New Bern questions
Nothing here is legal or insurance advice. Your policy and your insurance company decide what is covered, so check yours or ask your agent.
Yes, and the scope should reflect it. Near the coast the county requires stronger fastening: more nails per shingle, closer nailing into the wood underneath, and stronger connections where the roof meets the walls. That work takes longer and costs more than the same roof would inland, so it is worth seeing those items written into whatever scope you are given.
Yes, and it is slower, more careful work. There are limits on what you are allowed to put back, the roof shapes are complicated, and the metal work is real work. We will tell you at the inspection if what you want and what you are allowed are not the same thing.
More likely the wrong brackets, or the right brackets spaced too far apart. We look at how the old ones failed before we specify new ones.
No. The document that does that is called an assignment of benefits, and it signs your claim and its payments over to a contractor. It has legitimate uses, but it is a significant thing to give away, so read any version of it in full first, from us or from anyone. You will never be asked to sign one to get an inspection or an estimate here.
No, and no roofing contractor can. In North Carolina only you, a licensed public adjuster, or an attorney can negotiate a claim, and a contractor doing the repair is not allowed to act as the adjuster on it. What we do is inspect, document the damage, price the work, and be at the property to show your adjuster what we found. The claim itself stays in your name. One related point, because it comes up a lot here after a storm: your deductible is yours to pay, and North Carolina law prohibits a contractor from covering it to win the job. The state Department of Insurance warns that accepting a “free roof” offer can leave the homeowner exposed too, because the claim carries your name.
