Colorado Springs Roofers: How to Deal with Rising Insurance Premiums

Many homeowners in Colorado found recent hailstorms, particularly last June, to be driving up their home insurance premiums. Various experts indicate that premiums started rising as early as December 2012.

Colorado Springs, CO (prHWY.com) March 27, 2013 - Colorado Springs, Colorado (March 6, 2013) - Blue Eagle Roofing & Construction is offering some expert insights on how to deal with rising homeowner insurance costs. The expert Colorado Springs roofers share a few realities on homeowners' premiums and some steps to address them.


Many homeowners in Colorado found recent hailstorms, particularly last June, to be driving up their home insurance premiums. Various experts indicate that premiums started rising as early as December 2012. About 20 to 40% increases are expected due to catastrophes over the past few years, increased costs of materials and labor, and insurance companies losing out by paying for damage coverage.


With catastrophes increasing in frequency over time, the likelihood of roofs having to be replaced, and its inherent costs, has made insurance premiums grow. From an average Colorado homeowner's annual premium of $926 in 2010, it is presently around $1,200. Experts offer a few ways to reduce the impact, namely by asking current carriers for qualifying discounts and shopping for other providers.



Blue Eagle Roofing & Construction adds to the above by suggesting the replacement of damaged roofs right away. Premiums change due to past storms that caused frequent repairs for many roofs, especially those as old as 7 to 10 years. The company also recommends impact-resistant roofing. Aside from guarding against hail, some insurance companies give discounts as high as 27% for them.


The Colorado Springs roofing group invites homeowners with worn-out roofs to look into installing impact-resistant ones and save on their home insurance premiums. Visit www.BlueEagleRoofing.com to find out more.
