Will my homeowner's insurance cover clay tile roof repairs in Kensington?

Many Kensington homeowners successfully claim clay tile roof repairs when damage results from covered perils like storms, hail, or fire. Insurance typically won't cover damage from normal wear and tear. We assist with clay tile damage documentation, work directly with adjusters, and help you navigate the claims process to maximize your coverage.

How do I know if I need clay tile repairs or a full replacement?

Our certified clay tile inspectors assess several factors:

• • Age: Clay tile roofs over 50 years old may need replacement
• • Extent of damage: Multiple cracked tiles may indicate underlayment issues
• • Underlayment condition: Failed underlayment requires full replacement
