Is It a Bad Idea to Make Insurance Claim?

[Tariq B.]

Hello Everyone,

To make a long story short, I want to make a claim on my primary residence to replace my roof. Deductible is about 2K roof will easily cost 7K without.It’s not leaking just getting old and everyone in the neighborhood is doing theirs. 

I have more insurance policies then I can count on my hands for other properties. My fear is, If I make a claim will this effect my other policies? 

I have always tried to stay clear of making claims for this fear. Is there truth to it or just rumor? 

Thanks!
