Many insurance companies will not insure a home with a roof over 20 years old. Also, they can deny claims if your roof is over 20 years old, unless you have a certificate of a warranty longer than 20 yesrs. Many new roofs have longer warranties so make sure you know what you have.

Most issues with roofs are caused by roofs that have had chimney work done, new pipes through the roof added for furnace venting, solar panels, skylights, or additions. If your roof is in bad shape and has leaks all over the place, it may be time to get a new roof. Damage to roofs can occur from severe wind storms, hail, and other activities that can shorten the life of your roof. But, if your roof is not that old, say 10-15 years old, you may only have a few spoits that need repair.

If your leaks are near the chimney, you may be better off having a chimney repair company repair the flashing around your chimney or the issues may be water coming in the top of your chimney. If your chimney is not maintained, these issues are very common. Please visit our Chimney Cleaning and Repair section for more information.
