Tile roof repairs are more complex than asphalt as there are more layers and components to a batten system. We always recommend an "edge-to-edge" removal of existing tile so the source of the leak can be properly identified and corrected.

Almost always we find the issue is "direct-to-deck" batten systems. These are allowed by code, so builders typically cut costs by eliminating the "raised" portion of the system. This leads to pooling and damming of water under the tiles, which will always eventually lead to a leak.

By rebuilding the system with better methods and components, we can correct builder grade issues.

Feeling sorry for all of the agents out there affected by this move, especially the ones who built their careers on the belief that they would be taken care of in turn.

How this will affect policy holders remains to be seen. We will share helpful information as we learn about the implications.

Many State Farm agents said they feel angry and betrayed by the Bloomington-based company.

INSURANCE POLICY CHECKUP:

Summer Storms are upon us! Do you know what your wind/hail deductible is?

We recommend double checking your policy as carriers have been quietly changing policies from flat rate deductible to % deductibles, based on the value of your home.

This means you could be expecting to pay $1000-$2500 but will be stuck with an out-of-pocket expense of tens of thousands of dollars!!!

Check your policies before it's too late!!!

Got another repair going on in a neighborhood we’ve been working in for several years. The home builder has made numerous installation issues and refuses to fix them, so we are going house by house and fixing everything up for folks. Attention to detail does matter. 👍🏻

Concrete tile roofs, often billed as "high-end" roofs, hide a dark secret. Because of the open-air nature of batten roof systems, large amounts of highly flammable plant material collect in the most susceptible parts of the roof. Unfortunately, even with routine maintenance, this material can build up without being seen.

By replacing the felt paper and "direct-to-deck" batten systems with Class-A fire rated materials, or even changing to a different roofing system all together, home owners can make significant strides to better protect their homes.

We still have a dream...may we see the best in each other, especially in these times. Let us remember that our differences are much smaller than our similarities. May we come together as a nation this day and every day.

"Cutting Corners" example #127...who needs flashing anyway???

The previous installer may have saved a couple hundred dollars by omitting proper flashing, but now the homeowner is thousands deep in repairs due to water damage.

Pro Tip: Don't pay for a job twice when you can pay a little more one time and have it done right!
