Q: Do roof inspection companies need to be licensed?

• <div><p>Roof inspection companies sometimes need to be licensed, but it depends on the state and local municipality where you live. You can contact your local building department to see if licensing is required and use Angi&rsquo;s <a href="https://www.angi.com/angi-license-check.htm">contractor license lookup tool</a> to confirm that the company holds the proper licensing. It&rsquo;s also a good idea to hire a roof inspection company certified by the National Roof Certification and Inspection Association (NRCIA), as this helps ensure you&rsquo;re getting a professional and reliable inspection from a company that is recertified annually.</p></div>

Q: Does homeowners insurance cover chimney leaks, repairs, or replacement?

• <div><p>Homeowners insurance may cover chimney leaks, repairs, or replacement, but coverage depends on the cause of the damage. If the chimney is damaged by a sudden, covered peril like a lightning strike, storm, hail, fallen tree, or an unexpected fire, your policy is likely to cover the costs. However, insurance generally does not cover damage resulting from normal wear and tear, old age, or a lack of proper maintenance, such as failing to perform regular cleanings and inspections. If a fire or other damage is caused by a known issue you didn't address, the claim may be denied. Additionally, some policies may have specific exclusions for events like high winds or earthquakes.</p></div>
