My home inspector said to call a roofer. Is that you?

Yes. Hyperion is the licensed-roofer visit that report is asking for. It is not a home inspection.

Can a roof older than 10 years stop the buyer from getting a policy?

Often yes. Underwriters rarely bind a new policy on a roof older than about 10 years, and a denied or partial claim makes that worse.

Should storm damage be handled before closing?

Yes. Document the loss and get a replacement contract while the seller’s policy is still alive.

Is an old roof an insurance claim?

Age alone is a credit or a price cut, not a claim. A documented storm loss on the seller’s policy is the claim path.

When should a realtor call Hyperion?

When the inspection flags the roof, when the buyer’s insurer will not bind, or when a storm loss is still on the seller’s policy. Partners can be issued a discount code.

The roof, the sale, and the next policy

Underwriters often will not bind a new policy on a roof older than about 10 years.

A denied or partially paid claim makes that worse. A buyer can close and then find they cannot insure the house.

A covered storm loss still sat on the seller’s policy during the seller’s coverage period. After closing, that path needs a seller willing to open a claim on a house they already left.

Do the documented loss and the replacement contract before closing. Age-only, with no storm event, is a credit or a price cut — not a claim.
