Don’t Wait for Roof Repair on your home. This tip is brief, but important. If you have roof repair needs of any sort, don’t postpone the process of getting estimates & contracting to have the work done.

I say this because virtually every reputable roofing contractor in the area is booked-up for the next several months due to widespread roof damage resulting from recent hail storms. Many homeowners are aware of the immense damage that has occurred, but many are not aware. So, when those who are not aware call to get a reroof or repair estimate and find out it will be several “weeks” just to get an estimate and several months before the work can be completed they are typically quite shocked! The back-logged schedules are just getting lengthier as each week passes & the cost of roofing materials continues to rise (~20% over the past 6 months alone).

So, if you suspect your roof may need any sort of attention within the next year, I strongly suggest you Don’t Wait for Roof Repair estimates.

Do you need a Professional and Honest Roof Inspection?

If you suspect your roof has sustained storm damage, here are some key issues to be aware of:

Unless you are 100% confident that your property has suffered extensive storm related roof damage, we advise having the extent of damage assessed by an honest, qualified, “local” roofing contractor BEFORE you file a claim with your insurance company.
As you might expect, your home owner’s insurance premiums are affected by the total dollar amount of insurable losses you have been reimbursed for over the years. But, your premiums may also be affected by the “frequency” of claims filed. So, if you file a claim, and no damage is found (i.e. you are not paid a dime for the claim), your premiums may still be negatively impacted simply for having filed the claim! So, it’s best not to file a claim until you have good reason to file claim.
