Wood roofs in Charlotte
In spite of their innate beauty, wooden roof problems have become so expensive
and commonplace that insurance companies are pushing homeowners to replace
them. This means that homeowners either face the prospect of losing coverage,
or watching their premiums skyrocket. The chief advantage of wood shingles is
that they offer a pleasing look that is so unique that no two roofs will look
the same. Wood shingles also allows the house to breathe while insulating the
attic. Many homeowners do not want to replace their beautiful wooden roofs, but
face the reality of a “roof exclusion” on their policy.
Some of the major issues with wood shingles on your roof are listed
below. This list is a representative example of some problems with wooden roofs
but it is certainly not comprehensive.
- Cracks
- Warping
- Fire
- Mold
- Rot
- Insects
- Shrinkage
- Brittleness
Insurance companies have become cautious of insuring homes and
commercial buildings with wood shingles on their roofs. Do not be surprised if
your insurance company asks you to replace it. They could invariably drop you,
raise your rates, or exclude the roof on your homeowner policy.
