Heritage-specific notes

Heritage often dispatches independent adjusters with EagleView or similar aerial measurement reports — Matata's drone photos should match or correct these measurements.
Heritage frequently issues partial-pay scopes; supplements citing the Florida matching statute (626.9744) routinely succeed.
Heritage settlements may be ACV-only on roofs older than 20 years depending on policy endorsement.

FAQ

What if Heritage offers ACV only?

If your roof is under 25 years and your policy is HO-3 form, Florida law typically requires RCV settlement for covered perils. Matata reviews your declarations page free and helps with appropriate supplements.

Does Heritage have a preferred contractor list?

Heritage may suggest preferred contractors but you have the right to choose your own licensed Florida roofer. Matata (CCC1337212) is accepted by every Florida carrier.

Will filing this claim raise my premium?

Florida law restricts non-renewal solely for filing a claim, but multiple claims within 3 years or a roof older than 25 years can affect renewal pricing. Matata's free pre-claim drone inspection helps you decide whether to file.

Do I need to pay my deductible up front?

Yes — Florida law prohibits contractors from waiving or rebating insurance deductibles. Matata never asks you to commit fraud by inflating a quote to absorb the deductible.
