As a brand new homeowner, your home is one of your biggest investments, and one of your biggest responsibilities. In order for the value of your home to increase, you will want to protect your investment with a well-thought-out maintenance routine. If you live in an area with a hot climate like Frisco, TX you will need to make sure your roof is well taken care of. While you probably won’t be spending every weekend washing the windows of this house you now own, you will probably want to come up with a plan for caring for your home so that it will remain an asset, rather than becoming a long-term liability.

This plan should not only include seasonal maintenance items, such as cleaning out gutters and trimming overhanging tree branches but should also include a plan for how you are going to cover the costs of proactive repairs before aging portions of your home start screaming for your attention.

Since one of the biggest threats to a home is moisture, keeping precipitation out of your home is of utmost importance. Your roof, of course, is your first line of defense against water getting into your home. Today, we would like to discuss three things new homeowners should know about their roofs.

1. Roofs Don’t Last Forever

The lifespan of a roof is typically 10 to 15 years. While home inspections are not required in most states, it is in a buyer’s best interest to have an inspection performed, because knowing the age and condition of a home’s roof can be helpful when putting in an offer for purchase. For example, if the existing roof is already nine years old, the buyer may be able to negotiate a few thousand dollars off of the asking price, due to the fact that the roof will soon need to be replaced. A home inspection will include details about the roof, including any soft spots that the inspector may notice. If the exact age of the roof is not recorded in the inspection, it is not out of line for a buyer to kindly, but firmly, press for this information.

2. Be Proactive With Known Deficiencies

It is in a new homeowner’s best interest to take care of issues with their roof as soon as deficiencies are noted. Procrastination is never an option, as a leaky roof will never repair itself. There are times, however, when it may appear that way. For example, if you should notice water dripping inside your home, and, during a rain shower several days later, notice that you no longer detect moisture in that same area, do not assume for a moment that the leak has been rectified. Sometimes, moisture from rain or another type of precipitation may be diverted from its point of entry to a second point of discovery.

It is also important to mention that just because you may notice water entering your residence at one location, does not necessarily mean that a leak exists in the roof directly above the area where moisture is detected. If moisture was able to get in once, and a repair has not been made, moisture is still able to gain entrance, even if its location in your home is seemingly unapparent.

3. Sometimes What Covers Your Home May Be Covered by a Warranty

If prior owners of your home recently had the roof replaced, that roof may be under a warranty that is transferable to future owners. If the roof is under a non-transferable warranty and a problem is noted before the sale is completed, the seller may be willing to use that warranty coverage to address any current concerns. If the warranty is transferable, be sure to obtain the necessary paperwork and information from the seller.

Have you been waiting to repair or replace your roof? Here’s what you need to know about paying your deductible now that HB 2102 has been passed. HB 2102 (a NEW Texas Law, starting September 1st, 2019), now requires ALL Texas homeowners to pay their homeowner’s insurance deductible. However, HB 2102 does allow you as a homeowner to pay your deductible in installments, but even paying in installments can still be overwhelming if you don’t have the funds to cover the payments.

What is HB 2102?

Here is the nuts and bolts of HB 2102 that Texas Governor Greg Abbott signed on June 14, 2019. Homeowners, such as yourself, in North Texas, can no longer take advantage of a “Free Roof”. It had become common practice for roofing contractors to offer to waive your deductible to help you get a new roof due to hail or wind damage. Even though this has technically been illegal in Texas since 1989, the statute was not well written so there was little enforcement. This new law, HB 2102, makes enforcement possible.

What Does This Mean for YOU, the Homeowner?

How does this new law affect the roofing contractors you will be working with? Under the recently approved Texas House Bill 2102, any roofing contractor that offers to waive your deductible on your property insurance could be facing criminal charges. So, roofers are now required to state in their contract in boldface language that you must pay the deductible under your property insurance policy. Since this House Bill is in effect, it’s now a criminal offense for a roofing contractor to do the following for you:

• Pay your insurance deductible;
• Waive your insurance deductible;
• Absorb your insurance deductible;
• Rebate your insurance deductible; or
• Offset your insurance deductible.

If you knowingly submit or allow a claim to be submitted with a waived or reduced deductible, YOU, as an insured policyholder are also in violation of the law. This new law helps protect you as the consumer from the onslaught of roofers that go door-to-door after Texas storms that are not accredited and may leave you with sub-par work, or even a partially completed roof.

How Does This Law Work for the Insurers?

This new bill even affects the way your insurance company handles your claim. Now as a provision of the new state law, your insurer may refuse to pay a claim for withheld replacement cost holdback until they receive reasonable proof that you’ve paid your deductible. Your insurer can ask for the following as proof you’ve paid your deductible:

• Canceled checks,
• Money order receipts,
• Credit card statements,
• Copy of an executed installment plan contract, or
• Another type of financing arrangement to pay the full deductible over time.

While this may seem like an extreme measure, this new law is to better help protect YOU from being taken advantage of, by disreputable contractors, who botch roof jobs that cost you more money over time and take your insurance money and leave you without completing your roof in an acceptable manner.
