Common questions
Restore or replace: how do I decide?
If the structure and most tiles or sheets are sound, restoration at $2,500 to $6,000 buys 10 to 15 more years. Replace when there is widespread rust, sagging or repeated leaks.
Will insurance cover my roof repair?
Storm and impact damage is generally covered; wear and tear is not. Document damage immediately after the event and get the insurer's assessor in before permanent repairs.
