We also use EnviroTarp to cover your landscaping that is directly below the roofing project. RoofTek uses as much care as possible to protect your landscaping. We can’t guarantee there will be zero damage as this is a major construction project. DOES THE SAME CREW THAT INSTALLS MY ROOF, INSTALL MY GUTTERS?

DO WE MANUFACTURE AND INSTALL THE GUTTERS OURSELVES? We install 10% of the gutters and are building our business in this area.

Supplementing WHAT IS SUPPLEMENTING? Supplementing involves a detailed review of an insurance estimate and internal inspection report to ensure everything is accounted for. Insurance adjusters are very busy and occasionally overlook some items or enter something differently than current industry standards. In the event discrepancies are found a supplement for those items is submitted to the insurance company. WHEN DOES SUPPLEMENTING OCCUR? Supplementing can generally occur at 3 different times during the course of your project. Before any repairs are started a detailed review is completed and if needed, a supplement is submitted to the insurance company. While the repairs are being completed, a discrepancy is found by the project manager. After the repairs are completed, another thorough review of the job is completed and if any further discrepancies are found, they are submitted to the insurance company. HOW LONG DOES THE SUPPLEMENTING PROCESS TAKE? Generally the supplementing process takes 1-3 weeks to come to a revised settlement with the insurance company. DO I NEED TO DO ANYTHING DURING THE SUPPLEMENTING PROCESS? It is helpful if you call the adjuster or the insurance company and give them verbal authorization to speak with us and work directly with them. This can speed up the process a little bit. Some insurance companies require verbal authorization from you to share any information with the contractors directly. DO WE HAVE TO WAIT FOR A SUPPLEMENT TO BE APPROVED BEFORE MY REPAIRS CAN BE COMPLETED? In most cases, a project can move forwards while we work on coming to a settlement with the insurance company. If there are major discrepancies the project will be put on hold while we work on coming to a settlement with the insurance company. In these cases the project is put on hold generally because we will need to meet with the insurance company onsite and discuss the scope of repairs needed. DO I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE SUPPLEMENTED ITEMS IF THEY ARE NOT COVERED BY MY INSURANCE COMPANY? In most cases we just absorb the cost of the items not covered by the insurance company currently. There are some situations in which you will have to pay for supplements if they are not covered by the insurance company. The most common situation in which that occurs are relating to the roof decking and gutters. WHY DO I HAVE TO PAY MORE MONEY THAN WHAT IS LISTED ON MY CONTRACT IF SUPPLEMENTS ARE APPROVED? We do not complete a thorough review of a job until we have a signed contract. The reason for that is to protect ourselves and you from having unexpected costs. If discrepancies are found our contract states those additional funds will be paid to RoofTek. WHAT ARE THE MOST COMMON SUPPLEMENTED ITEMS? The most common items are related to current building codes and installation requirements. Commercial HOW LONG SHOULD A COMMERCIAL ROOF LAST? Depending on the membrane thickness, will determine how long the material warranty will be, usually 15 to 20 years on the material warranty. Here at RoofTek we like to get you 2 to 3 additional years of life out of the roof with basic service and repair and roof maintenance. HOW MANY LAYERS OF ROOFING CAN I HAVE AT ANY ONE TIME? Utah building code says that you can go up to 2 layers at any given time. It makes a lot more sense in the flat roofing world to do an overlay. No reason to remove the roof top insulation until you absolutely have to. HOW MUCH MONEY SHOULD I FACTOR IN SPENDING EACH YEAR ON ROOF MAINTENANCE? Typically you want to budget around 5% – 8% of whatever the roof value would be to include in yearly roof maintenance.
