Guardian Roof Systems Releases Warning on Consequences of Not Obtaining a Windstorm Certificate
Houston, Texas (PRWEB) January 18, 2015 -- If you are living in Texas—or in fact anywhere around the Gulf of Mexico—there's a heightened risk of encountering windstorms. Recognizing the seriousness of such a situation, Pearland-based company Guardian Roofing System recently published an official statement emphasizing the importance of obtaining a Texas Windstorm Certificate.
According to state law, houses along the Texas Gulf Coast are required to receive windstorm insurance through the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association, or TWIA. Each house must have a roof that is constructed according to the specifications of the Texas Department of Insurance, or TDI. Upon meeting the requirements, the homeowner receives the Texas Windstorm Certificate, confirming that the roof can withstand reasonably strong winds. Additionally, the seal can enable the homeowner to obtain additional insurance, since traditional homeowner's insurance will only cover some of the damage sustained during a storm.
On the other hand, if the roof does not meet TWIA requirements, it cannot be insured. And if damage occurs, it can be very expensive to repair the roof. Thus Guardian Roofing Systems provides roofing services that adhere to TWIA specifications. That way, homeowners' roofs will pass the inspection the first time around and obtain the certificate.
Guardian Roofing Systems would start off by sending a qualified inspector to evaluate the roof and determine the possibility of passing the TDI test. If not, the company can send roof constructors to perform certain enhancements on the roof, such as extra bracing or anything that improves its structural strength. In some cases, the technicians can replace it with a roof that meets specifications. With brand-new roofs, customers can choose a CertainTeed shingle one, which comes with a 10-, 15- or 25-year warranty.
Although the Texas Windstorm Certificate is not mandatory, it is strongly recommended. Not only would it confirm the sturdiness of the roof, it would give customers a piece of mind—especially when the next big storm rolls in.
