof claim is denied in Missouri How to tell a real denial from an underpayment or a scope disagreement, how a reinspection is requested, and the routes Missouri leaves open afterwards including the five business day cancellation clock.
• Who does what in a roof insurance claim The six parties who touch a Missouri roof insurance claim, what each is empowered to do, and the four things RSMo 407.725 closes off to a roofing contractor entirely.

Nothing on this site is advice about an insurance claim. Under RSMo 407.725 a roofing contractor in Missouri may not represent or negotiate a homeowner's claim, and may not offer anything about a deductible. What Keys does is document the damage, put a written scope with photographs and measurements in your hands, and attend as the contractor. You deal with your own insurer.
