Policies covering Cudahy properties generally pay for sudden damage and not for age, so the report has to separate the two clearly. On most jobs, emergency tarping on a Cudahy roof covering is normally covered, and receipts should be kept for it.
As a rule, two visits a year keeps a Cudahy roof honest: clear the valleys and gutters before the rains, and check the flashings once past the earliest heavy storm. Trimming back branches over a Cudahy roof removes the debris that holds moisture against the covering and shortens its life. Annual inspection on a Cudahy property typically adds two to three years to the back end of a roof's service life.
