"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

No, there’s no specific building code that requires a roof overhang. However, installing your roof with the standard 2-inch overhang is good practice, as it helps direct runoff away from your fascia boards and roof decking and into your gutters. Some overhang is especially important in areas that see heavy rainfall and snowfall, as the risk of water getting under the roofing material and causing water damage is much higher.

Cracks in the chimney can be very serious, depending on their location and size. Even small cracks can become serious over time if left unrepaired. Cracks allow heat and moisture to deteriorate your chimney and harmful carbon monoxide gas to seep into your home. Small cracks can often be caulked, while large cracked sections may require full replacement.

Roof underlayment usually lasts as long as the roofing material that covers it, as it’s not directly exposed to the elements. In most cases, roofing companies will replace the underlayment each time they install a new roof. In some cases, particularly with slate, clay, or certain metal roofs that can last 50 to 100 years, your underlayment may require replacement within that timeframe, especially if you start to notice roof leaks.

Fall is generally considered the best time of year for roof repairs. The weather is temperate and typically drier, which makes for safer working conditions and fewer delays. The days are also still long enough to complete the work.

Spring is another good option and is a popular time for repairs to fix damage from winter storms. However, frequent rainfall can slow down progress. Spring may be a less busy season for roofers than fall.

Summer can also work for roof repairs, but extreme heat can make asphalt shingles too soft and difficult to work with.

Eaves will last as long as the roof, often 15 to 30 years or more, depending on the type of roof. Since eaves are part of the roof, their life span will depend on the roof's condition, although they can still be damaged by faulty gutters or pest damage, shortening their longevity.
