Navigating Insurance Claims After the March Hailstorm in Owensboro

CMS Roofing • March 30, 2025

Understanding Insurance Coverage: Replacement Cost Value vs. Actual Cash Value

The March 2025 hailstorm left many property owners in Owensboro, KY, facing significant storm damage to their commercial and residential properties.  At CMS Roofing & Restoration, we understand how overwhelming it can be to navigate insurance claims with companies like State Farm, Allstate, and Kentucky Farm Bureau—common providers in our area. These insurers often offer two main types of coverage: Replacement Cost Value (RCV), which covers the full cost to replace damaged roofs, windows, or gutters, and Actual Cash Value (ACV), which factors in depreciation, leaving you with less. For commercial properties like offices, retail spaces, and warehouses, as well as homes, this distinction can make a big difference.

Common roofing materials in our cities—such as asphalt shingles, metal roofing, and tiles—along with vinyl or aluminum windows and steel or aluminum gutters, may all be impacted differently by hail. Our team at CMS Roofing & Restoration specializes in helping you assess hail damage and work with your insurance provider to maximize your claim. Whether it’s negotiating for RCV coverage or ensuring all damage is documented, we’re here to ease the burden for property owners. Contact us at www.cmsroofing.com to start your storm damage recovery today.

After the March 2025 hailstorm in Owensboro—and with future storms in mind for Bowling Green—many property owners are evaluating better materials for long-term protection. Whether you manage a residential property, office, warehouse, or retail space, choosing impact-resistant products can help you avoid repeated damage. CMS Roofing & Restoration recommends options like fiberglass or impact-resistant asphalt shingles, standing seam metal roofing, triple-pane windows, and heavy-gauge steel gutters.

After the March 2025 hailstorm hit Owensboro, KY, many property owners are wondering about out-of-pocket costs for storm damage claims. For both residential homes and commercial properties—think offices, retail stores, and warehouses—these expenses depend on your insurance policy and the extent of hail damage. Typically, deductibles range from $500 to $2,000, but some policies in Kentucky have percentage-based deductibles (1-2% of property value), which can climb higher for larger commercial buildings. Typical Out-of-Pocket Costs Could Include: Your insurance deductible (usually $500–$2,500) Upgrades beyond what insurance covers Code upgrades (bringing your property up to current building codes)—though not always the responsibility of the property owner, as with the right contractor and insurance coverage, this may be fully covered by the insurance carrier Items excluded from coverage Damage to common materials like asphalt shingles, metal roofs, vinyl windows, and aluminum gutters often requires repair or replacement. If your policy is Actual Cash Value (ACV), depreciation could leave you covering more out-of-pocket costs compared to Replacement Cost Value (RCV), which CMS Roofing & Restoration can help you secure. On average, residential owners might pay $1,000-$5,000, while commercial property claims could exceed $10,000, especially if upgrades are needed.
