Is Your Roof Breaking Compliance with Your Insurance Policy?
We often silo roof cleaning under the “curb appeal” maintenance plan. But it’s also an important tool to protect your insurance coverage.
What You Need to Know
Most homeowner’s insurance providers include a stipulation in their policy – and it’s focused on your roof. When insurers send an inspector to your property, they examine the condition of your roofing. If they see shingles covered in mold and stains, they report back to your provider.
Repercussions include:
- Costly Fines Some companies impose a hefty fine if their inspection finds that your roof has been poorly maintained. It’s an unnecessary expense and highlights the fact that your roof is in trouble.
- Compromised coverage Many insurance providers give a formal warning if they find that your roof isn’t poorly maintained. Without prompt action, you could face a penalty or cancellation.
- Cancellation of coverage In rare cases, insurance providers won’t give you a warning. They’ll simply cancel your insurance policy.
