Story About Empire Roofing

Cristian Maldonado started in the roofing industry over a decade and a half ago, learning the trade from the ground up. After working with some of the top roofing companies in the area, he saw an opportunity to create something different – a roofing company that truly puts customers first. Too often, he saw companies cutting corners, using subpar materials, or rushing jobs just to maximize profits. He knew there was a better way.
That’s why he founded New Empire Roofing – to provide homeowners and business owners with top-tier roofing services without the hassle, stress, or hidden costs.

At New Empire Roofing, we know that dealing with roof damage and insurance claims can be stressful. Below, we’ve answered common questions to help guide you through the process.

General Roofing & Insurance Claims Questions

How do I know if my roof damage qualifies for an insurance claim?

Don’t wait! The longer you delay, the more damage can occur. Contact us for a free roof inspection, and we’ll document any issues and help you decide on the next steps.
Most of the time, insurance companies do not increase your premium for weather-related damage, as it is considered an “Act of God.” However, it’s always best to check with your insurance provider for details.
This varies by insurance provider, but most companies allow one to two years from the date of the storm to file a claim. However, it’s best to start the process as soon as possible to prevent further damage
If the damage was caused by a recent storm and is still within your policy’s time limit, you may be able to file a claim. If your roof has pre-existing wear and tear, insurance may not cover it. We can inspect your roof and provide expert advice on whether you should move forward with a claim.

Roof Maintenance & Tips

A well-maintained roof can last decades longer, saving you thousands in repairs and
replacements. At New Empire Roofing, we believe that prevention is key when it comes to roof
care. Here’s everything you need to know to keep your roof in top condition year-round.

Why Roof Maintenance Matters

Regular maintenance prevents small issues from turning into expensive problems. A neglected
roof can lead to:
❌ Leaks & Water Damage – Can cause mold, rot, and interior damage.
❌ Structural Weakness – Unnoticed damage can compromise your home’s stability.
❌ Higher Energy Bills – Poor roofing can lead to inefficient insulation and temperature control.
❌ Shortened Roof Lifespan – Minor wear and tear, if ignored, can force early replacement.
By following these maintenance tips, you can extend the life of your roof and avoid costly
repairs.

Roof Maintenance Tips

Schedule Regular Roof Inspections

✔ Get a professional inspection at least once a year and after major storms.

✔ Look for damaged, missing, or curled shingles that may lead to leaks.

✔ Inspect flashing around chimneys, vents, and skylights for cracks or separation.

💡 Tip: The best time for an inspection is before hurricane season and after major storms

Keep Gutters & Downspouts Clean

✔ Clogged gutters can cause water to back up under your roof, leading to leaks and rot.

✔ Remove leaves, dirt, and debris from gutters at least twice a year.

✔ Ensure downspouts are directing water at least 5 feet away from your home’s foundation

💡TIP : Install gutter guards to minimize debris buildup and reduce maintenance

Trim Overhanging Tree Branches

✔ Branches can scratch or damage shingles during high winds.

✔ Falling limbs pose a serious risk of puncturing your roof.

✔ Keeping trees trimmed reduces moisture buildup and moss growth

💡  Trim branches so they are at least 6 feet away from your roof.

Watch for Signs of Roof Damage

✔ Inside Your Home: Look for water stains on ceilings or walls, which indicate leaks.

✔ In the Attic: Check for damp insulation or mold growth, signs of poor ventilation.

✔ On the Roof: Look for loose or missing shingles, cracked tiles, or rusted flashing.

💡TIP : Use binoculars to inspect your roof safely from the ground.

Prevent Algae & Moss Growth

✔ Algae and moss trap moisture, leading to rot and premature aging of shingles.

✔ Keep the roof clean and free of debris to reduce mold and moss growth.

✔ Install zinc or copper strips along the roof ridge to naturally prevent moss.

💡 Tip: If you notice dark streaks on your roof, have it professionally cleaned.

 Address Small Repairs Quickly

✔ Don’t ignore small issues like loose shingles, minor leaks, or cracked flashing.

✔ Small repairs now can prevent major damage later.

✔ Seal gaps around vents and chimneys to prevent leaks.

💡 Tip: A small leak today can become a major water damage problem tomorrow—act fast!

Ensure Proper Roof Ventilation

✔ Poor ventilation traps heat and moisture, leading to mold growth and shingle damage.

✔ Ensure your attic has proper intake and exhaust vents to allow airflow.

✔ Check for blocked or covered vents, which can cause heat buildup.

💡 Tip: Good ventilation helps reduce energy costs and keeps your home comfortable year-round.

Signs You May Need a Roof Replacement

Even with great maintenance, roofs have a limited lifespan. Look for these signs that you may
need a roof replacement:
🔹 Shingles are curling, cracking, or missing
🔹 Water stains on ceilings or walls
🔹 Your roof is 15+ years old
🔹 Sagging areas or visible structural damage
🔹 Granules from shingles collecting in gutters
