This does happen. We were with Villages insurance, they almost doubled our premium and stated they wanted the roof replaced to continue coverage. Some are blaming the roofers that are replacing roofs with storm damage running claims numbers up. We chose to insure with another company.

When we sold the property in July 2020, the purchaser had to sign a waiver at closing acknowledging that the roof was 12 yrs old and would need replacement in a few years.
