Calculate your roof's depreciated value for insurance claims.
Used by insurance adjusters to determine ACV of your roof.
Your roof loses value every year, and that depreciation directly affects your insurance claim payout. In Corpus Christi’s coastal climate, the real depreciation often outpaces the insurance company’s formula — which can work either for or against you during a claim.
Insurance companies use straight-line depreciation based on expected lifespan. A shingle roof rated for 30 years that’s 10 years old has 33% depreciation. But in Corpus Christi, that same roof may only have 10–15 years of real life left due to salt air and UV exposure — the adjuster’s formula may actually understate depreciation.
Metal roofs depreciate slowest because of their 40–60 year expected life. A 15-year-old standing seam roof still retains 65–75% of its value.
The recoverable depreciation play: With an RCV policy, depreciation is recoverable. Insurance pays ACV first, then reimburses depreciation after you complete the repair and file documentation. We handle all the paperwork for our clients.
Yes. If your adjuster applies a generic depreciation formula that doesn’t reflect your roof’s actual condition, challenge it with professional documentation. A RISE Roofing inspection report showing good condition can support a lower depreciation rate.
In practice, yes. Documentation of regular inspections and timely repairs supports a lower depreciation rate during claims. Keep records of every inspection — our maintenance plans include dated documentation for this purpose.
Enter your roof’s age, material, size, and replacement cost. The calculator estimates depreciation and shows your approximate ACV payout. Use it to understand what insurance might offer before filing.

3-tab shingles: Depreciate fastest. Expected life 15–20 years in coastal conditions. At year 10, you’ve lost 50–67% of value.
Architectural shingles: 20–25 year expected life on the Coastal Bend. Slower depreciation than 3-tab, but salt air still accelerates aging vs inland.
Metal roofing: 40–60 year life means extremely slow depreciation. A 15-year-old metal roof retains 65–75% of value. This is one reason metal roofing is increasingly popular with Corpus Christi insurance-savvy homeowners.
Stone coated steel: Similar depreciation profile to metal. 50-year warranties and proven coastal performance keep values high.
