"We have found their customer service to always be helpful however we have had a lot of problems with the components that they send out for home owners to install themselves. We have had trouble keeping those things in place you know if the door heats or cools too much the adhesive on the door monitor will fall off.  We have had a number of false alarms with the front door system, they waived one for us when I was able to demonstrate that their call had not reached my phone although their records said that they had called and I believe that they did but my records show that I never received the call which was also true so they agree to waive it but we have paid for one false alarm where the Seattle police have come out and we've had numerous other false alarms, mostly related to a motion detector in our living room so were kind of living in an ambivalent situation at some point right now where basically when you buy that package and install everything you commit to like a two, you know its like having a cell phone you commit to a multi year contract. We have at few times to get action out of them that we needed we have threatened to leave and threatened  to really push the issue, we haven't done that yet. Another thing is we had enough issues with component install at the back door of our house does not have a door open detector on it it just simply wouldn't work for us so the house is only partially protected. I wouldn't recommend Frontpoint to anyone right now I think there a lot of bugs that aren't well worked out. It hasn't lived up to it's so-called A reputation."

Chimney Inspection questions, answered by experts

Getting a roof inspection once per year will uncover damages to your tile roof that indicate a replacement or repair is necessary. You can also look for cracked, damaged, or missing tiles from the ground once or twice yearly and after major storms to see if you need to schedule one-off repairs.

An improper DIY roof cleaning could cause leaks by damaging the roofing material. Things like using too much water pressure on the shingles or applying a harsh cleaning solution could cause damage. If you do enough damage, you could harm the ability of the shingles or other roof materials to keep water out of your home.

In most cases, a roof inspection will include a visual inspection of the exterior roofing materials, an interior inspection for signs of leaking or roof damage, and an assessment of the structural stability of your roof and the materials supporting it. Some things your roof inspector will look for include the following:

  • Missing or damaged shingles, flashing, or sealant

  • Signs of old age

  • Signs of leaks, including mold growth and water stains

  • Potential issues, like tree branches touching your roof

  • Signs of a loss of structural integrity

Yes, installing snow guards is highly recommended for metal roofs, especially if you live in an area with moderate to heavy snowfall. Metal roofs have smooth, slick surfaces that offer little traction, which can cause large, heavy loads of snow and ice to slide off all at once in a dangerous "rooftop avalanche."

This sudden release of snow can cause serious injury to anyone below and damage personal property, such as cars or landscaping.

Snow guards act as a barrier, holding the snow on the roof so it can melt and slide off in smaller, more controlled amounts. While low-slope metal roofs in areas with very little snow might not strictly require them, installing snow guards is a valuable safety measure to protect your family and property.

Insurance might cover a 30-year-old roof, but it’s fairly rare. Most companies don’t offer coverage for roofs older than 20 years, but certain robust plans will handle it. However, even if the plan offers coverage for an aged roof, it could be diminished. Many plans only cover the original cost or the actual cash value (ACV) of the roof once enough time has passed. ACV is based on the roof's age and condition at the time of repairs.
