How to find and choose a well qualified specialist

As I mentioned before, a nasty hail storm can shorten the life of shingles by a decade or more. With siding, the damage may need even more immediate attention than most roofs. Since insurance claims are the next step after spotting hail damage, it is best if you can identify it before calling out the insurance adjusters. This will give you the ability to challenge the insurance company if it tries to deny your claim. Best yet, and I would advise that to anyone who wants to have an insurance adjuster come and assess the damage is to FIRST call your Qualified Hail Damage Specialist who will assess the damage professionally and accurately and can represent you to the insurance company.

Choose a company that uses only the best in roofing, siding, gutters, window replacements, trim work and energy saving products

They should also use a full line of energy saving materials so you start saving money today.

Choose a company that has years of experience in the construction field.

They should provide quality workmanship and lifetime guaranteed materials.

Their workers should be well trained, honest and professional in not only quality work, but quality negotiations with the insurance company.

They should provide quality craftsmanship, dependability, and professionalism and you should find out from others who have worked with them.

They should thrive on saving you money, whether it be through insurance claim restoration where exteriors are fully restored at no out of pocket expense, or through their full line insulated energy saving products, geared to significantly reduce your energy costs and carbon footprint.

Now if you would like to know if you qualify for insurance coverage, watch my next article on that subject.

    @coldsud17 That’s a great observation, and very important. Yes, in addition to sealing around the pipe collar (to prevent wind driven rain from being forced under the shingles on the slick metal surface of the pipe collar) with Geocel Tripolymer Sealant — I always put a “quarter size” application under old shingles that have been lifted up too.

    Location of the Geocel is about one inch up from the bottom of the tab, right in the center.

    Thanks!

    I don’t know if you showed it but where you had to pop the old shingles up so you could get to the nails holding the ones you removed. did you reseal them with the caulk because usually if it’s an older roof they won’t reseal that well or at all causing a tab blow off.

    Thanks for replying, Johnny.

    I understand the labor cost issues, but I’ve been called to repair pipe collars that have been repaired this way. It seems some roof repair guys don’t pay attention to where the flange integrates with the shingles (especially on the plastic units) and sometimes overlook issues like cracking, cracked shingles, etc.

    Be careful out there; one “callback” would be a lot more expensive and damaging to your reputation than $50 to $100 for labor to replace the whole unit.

    Thanks for the good words, Ponch. Yes, it can be a real hassle trying to find someone that can replace pipe collars on their roof correctly.

    Any ideas how I could fix the pipe collar on an electrical riser without disconnecting the power? The upper portion of the rubber has a BIG hole. I was thinking of cutting a collar at the bottom with tin snips and laying it on top of the old collar. Then maybe laying rubber from another collar under the split and using a tripolymer sealant. A roofer suggested filling the hole with MP-1 sealant. Otherwise we need an electrician.

    If it looks good and it doesn’t leak, it’s been done correctly. Time/labor is too expensive for me to do them this way, but it works! I have learned to peel the rubber boot off the aluminum, cut the o-ring off the bottom, then slid it down over the original cracked leaking boot. I can redo a whole house in under 5 minutes of being on the roof. That really cuts down on our labor costs/adds to the profit. And it still looks good and it doesn’t leak.
