Water is coming in and the priority is to stop it today, not to plan a perfect roof.
The damage that costs you money is usually the damage you cannot see from the driveway.
An ice dam is a heat-loss problem wearing a weather costume β and chopping at it makes things worse.
The leak is almost never directly above the stain on the ceiling.
Two quotes can differ by thousands and both be honest β because they scoped different work.
Pennsylvania has more genuine slate roofs than almost anywhere in the country β and they are repairable.
Gutters do not cause ice dams β but they do decide where a winter's worth of water ends up.
An independent written scope is the single most useful thing you can hold in a claim.
Emergency means water is entering the building now, or the roof is open to the weather. That is a same-day triage job: find it, close it, document it, plan the permanent fix afterwards.
Repair makes sense when damage is isolated and the rest of the roof has life left in it β one failed pipe boot, a section of step flashing, a slope that lost shingles in a storm.
Replacement is the answer when leaks appear in several unrelated places, when granule loss and curling are widespread, when a roof is past twenty years in this climate, or when an insurer has written the roof off after a storm. The honest test is whether a repair would be money spent twice.
Most contractors performing more than $5,000 of home improvement work per year must register with the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General and display a PA Home Improvement Contractor number. Contracts over $500 must be in writing, and you generally have three business days to cancel one signed at your home. Ask for the registration number, ask for a certificate of insurance direct from the insurer, and never accept an offer to waive or absorb your insurance deductible.
