Common Roofing Industry Terms

Do you speak roofing? Probably not. When dealing with a professional roofer you may start to hear some terms that just don't come up in normal everyday conversations. This can be frustrating for a consumer who is shopping around for a roofing contractor. The following list will help you to get that new roof or roof repair done correctly and cost effectively.

Roof Slope -The slope of the roof is basically how much the roof slants. The vertical Baton Rouge Roof Slopemeasurement in inches over a horizontal 12". Usually the greater the slope of the roof, the more costly the roof will be due to increased difficulty in laying it down and a slight increase in roofing materials. In the example to the right the slope would be 9-on-12 or 9-in-12

Hips and Ridges
-A hip of a roof is a valley on the roof where two edges meet. A ridge is just the opposite, where two edges of the roof meet and forms a peak. The more hips and ridges a roof has the expensive the roof will be due to increased material cost and the difficulty of laying down the roof.

Flashing - The flashing on a roof is a metal barrier placed between the roof and the shingles to protect the underlying roof from running water.

Add a touch of class to your home

Along with its functional uses, custom designed sheet metal products such as finials and chimney caps can add lots of class to a new home and even spice up an older home. Custom window canopies and awnings along with dormors and vents provide a durable, versatile, elegant, and economical way to have your home stand apart from your neighbors. Give Garcia's custom copper, aluminum and galvanize products a try and you won't regret the results.

Roofing Insurance Claims FAQ's

When will someone inspect my damage?
The insurance company will contact you to schedule a convenient appointment time. Inform your insurance company that you would like your roofer present, and let your Garcia representative know when your appointment is scheduled.

How can I check the status of my claim?
You can check the status of your claim by contacting your insurance company either via telephone and/or online.

What happens next?
After your damages are evaluated, an insurance adjusted will create an estimate. Your estimate typically spells out what needs to be repaired and/or replaced, as well as what is covered under your policy.

Why is there depreciation shown on the estimate?
Depreciation is typically shown on all estimates for items that are not brand new. Depreciation is a decrease of the item's value due to age, wear, or market conditions. Your estimate may include depreciation for items & materials that are being replaced. However, once the replacement of your covered loss has been completed, you may be able to recover the depreciation amount that was withheld depending on your policy terms, conditions, and exclusions.

What's a deductible? When do I need to pay it and to whom?

A deductible is the portion of a loss covered that you are responsible for under your policy. For example, if your covered claim is for $4,500 and your deductible is $500, your insurer pays $4,000. The settlement check you receive from the insurer will be based on the amount of your covered loss from the estimate minus your deductible and any applicable depreciation. In most cases, you would pay the amount of your deductible directly to your contractor once repairs are completed.

What if my contractor's estimate is different from the insurance estimate?
Garcia's price is based off of the price set by the insurer. If there is a discrepancy, we will contact your claim adjusted to resolve the discrepancy. Your insurer will do what they can to resolve the differences and make any necessary adjustments. These estimate adjustments are possible due to fluctuating costs pertaining to material and/or labor.

The Past

Our company embodies the American dream.

Gabriel Garcia came to the United States in 1987 following civil strife in his homeland of El Salvador. With the language barrier and other challenges that face most immigrants, securing employment was difficult, in spite of Gabriel’s work ethic and dedication. In 1992 with a handful of workers, he struck out on his own in Prairieville, Louisiana and grossed $60,000 that year.

By putting his customers first and offering consistent, high-quality installation, Gabriel’s company grew rapidly at 30% per year over the next four years. By 1996 the company was at the point that professional management was needed to administer operations. Over the next succeeding years, product and service offerings were expanded to serve more customers and fulfill more roofing needs. A reroof and sheet metal division were added, and a sister company focusing exclusively on commercial and public contracts was formed.

In August 2005 Hurricane Katrina devastated the Gulf Coast, hitting southeast Louisiana hardest of all. For the next two years, the Garcia Companies worked vigorously to help homeowners and businesses repair their homes and return to some sense of normalcy. Even after the cleanup from Katrina was finally finished, business was still higher than pre-Katrina levels - a testament to the companies’ commitment to provide consistent, high-quality service throughout this time.
