Is there a company going door to door, promising to get insurance companies to pay for new roofs? I checked out several of the roofs in question, but could see no “Visible” damage. I believe the insurance companies will send a representative out to double check these roofs to make sure they are not being scammed by the roofing company. My roof is 15 years old and I inspected it pretty good and it looks like it is holding up very well after the storms we’ve had in the last ten years. Is this an insurance scam?
Yes it is a scam. It will drive up all of our home insurance rates next year!
