Not to mention, solar panels can also be a cause of roof leaks and require regular cleaning to maintain some level of efficiency which is not great to start with while also getting worse over time.

For instance, if hail damages your roof, you’d receive payment based on the roof’s current value, considering its age.Replacement Cost: Covers the full cost of a new item.

The water leaked through a shared wall into their neighbor's space and repairs are being made.

Why are you paying $250 for someone to check a leak unless it's an emergency?

The chimney contractor replaced the cap, but requires the branches be trimmed before he can perform repairs on the chimney because it is still leaking into the fire place after the cap was replaced. 

As an investment property owner, this means less maintenance and fewer unexpected expenses from storm related damage, often resulting in more affordable insurance premiums, less wear & tear on mechanical equipment, roofing materials or exterior surfaces.

As noted, it keeps capital available to replace the HVAC, when it goes out in your first month of ownership, or the roof starts leaking and you are chasing an unknown source to the tune of thousands of dollars.  

You tried getting a roofing job from Bob Prisco aka Bob Stevens, or you tried getting a roofing job from Elliott Taylor?

Flooring, Drywall, refinish basement, roof, gutters, tuck point around house, and one full bathroom gut all had to be completed.
