Hail-Resistant Roofs: Fact or Fiction?

Image
Colorado often experiences severe  hailstorms  that can cause devastating property damage. The Rocky Mountain Insurance Information Association reports that Colorado’s Front Range and Wyoming’s eastern plains, commonly referred to as “hail alley,” receive the highest frequency of large hailstones in North America. Over the past 10 years, hailstorms have caused nearly $1.7 billion in damage to roofs and automobiles in hail alley. The damaging hailstorms generally occur mid-May through late July. Damages incurred to roofs during hailstorms can, however, be reduced with proper roof design and roofing product selection. A properly designed roof structure can substantially reduce hail damage. Several testing agencies have developed the following recommendations for the roof designer: Shingles made with polymer-modified (SBS) asphalt have better resistance to hail damage than shingles made from oxidized asphalt. Reroofing over an existing shingle system greatly increases the ...

Can Your Home Survive a Wildfire?

Image
Whether a home survives a wildfire is not random, nor is it a function of luck, most homes that exhibited attributes promoted by the FireSmart program -- including keeping combustible vegetation away from the house, uncluttered yards and low-flammability roofs and surfaces -- survive fires. It seems clear that the survival of homes was a function of resistance to ignition and not a random event or a matter of luck, Beyond doubt, risk mitigation (FireSmart) guidelines demonstrated their effectiveness in mitigating risk under the harshest of wildfire conditions. Most homes caught on fire as the result of embers from the forest fire landing on their property. "Based on site visits, no instances were observed where home ignition could confidently be attributed to direct contact by flames of the burning forest, and there were very few observations where home ignition was likely due only to radiant heat from the forest. Other studies have shown that embers generated by burning vege...

Most home sellers and buyers have been informed that obtaining title insurance will provide them necessary protection over possible title defects; but many remain uncertain about why this is so—or even about what title insurance is. The more you know about title insurance and its pricing, the more confident you’ll be about getting the right policy. A SELLER’S CONCERN: HOW MUCH DOES IT COST? Title Insurance policy is much more cost effective than the other kinds of insurance you have had to purchase. For a single, one-time-only fee, a title policy remains effective until the property is sold to a new owner—even if that doesn’t occur for decades. The price structure is available on most title companies websites. Some title companies also offer a substantial discount if the policy was issues less than four years earlier. WHY THE BUYER NEEDS TO PROVIDE TITLE INSURANCE? Any prospective buyer will need evidence that his/her investment in your property is free of title defects. In fact, you...
