According to a story in Crain’s Chicago Business, under a program launched in October 2011, Allstate will pay only the actual cash value of a roof that needs to be replaced if the roof is more than 10 years old. Basically, if a homeowner with Allstate insurance needs a new roof — which very likely includes the majority of the homes recently damaged — they will have to cover the cost above the depreciated value of the roof under the House & Home program.
