A guest-injury claim from a falling gutter or ice-dam collapse is uninsurable liability once you've been notified of the defect. If you rent short-term in NM — Santa Fe, Taos, Ruidoso, ABQ, Rio Rancho — a signed inspection report before the season either clears you to operate or gives you a documented list to fix. Either way, you're protected.

Because a guest-injury claim from a falling gutter or ice-dam collapse is uninsurable liability territory once you're notified of a defect. A signed inspection report before the season either clears you to operate or gives you a documented list to fix — either way, you're not the one holding the bag when a guest slips.
Increasingly yes. STR-specialty carriers (Proper, Slice, Obie) now ask for third-party roof condition at binding and renewal. A signed report typically satisfies them for 2–3 years.

I've watched too many neighbors sign contracts they didn't understand for roofs they didn't need. That stops with a written report they own.
