Some cities, including Chicago, already have ordinances that require light-colored roofs. Many cities are beginning to pay rebates for “green” white roofs.

But TWIA, which insures 229,000 policyholders who can’t find coverage in the private market, doesn’t consider loose shingles damaged. It also argues that in order to have valid claims, policyholders must prove their shingles were sealed before Ike. To protect yourself, part of the maintenance of your home, which is a large asset, should include current pictures of your exterior and interior. Annual pictures can help give valid your claim after a catastrophe. Posted in Residential Roofing | No Comments » |
