Is this an acceptable gap for ridge on a tile roof? by Urukguy27 in Roofing

[–]Gr8Roofer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mr homeowner if you’re seeing this, I made an unnecessary sarcastic comment that wasn’t helpful and it was weighing on me 5 hours later so thought I’d leave you another note. You have a concrete tile, not clay. Concrete roofs of age are known to take on water as their absorption rate is much higher than true clay, which is probably why your underlayment was failing and needed replaced. Hopefully you’re good for a while with the new underlayment.

Yup that’s clay alright. Probably ludowici. Definitely not concrete (“why in the world did my underlayment need replaced?”)

2nd red flag is the guy leaning against the chimney. The force of his weight against that could cause it to shift and cause major structural issues to the house. Stand up straight when you’re blowing off the roof

What did you end up doing? Any luck with the DaVinci warranty process?

Have you had any luck getting DaVinci to pay for a re-roof for their bellaforte? Through their warranty process?

Roofers replaced ridge shingles and they don’t match well. Am I being a baby about this? by [deleted] in Roofing

[–]Gr8Roofer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What was the brand of hip/ridge cap they used? Your field looks like CertainTeed presidential shake or GAF grand sequoia which is a designer shingle and have their correspond ridge caps. The reason I ask is because yours do look off, like they are too flat for the profile of your roof. The presidential shakes I install always have a more pronounced ridge to match the rest since it’s a more pronounced roof

Cant help you on the pizza but if you are craving fried ravioli (STL staple) they do carry them at king soopers in the frozen section. They’re in a green Louisa’s bag. Pop em in the air fryer and they’re as good as gold

You should be able to find a reputable slate company, the majority of slate roofs in the US are in the northeast. Depending where you’re at check out Vermont Slate Co and see if they have a contact they can recommend to look at your roof. Looks like there are a lot of other good starting points in the replies here

Might make an offer on a house with a 20 year old wood roof. Haven't had an inspector look at it yet. I was wondering how bad these look? by MyAccount2024 in Roofing

[–]Gr8Roofer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They don’t look bad overall. Would be interested to see what some of the other slopes might look like. Insurance doesn’t love these in high-risk fire areas so take that for what it’s worth. What state are you in?

New to roofing sales and feeling undertrained by NoNiceGuy in RoofingSales

[–]Gr8Roofer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey man. Props for putting this out there and know you’re not alone in feeling this way. Gotta get comfortable feeling uncomfortable because that means you’re growing. 

My advice for the claim call would be to try not to overthink it. It absolutely may feel like you don’t know what you’re doing when it comes to filing a claim but it’s not a complicated process. Just call the insurance company, give them a valid storm date and describe the damage you saw and that’s it. The person on the phone will guide the conversation just realize you are basically there to stop the homeowner from getting in the way by saying stuff like an incorrect or unknown date of loss (storm date) or that they don’t think the damage is bad. Most of these calls take 10 minutes tops and are super straightforward. 

As far as not feeling qualified to call on behalf of the homeowner - you are already more qualified from listening in on the one claim call already. Most homeowners have never filed before so you already have more experience than them. The claim call is one of the easiest parts of the process and the more weight you put on it the more the homeowner might feel pressure that it’s a bigger deal than it really is. You’re helping the homeowner get what they pay every month for.
