About ItsMyRoof
ItsMyRoof is an independent publisher of roofing information for homeowners in the United States. We cover materials, installation standards, storm damage, insurance claims and cost.
We do not install roofs. We do not inspect them. We do not dispatch contractors. We do not sell leads. There is no phone number on this site and no form that puts you in touch with anyone, because there is nobody to put you in touch with.
Why that matters here
Roofing search is dominated by contractors and by storm-chaser lead generation. After a hailstorm a homeowner gets a knock at the door, a free inspection, a contingency agreement they have not read, and a claim filed on their behalf. Almost nothing they can find online is written by someone with no stake in what they decide.
Nobody tells them what the contingency agreement actually commits them to. Nobody tells them their claim can be denied because the damage is cosmetic. Nobody explains what a supplement is, or why the first cheque is smaller than the estimate, or what the ACV-versus-RCV line on their own policy means.
That is the gap this site exists to fill. Materials content gets the traffic. The insurance and safety content is why we bothered.
The two things we do differently
We explain the insurance side as clearly as the shingle side. The insurance section sits at the same level of the navigation as materials, not buried under costs. That ordering is our argument, expressed as site architecture.
We draw an honest line about what belongs on a ladder. Every page touching a physical task carries a safety verdict — safe from the ground, caution, or do not go on the roof — in the same place, every time. The criteria are published. When we do not know the slope, the height and the condition of the decking, we say do not go up there, because that is the true answer.
How we work
Our editorial policy sets out the sourcing hierarchy, the risk tiers, the review cadence, the correction policy and our use of AI. The short version: every page has a named author and a visible review date, every regulatory claim is traced to a code, a regulator or a statute, and every cost figure is published as a range with each source named.
Where we have not verified something, we say so and publish the contact route instead of guessing. There is a lot of roofing information online that is confidently wrong, and adding to it would be worse than leaving a gap.
Who we are
Three people write and review here: a roofing contractor with twenty-two years running residential crews, a former property claims adjuster who spent nine years on hail and wind losses, and a licensed professional engineer who checks the code, ventilation and structural coverage before it publishes. Their credentials and the pages they are responsible for are on their author pages.
Corrections and contact
If we have something wrong, please tell us. The contact page has the address. We correct substantive errors in the page and update the review date rather than editing quietly.
