Roof
The big joke in Texas is that if you need a new roof, just wait until the next hail storm. Hail does damage, but
usually minimally. What some folks do is accept their insurance company’s money but don’t replace the roof.
When you sell your house the payment will show up on insurance records and you will be required to replace
the roof at the last minute and sometimes this can ruin a deal because the buyers are feeling that you may be
hiding something else as well. It’s best to take care of the roof immediately.
Check the roof regularly after heavy storms. Look for loose shingles, flashing, gutter damages, etc. Repair as
needed. Roofs older than 15 years are often seen as a liability in a buyer’s eyes and some insurance companies
have age restrictions on roofs as low as 10 years. When replacing, weigh the costs of several contractors, the
most cost effective materials, length of time in business and references.
