Green roofs have advantages as well as disadvantages and one should consider both before getting a green roof installed. On one hand, it’s more environment-friendly and reduces heating and cooling costs. On the other hand, the installation and maintenance cost is high.

Although the driveway sealer can be used on a roof, it is always advised to use the ones formulated specifically for roofs. This is because of the composition of the two. Your driveways are made of a different material than the asphalt shingles that make your roof. The sealers for the two are made according to what is best for their composition.

It mainly depends on what kind of insurance did you get and how much the damage is. In most of the cases, the wind damage to the roof is covered under the home insurance. However, it is subject to a number of conditions. In the case where you signed off to remove coverage for wind damage in the policy, your insurance won’t compensate you for any such damage.
