We have already had a HUGE hail storm to start off this hail and storm season and the question we get asked most is how soon must storm damage be repaired?

How Soon Must Storm Damage be Repaired?

The answer of course is going to depend on the amount of damage that your roof and house has received. Your insurance policy may also factor in on the decision. Read your policy, are you given a time frame on when storm damage needs to repaired by? Most Insurance Companies allow 24 months, some policies only allow you 12 months, but checking your insurance policy should be one of the first things to do.

New Roof Flashings Billings MT

Insist Upon Installation of New Roof Flashings

Are you having your roof replaced after the recent hail storms? If so, please make sure that your roofer is license and bonded. Also insist upon installation of new roof flashings.

When your roof is replaced, some contractors will “re-use” and not replace the metal roof flashings. Flashings are where the roof comes together with the siding and around skylights and chimneys as well.

Insist Upon Installation of New Roof Flashings

It does take extra time to replace those flashings, especially when those flashings are embedded behind stucco siding. That is why they often get overlooked. At Bruce Tall Construction, we always take the extra time for all of our clients.

If flashings are overlooked, your roof can leak. Most leaks typically occur at the flashings. Flashings are without a doubt one of the most critical components of the roof. We are Billings Best Roofers and we routinely replace the old roof flashngs, no matter how difficult the task.

Remember when you’re searching for a roofer, the cheapest bid may not always be the best bid. Ask if they are going to replace the flashings, especially where the roof comes together with the siding. Get it in writing. If this gets overlooked, your new roof could leak and deteriorate much quicker.

Signs of Fraud from Roofing Contractors Billings MT

 

If a roofing contractor offers to pay your insurance deductible, that is a huge red flag. DO NOT let anyone talk you into an inflated price and then promise you that they will just overcharge your insurance company to get enough money to pay for your roof including the deductible. That is insurance fraud and you will be liable.

Steel Buildings

The Montana countryside is full of barns. Ranch-style barns are an icon of the American West. Some of the barns you’ll see on the landscape were erected a century ago. Most barns are erected in two different styles: pole barns and steel reinforced barns. Pole barns are traditional structures in which poles are buried in the ground and used as supports for the roof. This type of construction is simple, although it’s definitely not a rugged, durable form of construction—but pole barns will continue to stand, with luck, for decades to come. Steel constructed barns, which give the appearance of pole barns, but with the added bonus of being truly durable, should continue to stand the test of time for the next century.

There’s a few differences in the construction of both pole barns and steel-reinforced barns. Steel reinforced barns are constructed using steel columns that attach to a concrete foundation. Because of modern machinery, this makes the construction of the barn’s frame a quick process—quicker then a pole barn’s construction. The speed with which a steel reinforced barn can be built also makes the construction costs for the steel reinforced barn much cheaper. The steel barn frame is also highly weather resistant and resistant to mold. There’s no need for maintenance to the steel barn construction, and painting is not needed.

Steel barn frames are more expensive to build. It’s the upfront costs. Pole barns are less money to initially build, however there are other costs to consider for the life of the barn. A pole barns will need maintenance at some point in it’s life.   Steel reinforced barns also may not last as long as the steel reinforced barn, so there could be replacements costs, depending on the initial quality of the construction of the pole barn.

Steel reinforced barns are also much better for livestock. Pole barns can develop unsanitary conditions for the animal due to the style of the barn’s construction. A steel reinforced barn is a much better choice when the barn is to be used to house animals.
