Terry Couldn’t Secure Insurance Until Brinkmann Recommended The Right Coastal Roofing Solution
Finding Wind And Hail Coverage Became The Biggest Obstacle
The right coastal roofing solution can do more than protect a home from the elements. In some situations, it can help homeowners overcome challenges they never expected to face.
Building a new home on the Texas Coast presented Terry W. with an obstacle that had nothing to do with construction. Finding insurance coverage became just as important as choosing the right roofing system.
Fortunately, Terry was already working with Brinkmann Quality Roofing Services.
As we helped select the right assembly for the new home, an unexpected insurance challenge changed the direction of the project. What happened next demonstrates how the right recommendations at the right time can make a meaningful difference.
Brinkmann Provided The Right Coastal Roofing Recommendations
Our company president, Jason Brinkmann, worked directly with Terry to ensure the new home received the right roof assembly. Because the home was being built on the Texas Coast, we recommended roofing components and products that matched the demands of the environment.
Those recommendations included:
- Products designed for the types of winds the home was expected to endure
- Stainless steel nails for the saltwater environment
- A FORTIFIED Roof Certification
- Aluminum drip edge
These recommendations helped establish the right foundation for the roofing system on the new home.
During the process, Terry communicated that insurance carriers were still unwilling to provide the Wind/Hail portion of the policy. That information led Jason to recommend another option that could help solve the problem.
A FORTIFIED Gold Certification Secured Insurance Coverage
After learning about the insurance challenge, Jason recommended pursuing a FORTIFIED Gold Certification for the home.
The timing of this recommendation was important. The build was still early enough in the process to make the necessary enhancements with minimal additional cost.
Additionally, because of the local building codes, the project was already close to meeting the requirements needed for FORTIFIED Gold Certification once we installed the FORTIFIED Roof.
This meant Terry had an opportunity to make the necessary improvements while construction was still underway rather than trying to address the issue after the home was complete.
After considering the recommendation, Terry moved forward with the FORTIFIED Gold Certification.
He then returned to the same insurance carriers that had previously declined to provide coverage for the home. This time, the response was different.
With the FORTIFIED Gold Certified home, the insurance carriers offered coverage and provided discounts.
The Right Roofing Decisions Resulted In A Stronger Build
What started as a challenge finding insurance soon became an opportunity to create a premium build with minimal additional cost.
Through our experience and recommendations, Terry was able to secure insurance coverage for the new home.
The right decisions during the construction process helped him:
- Make the necessary enhancements with minimal additional cost.
- Secure insurance after previous carriers declined the home.
- Receive discounts from insurance carriers.
By working with Brinkmann early in the construction process, Terry was able to make changes while they were still easier to incorporate into the project. The result was a home that met the requirements needed for FORTIFIED Gold Certification while also solving the insurance challenge that had previously created uncertainty.
