Roofing Terms

Strip shingles made with fiberglass mat and asphalt that are laminated or textured to create a three-dimensional effect, also called laminated shingles.

Shingles

The composition shingle is the most widely-used roofing material in America and is commonly known as an asphalt shingle. Asphalt shingles have a fiberglass core and are impregnated with asphalt and then coated with mineral granules to add color and texture.

Hail Damage

During the course of an average year, hail causes more than $1.6 billion worth of damage to residential roofs in the United States. Hailstorms are most frequent in the Southern and Central Plains states where warm, moist air off of the Gulf of Mexico and cold, dry air from Canada collide. The combination of the two different air masses spawn violent thunderstorms.

Insurance

Whenever you buy insurance for your home, make sure you have a coverage policy for the loss of use clause in addition to dwelling coverage. If your home is damaged and becomes uninhabitable, you will have to shell out additional living expenses that should be covered. In addition, you will need to decide if your contents or personal property will be covered, as this is not a standard coverage. This means your clothes, furniture, jewelry and electronics are not covered unless your home insurance policy specifically states so.
