Storm damage repair is often covered by home insurance policies, but not always — and coverage depends on the specific terms of your policy and the cause of the damage. Most standard homeowners insurance policies cover damage from wind, hail, lightning, and fallen trees, which are common during storms. This usually includes repairs to your roof, siding, windows, and interior damage resulting from storm-related leaks.
However, flood damage is typically not covered by standard homeowners insurance. If storm damage results from rising water or flash flooding, you’ll need a separate flood insurance policy (usually obtained through the National Flood Insurance Program or a private insurer).
Some policies may also exclude coverage for hurricane or windstorm damage, especially in high-risk areas. In such cases, homeowners may need to purchase additional windstorm or hurricane endorsements.
To know for sure, it’s important to review your policy carefully or speak with your insurance agent. Ask about deductibles, exclusions, and whether temporary housing or cleanup services are included.
In summary: Not all storm damage is covered by all insurance agencies. Coverage varies, so homeowners should understand their policy and consider extra protection if they live in storm-prone areas.

The reason the appliance is not covered is because "appliance malfunction" isn't a covered peril.

It depends on how the foundation was damaged and whether or not it was done by a covered cause or not.

Your question can be read in a couple of ways. 1. If an occurrence covered by a homeowners policy caused damage to the roof, it probably would be covered. If the occurrence that caused the damage was a type of occurrence covered by the policy, the damage would likely be covered. 2. Conversely, if the roof leaked just because it was old, insurance would not cover repair or replacement because insurance does not cover ordinary wear and tear. 3. If what you mean is whether a new roof (rather than an existing roof) is covered, the rule stated in #1 would apply.

Can an insurance company dictate who does the repair work in your condo?
It depends. If, for example, extensive damage occurs because of a covered natural disaster -- an earthquake -- and the board and the insurance company agree that the insurance company's vendor will complete the repair work inside units on assets covered by the master policy, then the insurance company's vendor may complete the work. If, however, you prefer a different vendor, it's possible that you could negotiate with the board and pay the difference between what the insurance company's vendor would charge and what your vendor would charge to repair assets inside your unit that you want your own vendor to repair.
