    I'm inspecting my roof here in MN, and wondering if someone who know about hail damage can give me an idea whether this is worth a claim? Chance of insurance company replacing? Or else is this just normal wear & tear on a roof. It's about 20 years old. thanks

    My house is a new build and the lifting straps in the rafters wore holes in my roof. Is it common practice to leave the roof in this condition or should it be repaired? The roofers just put tar paper and shingles over the holes. Please advise me on what action should be taken. Thanks for your help.

    This is found on the roof of an investment property that I'm looking to purchase. The damage near the front has been there for at least 1-2 months, minimum.

    I found this site, by doing a Google search for DIY home repair. Back in September 2010, we were hit by a hail storm that damaged our home. I live in a mobile home, that I own. I have vinyl siding, and one side of my home was severely damaged. It looks like someone took a baseball bat to it...
  8. Roofing/Siding
    Our house is located on a wooded site, surrounded by numerous mature deciduous and coniferous trees. In the fall, our roof (composite shingles) and gardens get covered, up to a foot in places, with pine needles and oak and maple leaves. If we really wanted to keep the place clear, we would need...
