Re-roofing Baton Rouge

Re-Roofing Baton Rouge | Ryson Roofing

Re-roofing Baton Rouge one roof at a time. Yes, if you live in Baton Rouge or the surrounding areas and you watch TV or listen to the radio, then you have heard of Ryson Roofing. We are actively promoting our brand and for good reasons. We know that although roofing material manufacturers boast these long warranties, such as life time warranty or 50 year warranty. The roof will almost always need to be replaced before the manufacturers warranty recommends. WHY? Well because in our region, roofs take a real beating. From the HOT sun, to the pouring rain, the roofs here in Louisiana have to put up against a lot of volatile weather including hurricanes, wind and hail. So although in theory your roof should last 30 years, chances are your roof will see enough storm damage in a 15 year period to require complete re-roofing. 

Its A Numbers Game

Insurance companies are very smart. They know the probability of just about any unforeseen event happening. That is why if you are a female under the age of 25 your auto insurance will be double that of a female 40 years of age. The insurance company knows that the younger female has a higher probability of filing a claim. Likewise, homeowners pay their home owners insurance and the probability of you needing a new roof is already calculated in the premiums and deductible you will pay. So if your roof is damaged, re-roof it!! You are already paying for the cost. In addition, if a storm does come through your area and you see your neighbors getting new roofs and you fail to file a claim, you will be paying for a new roof through an increase in insurance anyway. So it makes sense to file your claim and get a complete re-roof. 

Free Roofing Inspection

Ryson Roofing offers a free roof inspection to help you the homeowner identify if you have any damage that you may be unaware of. The free roof inspection is painless and cost zero dollars. It makes sense to take advantage of the free roof inspection and allow our trained roof inspectors the opportunity to inspect your roof. If damage is found, we will meet with your insurance adjuster to show them the damage we located. Call us today. you will be glad you did.

Who Pays The Insurance Deductible?

Baton Rouge Roof Replacement | Ryson Roofing

With most insurance claims, its pretty clear who is responsible to pay the insurance company's deductible. If you are in a car accident you know you will pay the insurance deductible and the insurance company will pay anything needed to recover your vehicle above and beyond your deductible. Deductibles are in place to prevent filing claims that are small loss. For example you would not file an insurance claim if you had a cracked windshield and a $500 deductible. This deductible in this case is in place to hold the policy holder responsible for losses up to the dollar value of the deductible. In addition deductibles keep people from filing fraudulent claims. Your deductible also is a well calculated number that more than likely saves you on premium dollars. Your deductible basically states that up to a certain dollar amount you are financially capable of accepting a loss and beyond that dollar amount your insurance company will accept the loss. 

Roof Insurance Claims | Hail Storm Roof Replacement

Often times people look for a way out of paying their deductible when it applies to a roofing claim. This practice is unfair to your insurance company. Your deductible played a role in determining what your premium would cost. So if you find a roofer to install a roof less than what the insurance company is willing to pay, then guess what, you still pay the exact same deductible and the insurance company pays less for the claim. Otherwise, you have to pretend or lie when you submit the final invoice to the insurance company for the full amount. This practice is deceptive and anyone willing to lie is not someone I would trust with my roof. People, pay your deductibles and appreciate a good company that is willing to do the work and wait on the insurance company money.

Roof Restoration or Roof Replacement

Baton Rouge Roof Restoration | Ryson Roofing

In the roofing industry it is common to hear the word restoration. There are many companies that manufacture products designed to be applied over your existing roofing materials. This process usually applies to commercial roofing to include but not limited to; PVC, TPO, EPDM, MOD-BIT, built-up, and even some SPF roofing systems. But you can never apply this type of product onto a shingle roof. When it comes to roof restoration with shingle roofing a complete roof replacement is usually needed. 

Roof Replacement for Shingle Roofs

When dealing with shingle roofing material, you can not apply anything over the existing shingles in an attempt to restore the shingles. In the past I have seen people re-roof a home and install the new shingles directly over the old shingles. In some states this practice is accepted. In Louisiana however, you can not install over old shingles. You must first remove the old shingles before installing new ones. Once the old shingles have been removed you can get a feel for the soundness of the plywood underneath by simply walking around the roof looking for soft spots. If soft spots are found you will have to replace the drywall and the underlayment. Most residential insurance roof restoration jobs will require a complete roof replacement. 

The Ryson Roofing Process

This entire insurance roof restoration process is simplified by Ryson Roofing's process. Ryson Roofing begins by offering a free roof inspection and identifying if any roof damage exits. If damage is located Ryson Roofing will document the damage and ask the homeowner to file the insurance claim. Once the claim is filed Ryson Roofing will return to meet with your insurance adjuster in order to point out the damage found. We have repeated this process thousands of times and have become the experts in southeastern Louisiana when it comes to dealing with insurance claims.

In the aftermath of any strong storm, damage to your roofing system may not be immediately noticeable.

Damage from wind or hail can start small and will grow as repeated wind cycles and other storms reoccur over time.  The NRCA urged homeowners to proceed inspections with caution. To properly evaluate a roof for storm or hail damage, one must physically climb on the roof. At times the roof may be potentially unsound due to storm damage to the structure.

Here Comes The Rain

Baton Rouge Property Damage From Rain Water

Did you know that water damage is the seconds most frequently filed insurance claim in the United States. And while a good portion of the damage enters from the roofing system, there are many other ways that water can damage your property. The key to preventing water damage is to keep your property including your roof well maintained. the following are common problem areas for water damage.

Driveways: Driveways are commonly designed so that water can runoff and be delivered to a drainage system. However there are a variety of obsticles that can cause the water to collect and be diverted back towards your home. These obsticles include debris, lawn waste, garabage, and even lawn toys. Any of these obstacles can obstruct the proper drainage of water away from your home. 

Ground Pitch: An important area of inspection that is commonly overlooked is the ground pitch or angle around your home. If the ground is pitched in a awy that water runs towards your home this could lead to greater water damage issues in time. If you notice standing water around your home, you may want to check the ground pitch and make sure it directs water away from your home. 

Gutters: A very common issues that can cause water damage is clogged gutters. Gutters are designed to collect water that runs off of your roof and carry that water to the down spouts. If the gutters are clogged, the water will overflow and can damage the roof or the water will spill over the edges and can damage the home structure. Cleaning your gutters can prevent water damage.

Down Spouts: When gutters collect water, they carry this water to the down spouts that are designed to carry the water away from your home. If the down spouts are not used properly they can become ineffective. Down spouts should carry water away from your home. If water collects at the end of the down spout purchase an extender to carry the water further away or dig a small trench to carry the water away and channel it away from the home.

Ryson Roofing specializes in residential roofing and offers free roof inspections to help homeowners spot any roof damage that can cause greater damage to more than just the roofing system.

Residential Roof Replacement

Residential Roof Replacement | Livingston Parish La

If you live in Livingston Parish or the surrounding area, you recently experienced some seriously hostile weather. Several tornadoes were reported in the area and many homes and businesses were damaged because of these storms. Storm damage at this level is easy to recognize. Roofs are visibly damaged, shingles are missing and in some cases roofs are completely torn off. Storm damage at this level is treated with great urgency. The damage has to be quickly identified so the proper solutions can be put in place. The longer damage is left without remedy, the more it will cost to apply a solution. Hail damage on the other hand is not easy to recognize unless you have a trained eye to identify that type of damage. Hail damage can sit dormant for months waiting for the sun to slowly stretch the shingle and allow moisture to seep into the hail damagfed spot. Insurance companies understand this fact very well which is why they will pay for a complete residential roof replacement.

The Ryson Roofing Process

Ryson Roofing understands the insurance claim process completely. We have been dealing with insurance claims for over 25 years and 90% of our business is from a damage claim. Ryson Roofing offers a free roof inspection to homeowners in the Baton Rouge and surrounding areas. We send an inspector to physically get on your roof in order to properly identify if any damage exists. Once the damage has been located, We brief the homeowner on the claim process. The homeowner then files a claim and the insurance company will send a adjuster to inspect the roof. On the day the insurance adjuster is scheduled to inspect your roof, our own adjuster will return to your home to point out the damage our inspector found to your insurance company's adjuster. If the insurance company's adjuster agrees with the damage, they will approve the claim and you will get a new roof for the cost of your deductible. 

Who Pay's The Deductible?

Roofing contractors are never allowed to pay nor waive your insurance deductible. It is always the obligation of the homeowner to pay his or her own deductible. In many cases it reads right in the language of your insurance policy that your insurance can be voided if you fail to pay your deductible. if a contractor offers to pay your deductible they are prepared to commit fraud on the final invoice that is submitted to the insurance company. never hire a company that is prepared to commit fraud.
