Roof Check!

Roof Check!

April 06, 2017

When was the last time you had your roof checked? If you are like most.....probably never. Even when you know your roof is getting old and maybe some tiles are missing you just hope and pray that it will be okay and you do everything possible to not think about it. I get it.... roofs are expensive, and what if you find you need a new one...how are you going to afford that? Deep breath....

Your roof needs some love. Remember it is your roof that protects the rest of your home from the rain, hail, even branches falling during a hurricane, not to mention the punishing South Florida sun. We all have our air conditioners serviced once per year and most of us have a pest control service come by quarterly to keep the termites away, but we continue to neglect the single most important aspect of our home. My house is 4 years old and I just had my annual roof inspection by a local roofing company. They found 3 broken tiles that if left unattended would have eventually lead to a leak. Most (not all) insurance policies will provide coverage for that event and will pay to repair the damage in your home but NOT the broken tiles on the roof. Keep in mind too that you probably have a $2,500 deductible, so will you even file a claim...probably not. I paid $125 to have my roof inspected, the 3 tiles repaired AND they cleaned my gutters....cool! Make an annual roof inspection part of what you do on a regular basis to avoid any costly repairs down the line.

Don't gamble with your roof! Order your annual roof inspection today and get peace of mind.
