Why??? I don’t know any insurance company that requires this kind of information - And no one should suggest it to them!! If one person starts volunteering this type of information then the next thing you know all the underwriters will start requiring it. ---

This video is geared toward the Owens Corning Roof Data Program, which requires a take off of the entire shingled roof. I did notice that the video doesn’t take into account for waste and valleys. ---

Boy that kind of thought sure sounds familiar 🙂 I have not looked into what is being discussed but glad some folks think about that. ---
