Sudden or accidental events, like severe weather and natural disasters, that cause critical damage to your roof are typically covered by homeowners’ insurance. If you’re unsure if your roof replacement is covered, contact your insurer or review your individual policy.
Thriving in moist, poorly ventilated environments, rot-causing bacteria and fungi slowly break down porous roofing materials, especially wood. As the rot spreads, your roof’s structural integrity is compromised, creating a severe safety hazard.
Minor water damage can be repaired. But if it’s gone undetected for too long (it happens a lot) the damage may be more invasive than it appears. If that’s the case, a complete replacement will reinstate your home’s structural integrity and keep you safe.
Even a few missing shingles can render your entire roofing system ineffective. Water can enter your home through even the tiniest hole, leading to mold and water damage. Individual shingles can be replaced, but a complete replacement is needed when the problem is allowed to linger.
Small but mighty, granules protect shingles against premature degradation from UV rays and are integral to your home’s aesthetic. Excessive granular loss leaves your roofing system vulnerable to damage and, frankly, ends up looking terrible.
