About ridge capping and repointing
The mortar bedding under ridge capping cracks with decades of roof movement, letting caps loosen and water in; it is the single most common tiled-roof failure. Modern repointing uses flexible compound over fresh bedding and outlasts the old rigid mortar by years. Loose caps are also a wind hazard, so this is not a cosmetic job.

Local knowledge counts

Quick answers
Do roofers need to be licensed?+
Roof plumbing, guttering, downpipes and flashings, is licensed work in most states, and building work above certain values needs a licensed builder or roofing contractor. Ask for the licence and public liability insurance before anyone climbs. Door-knockers offering same-day restoration deals after storms are a well-worn scam pattern.
Can a roof be repaired in the rain?+
Emergency make-safe work, tarps and temporary sealing, happens in the wet, but proper repairs, coatings and pointing need dry surfaces to bond. Expect a two-stage response for a mid-storm leak: make safe now, repair on the next dry day. Insurers understand this pattern and cover both stages of legitimate storm claims.
Will insurance cover my roof leak?+
Storm damage is generally covered; gradual deterioration, rusted-out gutters and decades-old pointing generally are not. Insurers distinguish a storm-lifted section from long-term wear, and so will their assessor. Photograph damage immediately after the event and keep the roofer's report, because documentation decides marginal claims.
