What shingle materials work best in Kensington's climate?

Given Kensington's hillside location with strong winds and Bay Area weather, we recommend:

• • Architectural shingles: Enhanced wind resistance, dimensional appearance, excellent durability
• • Impact resistant shingles: Superior protection against hail and debris damage
• • Algae resistant shingles: Prevents discoloration in Bay Area's humid conditions
• • Wind resistant shingles: Specially designed for Kensington's hillside wind patterns

Will my homeowner's insurance cover shingle repairs in Kensington?

Many Kensington homeowners successfully claim shingle repairs when damage results from covered perils like storms, fallen trees, hail, or wind damage. Insurance typically won't cover shingle damage from lack of maintenance or normal wear and tear. We assist with documentation, work directly with adjusters, and help you navigate the claims process to maximize your shingle repair coverage.

How do I know if I need shingle repairs or full shingle replacement?

Our certified shingle inspectors assess several factors:

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

We provide honest recommendations based on your shingle condition and your budget.
