What is the threshold of damage to my roof for a full replacement from the insurance company?
In this scenario your roof would have to have been victim to an extreme weather event such as Wind or Hail. If such is the case the insurance company typically wants to see 7-8 wind-damaged shingles per slope to grant a full replacement, or 10 hail hits in a hundred square foot area on each slope.
Should I use felt or synthetic underlay?
At Thunderstruck we recommend using a synthetic underlay, first because it is recommended and encouraged by the top shingle manufacturers, and second it is a lighter stronger product that will help minimize the overall weight of your roofing system while also providing a less tear resistant product in the event of a weather that may cause the loss of shingles and expose your sheathing.
