Bennett Roofing offers roof replacements and specializes in "Insurance Property Claims". We can help you with the claims process, inspect your roof for storm related damage, show photos of our findings and work with your adjuster. We have been assisting customers for over a decade with their storm related damages. Most customers don't realize they have hail damage until their home starts leaking. Briefly, the hail damages the shingle and underneath is where the problem is created. Underneath your shingles is felt or sometimes called "tar paper". The hail stones make holes in the felt which in turn allows water to enter your home, sometimes years later! The Alabama Department of Insurance allows the Insured 6 years to file a claim after their home is damaged. Some states only allow a year where others give you 2 to 5 years. The Insurance companies sometimes tell customers they have a year or 180 days to file a claim but this isn't correct and can be verified through the Alabama Department of Insurance in Montgomery AL. We have licensed Alabama Insurance adjusters that work as independent contractors to come and inspect your home. Bennett Roofing pays them to do this service at no charge to their customers. We feel that our stellar track record of roof replacements and repairing exterior damage to your home will convince you to use our services, if damage is found and documented. Unlike some contractors, we pay or adjusters to write an all inclusive estimate for your repairs using the same estimating software and technology your insurance company uses, therefore we don't have to write estimate or get in the middle of bidding wars: We Work Strictly for the Proceeds "Your" Insurance company provides. We offer sign allowances to help absorb the deductible that is your responsibility as an insured. We also offer referral bonuses. For over a decade of workmanship, Bennett Roofing has not incurred a single negative comment or feedback! We have expanded our business north to service the Jasper Alabama area! Since the 2011 tornados in Tuscaloosa, we have installed over 700 roofs that were caused by storm damage. If you have already filed a claim, give us a call and we will replace your roof for the insurance proceeds provided with a guaranteed quality roof and workmanship. If you haven't filed a claim, let one of our experts inspect your home for damage. We perform "one job at a time", always have a project manager on site and you NEVER PAY until the job is complete! Bennett Roofing never ask for money up front or when supplies are delivered to your home. We are a debt free, financially strong company. Remember, you have 6 years to file a claim, so it's never too late!

Home Inspection questions, answered by experts

Having a garage installed certainly adds to the value of your home. The consideration is not whether it adds value, but for many, they want to know if adding a garage yields a return on their investment or ROI. While garages can add anywhere from 5% to 20% of the total value of your property, that doesn’t mean that they return 5% to 20% of the money invested in building them. Most homeowners build garages for a purpose but know that you can recover your investment when you sell or refinance.   

While you can waive a home inspection when buying a house as-is, it’s not a good idea. An inspection will identify any current and potential problems with the home and give you a starting point to budget for repairs. An inspection will also alert you to any major problems with the house that may make you not want to proceed with the purchase.

Regularly in areas prone to moisture or high traffic to catch issues early.

Do a little background research on a few certified HVAC companies before choosing the best one for your job. Look for things like how long the company has been in business, and check their online customer reviews.

When choosing an inspector, also ask to see a sample inspection report. A professional inspection report should detail all the areas and components of an HVAC system, provide findings, and include any recommendations for repairs. Finally, find a contractor you’ll feel comfortable with who can address any questions or concerns you may have after the inspection.

A post-drywall inspection could uncover many problems that weren’t present during the pre-drywall inspection, including insufficient insulation, missing weather stripping, improperly installed plumbing and lighting fixtures, flooring damage, drywall damage, plumbing leaks, aesthetic issues, and more. Structural problems, which are often expensive to fix and are common reasons to walk away after a home inspection, are easier to see before the drywall goes up, but a post-drywall inspection may highlight minor issues with house settling and foundation problems.
