My thought EXACTLY. I listen to a DETAILED explanation of roofing... all the techniques, nail strips, how many nails to a strip, how each peak or gable must be done and the MANY ways to cut corners because most people only look at a roof like a new "sweater or shirt", "it's really PRETTY, so I want it and it must be fine). So I called my son who is NOT a roofer, but last two years of high school AND in college worked EXTREMELY hard dirty jobs of a roofing contractor. He just laughed and said if he lived "to be 100, he would not run out of ways to explain to me how many poor roofing techniques exist ! Didn't give me much hope of knowing what to do. Will soon be the only person on block without a new roof.... and I just can't take another 65% increase in premiums for this American Integrity ! My "agent" just shrugged, said, hey, rates go UP even though you have not ever filed a claim ! Like, "oh well, not my problem" ??? Nice guy.
