Do chimney caps keep rain and snow out?

• <div><p>Chimney caps have a solid top but perforated sides so smoke can exit safely. If rain or snow falls downward, chimney caps can protect the chimney’s interior. Just note that if rain or snow blows in sideways, there’s a higher likelihood it will enter the chimney—but it's not often a cause for concern as long as you have a cap. </p></div>

Q: Does homeowners insurance cover roof repairs?

• <div><p>Homeowners insurance covers roof repairs due to sudden or accidental damage. This can include roof damage caused by fire, hail, wind, or falling trees. However, it likely won't cover any repairs related to lack of maintenance or regular wear and tear. </p></div>

Q: What happens if a roof is not vented?

• <div><p>If a roof is not vented, trapped air and moisture have nowhere to go and will cause moisture to build up in the attic. When moisture builds up, it can cause mold and mildew, leaks, and rot. It will make the space hot and stuffy, which can result in higher energy bills as the HVAC system works overtime to regulate the temperature.</p></div>

Q: How much wind does it take to damage a roof?

• <div><p>Unfortunately, there&rsquo;s no definitive answer to this question, but the wind rating of your shingles will give you a good idea of what wind speeds can damage your roof. If you&rsquo;re concerned about damage, inspect your roof following windy conditions to look for signs of wind damage to your shingles. When in doubt, consider hiring a professional <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/who-fixes-roofs.htm">who fixes roofs</a> to carry out an expert inspection. Remember that hurricanes, tropical storms, and tornadoes are likely to cause the most damage, but even severe thunderstorms can bring winds that compromise your roofing system.</p></div>

Q: Is snow damage to the roof covered by insurance?

• <div><p>In many cases, yes, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/file-insurance-claim-storm-roof-damage.htm">homeowners insurance covers roof damage</a> caused by snow. For example, if your roof collapses in a snowstorm or an ice dam leads to a leak in your ceiling, your policy should cover the cost of repairs. However, to get your claim approved, your roof must be well-maintained and in good condition overall, aside from the recent snow-related damage. </p></div>

I am not normally one for in-depth reviews, however my hope is that sharing my experience can help prevent someone from making the same mistakes that I did. I encourage you to be diligent and ask a lot of questions. Do not make assumptions. The process began normally, Kelly with Perfect Roof...

I believe that their objective is to use scare tactics in an attempt to take advantage of people and pressure them into spending HUGE amounts of money necessarily. I have a 10' wide, 30+ foot tall, solid rock masonry chimney (as in it is constructed of solid rock). It is also lined with a clay...

This was not a good experience. The "$50 house call" advertised on the website, I found out only after the technician had arrived, applies only to a simple "get this snake out of my kitchen" call. The charge for setting & baiting two live traps for a 5-day period was an outrageous $200 (one...
