Is there a certain pitch to a roof that you don't walk on?

@davidelks8972 I guess it depends on the condition of the shingle. I’ve been on a 7/12 that was 25 years old and little to no granules left, and it scared me to death. I can walk on a 10/12 with no problem, if the shingle is in good condition. I can also walk on 12/12 for about a minute, but then I have to get off. Work on your flexibility of your ankles. The surface that your boot touches on the roof, the more grip the cougar paws will have. Most people slip because they’re walking on the balls of their feet. Also make sure your pads are in good shape on your boots. Hope this makes sense.

As a roofing contractor, it is always very informative and helpful to watch your videos to make sure we are steering homeowners in the right direction as to whether they have enough damage worthy of a claim. Thanks Daniel!

Thanks for your comment. It’s all what you’re comfortable with.

Question, would you estimate for new sheathing where the leak was, or is would that be denied to wear and tear, maintenance?

@ajgumper6273 Good question. Each carrier and State is different in regards to this. If the roof was exposed and I saw missing plywood, then I might add some to the estimate since the shingles need a nailable surface. But this is tricky, cause wear and tear could have caused it, and therefore this would not be covered.

Curious, are you able to use a drone instead of getting on the roof ever? If so, ballpark what % of the time and what are the circumstances? Thanks

@RoscoPColtrane17 Unfortunately, independent adjusters cannot use drones for our inspections. The employee staff adjusters use them since the Carrier is responsible for their medical care and does not want to put the employee at risk of falling. Maybe one day the Carrier will change their mind, but for now, it's boots on the roof!

I wish you were my adjuster. Your honest. Mine wasn't. He nickled and dimed me. Where are you located? I may need help.

@marlonlicup10 Ha ha. Thanks. I’m in Raleigh. Unfortunately you can’t pick your Adjuster. Sorry.

So did you actually replace roof and leakage even though it wasn't really noticeable where the leak came from?

@marlonlicup10 Each Carrier is different and how they handle wind or water damage. This Carrier, Universal North America, replaces 20 yr 3 TAB entire roof shingles for very little wind damage. The roof replacement will solve the leaking issue, even if I really couldn't definitively find it. Most Carriers will not replace shingles even if they are leaking, unless they are wind damaged.
