Insurance companies grant money to correct issues from claims. If a person receives money to replace a roof from an insurance company, the money should be used for the repair. If a person decides to not use the money to replace the roof, there could be issues selling the home. The value of the home could decrease. Another issue a person may encounter is the risk of other damages resulting from the roof not being repaired. The insurance company may not cover damages to the home as a result of the roof not being replaced.

Can I keep the insurance money for my roof repairs?
Whether you can keep the insurance money for your roof repairs depends on your policy and the specific circumstances. It's important to review your policy and consult with your insurance company to understand the terms and conditions regarding the use of the funds for repairs.
Do you have to replace roof with the insurance check or can you pay other bills?
I work for an insurance repair company, and yes - if the insurance company has paid you directly for the roof repairs, you can certainly use the money any way you wish. However, if your roof leaks in the future, and say something horrible happens - like your ceiling falls in - the insurance can deny covering any of those damages based on the fact that they paid you to get the roof fixed - which you never did. You could end up with more roof damages than you have now, as well as damages to the inside of your home, which would also be denied.
What happens if I don't use my insurance money to fix my roof?

If it is in writing that the buyer of your home agreed to pay to have the roof repaired or replaced, and the buyer knows you have received an insurance check for the roof, and if the insurance check is made payable to you, then yes, you can legally keep the money without paying for the new roof.
If insurance company sends a check for roof replacement and one get it 'fixed' does he has to send the money back to insurance company?
Most policies will pay for roof damage on an "Actual cash value" basis until the roof is replaced. Then, IF you have replacement cost coverage they will make up the difference of the amount paid under actual cash value and actual replacement cost, LESS the amount of your deductible. If you elect not to repair or replace the roof, your insurance company could exclude your roof from further damage or additional payments until you show the monies paid to you were used to repair or replace as indicated by their estimate and claim payment. Otherwise, the money is yours unless the home is mortgaged. If it is mortgaged, the check should have been made to you and the mortgagee, and if the mortgagee endorses it it is yours.

Can your insurance company make you replace your roof?
No. But as the insured (that is you) it is up to you to maintain your house in good repair.Insurance is there to cover the risk of unforeseen, accidental damage to your property not to replace parts that are wearing out naturally.If you fail to maintain the roof of your property in good repair the insurance company may refuse to pay out if your roof blows off. After all the damage would not be accidental if it happens because of poor maintenance.
