Without a roof inspection there may not appear to be any damage.</div> <bR> <div> It is important to inspect your tile roof if you were in a high wind area from Hurricane Wilma because:</div> <bR> <div> 1. You have only <B>FIVE</B> years to make a claim after an event.</div> <bR> <div> 2. Almost ALL insurance policies have a requirement that you <B>"maintain your property in good condition"</B>.</div> <bR> <div> 3. If old damage is discovered in the case of a new claim (not hard to do), the insurance company may <B>NOT PAY</B> to repair your roof because of paragraph 2. above.</div> <bR> <div> 4.  You may be out of pocket <B>$30,000</B> or more to replace your roof.</div> <bR> <div> Give me a call to schedule a roof inspection to see if you have any damage.  If your roof has over 25% damage, it most likely is eligible for full replacement by your insurance company.  My fee for the inspection and a summary report is $200-$400 depending on where located in South Florida.</div> <bR> <div> Don't get caught on this one.</div> <bR> <div> Best regards,</div> <div> Bruce E.
