[HOUSTON, 12/19/2017] -- The recent hurricanes that hit the US have resulted in as much as $30 billion in damage to homes, the New York Times reported. Unfortunately, even GreatFence.com knows insurance can only cover 40% of that damage, most of which the federal government will shoulder.

Homeowners Insurance Policies

According to Allstate, a personal lines property and casualty insurance in the US, wind-related damage to a fence caused by storms or tornadoes, fallen trees, and other things can be covered by homeowners insurance.

However, some companies argue that one must also consider how much damage the fence suffered. They explained that a coverage of at least 10% would be capped even if the applicant qualifies for an insurance claim. In other words, the homeowner's insurance can only cover the damage up to the claimant's coverage limit.

Aluminum as a Fencing Material

GreatFence.com, a Houston-based nationwide supplier of aluminum enclosures, offers commercial and residential aluminum fences. Abundant and naturally occurring, aluminum is a standard structural component not only in architecture but also in aircraft, automobiles, and other means of transportation. This is due to its durable properties that resist corrosion and weather.

"Aluminum is lightweight and doesn't rust or become brittle when exposed to extremely low or high temperatures. More durable than steel or wrought iron, we believe that it's the ideal element for weathering resistance," says GreatFence.com.
