Roof Insurance Claims in Fort Myers, FL

Is my Roof Covered by Insurance if I have a Roof Insurance Claim?

Many insurance companies are requiring homeowners with roofs over 20 years old to replace them because the codes 20 years ago were not as stringent as they are today.

Those who fail inspection will not be renewed without a roof replacement.

Some insurers don’t write new policies for homes with roofs over 20 years old and they won’t pay to fully replace the roof. They only reimburse for what an old roof is worth after 20-plus years.

Some insurance companies will not renew a homeowner’s insurance policy if the roof is 15 or more years old without an inspection. Some may just cancel the policy.

Insurance guidelines vary by insurance company, so be sure to understand the guidelines, if your home has an old roof and you need to make a roof insurance claim.

Obvious Issues to Look For and Potential Roof Problems

Look at the ceilings in your home. Are there any water stains or discoloration on the ceilings?

Does your roof have two or more layers of shingles? We do not recommend this, because if you don’t take the roof down to the decking, you can’t see if there is any deteriorated plywood. You also can’t see if the decking is up to code on nailing and straps.

The caulking around your vent stacks can deteriorate over time and allow water intrusion.

Screws on metal roofs can rust and allow water intrusion, and tiles can easily crack if not walked on properly and allow water intrusion.

Do not trust everyone to walk on your roof. A failing roof can be costly. Call a professional!!

What Customers Say About D.R. Martineau Roofing Company

D.R. Martineau construction was great. We had a new roof put on. They were so professional!
All the workers were kind and considerate and very hard working. The efficiency of everything was perfect. They timed it all out beautifully from the first night that someone came to lay down the plastic and the plywood to the dumpster delivery and pick up. They cleaned up every night and were here bright and early each day. This was all done over the Christmas and New Year’s holiday and we were not inconvenienced at all. GREAT JOB!

Replaced 4 layers of roofing with metal roof

Very professional. There was no damage to landscaping and all debris was removed. All timetables were met. Good communication.

Totally professional company, from punctuality to flexibility, eager to please and skillful workmanship. As far as the light tubes, they have changed my house from a dark, kind of gloomy place to a sun-filled, cheerful environment. I couldn’t recommend more highly.

Perfectly. Came the day they were scheduled, were willing to make a change that I required, finished early the next day.

Totally Satisfied with your company. They were awesome to work with. Very happy with the job. Will definitely recommend your company.

Thanks L. Gorman

We had a water leak in our dining room and called this company to look at our problem. A careful inspection was done including pictures. Fortunately for us, we had a lot of leftover roof tiles because we certainly needed them. A section of our roof was ready to collapse and there were broken tiles all over the roof, probably from roof cleaning.

The company came on schedule and made repairs that satisfied my engineer husband. Highly recommend.

In early 2018, we bought a home; however, it had an aging roof. We decided to get it replaced several months after closing. We shopped around and got a good quote for the work from D.R. Martineau.

They showed up when they said they would and finished the job in a reasonable amount of time. Our contact from the company answered our questions and returned calls promptly. They were very friendly and professional. The only complaint we have is that some roofing nails were left behind in the yard, but it is a minor complaint. To be fair, they were not easy to spot, and they did warn us that some may be lost in the grass.

All in all, we had a very positive experience and not only would recommend, but have recommended them since.

Martineau Roofing installed three Solatube roof lights for us. We love the solatubes and are very satisfied with this company. I just wish the Solatubes weren’t so expensive.

Perfectly.

Jacob the salesman was the most professional, knowledgeable, and courteous salesman I have ever encountered. The job only took two day with the exception of the inspection days and there wasn’t a single issue. I couldn’t ask for a smoother and easier process of getting a new roof.

Many of you have asked for information regarding the new re-roof that we just completed.  Our home was built in 1998 and we started to have numerous leaks, particularly in our valleys.  Some will remember that a contractor had mistakenly placed roofing material on our roof that may have contributed to our most recent problem.

Anyway, we found an excellent contractor by the name of Dan Martineau from Fort Myers.  We received 6 different bids and after comparing “apples-to-apples” realized that Dan’s company not only used the best materials but was also without question the best price by far!  Dan, as owner of the company, sat with us throughout the process and personally bid and oversaw the construction along with his supervisor and knowledgeable installation crew.

He worked with all the major manufacturers – Boral, Entegra, Eagle, Crown – and we spent weeks at looking at all various types of concrete tiles from all companies.

Dan carries workers comp and liability insurance on all of his workers for their protection and ours.  His company is rated A+ with the Better Business Bureau!

Angel V. Was our initial contact with the company. He came out and assessed the problem. Our roof was leaking but there was no obvious source for the leak. Angel took photos of the suspect area and we discussed repair possibilities.

He offered two possible repair options. After considering the possible source of the leak, we chose the option giving us a one year warranty.

Daniel & Gilbert were our crew. They did an excellent job, were cheerful and explained things well as the job proceeded. They did neat work, cleaned the area when done and we enjoyed having them “on the roof”.

I want to add that we have a very steep metal roof, they worked safely and efficiently.

I would definitely recommend D.R. Martineau and this crew to anyone needing roof work or repair.

Install two solar tubes. Add outside vents to bathroom fans.

They showed up on time and completed the job quickly.

Roof done faster than I thought. Everyone was prompt. Everyone I dealt with was very responsive and nice.

Thank you !! L. Porter

For the most part it went great. The crew that did the roof was extremely hard working, punctual and as un-intrusive as possible. I had requested that an object be taken up on the roof when they took pictures of the roof so I could be positive it is my roof. The supervisor on the project did this with a great attitude, the project manager did not. I never saw any of the pictures that the project manager took until I got the last bill. The supervisor came off the roof and showed me the pictures he took immediately. If you want anything special done make sure it is written in the contract.

Installation of Solatube

Both purchase and installation went smoothly
