Time is of the Essence in Determining your Roof’s Condition
Because most homeowners are not comfortable inspecting their own roof and because the damage is not easily observable from the ground, homeowners often wait far too long before having their roof inspected. In many circumstances the first inspection does not occur until the homeowner observes watermarks or some other type of internal damage. This can result in more serious and costly long term problems such as wood rot, mold and interior damage. This may cause some insurance companies to view this as neglect of routine maintenance, instead of “an Act of God.” The end result is that the homeowner becomes responsible for these repairs.

Slate Roof Repair Plans
Many homeowners purchase annual repair plans or maintenance programs which only repair visible problems. But what you see might indicate hidden problems that lead to much larger repairs.
We always recommend a thorough inspection to assure there all the damage is uncovered so a complete report can be provided to your insurance provider.
