• • Mission tiles: Classic California look, superior weather resistance
• • Cool roof tiles: Reflective materials that reduce energy costs

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

Many Kensington homeowners successfully claim tile roof repairs when damage results from covered perils like storms, fallen trees, or fire. Insurance typically won't cover 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 coverage.

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

Our certified inspectors assess several factors:

• • Age: Tile roofs over 50 years old may need underlayment replacement
• • Extent of damage: Multiple broken tiles may indicate structural issues
• • Underlayment condition: Deteriorated underlayment requires replacement
• • Mortar condition: Cracked ridge mortar and hip tiles
• • Cost comparison: Sometimes replacement is more cost-effective than repeated tile repairs

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