Hail and wind in Allegheny County

Roof claims are what most homeowners here actually end up filing, and roof coverage is where policies differ most. Some pay to replace a damaged roof; others pay its depreciated value, which on an older roof can be a fraction of what a new one costs. A separate, larger wind and hail deductible is common.

Over the last 10 years, Allegheny County recorded 98 hail events of one inch or larger — the size at which hail starts doing damage worth claiming — along with 588 damaging wind events and 12 tornadoes. The largest hail recorded measured 2.00 inches.
