"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

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.

You shouldn’t put a new roof underlayment over an old one for a few reasons. Old felt must be removed in order to assess the condition of your roof decking, such as rotting wood or other structural issues. Also, if your roofer doesn't install a fresh layer of felt as is required by shingle manufacturers, your warranty may be voided. Finally, old underlayment removal is often included in the cost of roof repair or replacement, so there's no real benefit to leaving it on before installing a new layer.

Whether you should replace your roof if it is not leaking depends on the specific problem. Just because your roof isn’t leaking doesn’t mean there’s no damage or wood rot. Roof leaks can take a while to spot—and the damage could be extensive by the time you realize your roof is leaking. 

Even if you don’t see a leak, you should have a roofing pro perform an inspection on your roof at least once a year. A pro can spot damage you might miss. They can recommend whether you should consider roof replacement.

Roof blistering and hail damage are different in their physical appearance. Blistering, often caused by inadequate ventilation, low-quality material, and improper installation, looks like large, irregular bubbles popping out of your roof. Meanwhile, hail damage is usually circular or oval dents entering your roof and often follows the same path as the hail storm.

Yes, because it prevents water damage, deters pests from accessing the roof decking, protects the roof from wind damage, and lengthens the roof's life. Plus, building codes require it.
