Hi. My name is Ken and I'm from RoofTwins.com. We got a call from an
Alexandria homeowner requesting an estimate for roof repair and a siding
repair. But after inspecting all to siding and the roofing, we found that
there were many issues such as there was no moisture barrier, no Tyvek
installed to the wood surface and the siding, instead of being fastened
every 16 to 24 inches into the wood studs, they fastened the siding every 4
to 6 feet and that's the reason why this siding blew off.
Now, with the roof, the reason why they had so many shingles blown off
throughout the entire front side of the house is because the roofing
contractors nailed their shingles way too high and if you nail too high your
allowing the wind to get underneath the shingles and then would blow the
shingles off. So now, the homeowner was hoping that the insurance company
would cover this because of storm related damage but the insurance company
will not cover this because it's due to improper installation.
So now the homeowner instead of them thinking that they weren't going to
have to pay anything except for the deductible for either a siding repair
or a roof repair to the Alexandria home, now they have to pay to have all
the siding completely taken off on the right side of the right side of the house
so that the Tyvek moisture barrier can be installed. And the entire roof
at the front side of the house has to be stripped off to the bare wood and
done completely over new. Because if we only replace the shingles that have
been blown off, the rest of the roof will start having problems with blown
off shingles in many other areas because they were all nailed high. So
everything has to be done new.
