Many Kensington homeowners successfully claim roof leak repairs when damage results from covered perils like storms, fallen trees, or fire.

We assist with documentation, work directly with adjusters, and help you navigate the claims process to maximize your coverage.

How do I know if I need roof leak repair or a full replacement?

Our certified inspectors assess several factors:

• • Age: Roofs over 20 years old often need replacement
• • Extent of damage: Multiple leak areas may indicate replacement
• • Missing granules: Widespread granule loss means shingles are deteriorating
• • Curling/buckling: Advanced aging requiring replacement
• • Cost comparison: Sometimes replacement is more cost-effective than repeated leak repairs

We provide honest recommendations based on your roof's condition and your budget.
