Why else are they knocking on doors offer free inspections and a replacement at little cost to the home owner. They are ripping off the insurance company and putting an inferior product on your home.

Call any shingle manufacturer. They will guarantee their product for 25 plus years if installed correctly. Some will do 40 years with special shingles. If my shingles fail after 15 years. I am going after the manufacturer. This is the biggest roofing insurance scam going.
I agree, just cause you get new roof don’t mean it won’t leak from snotty installation. My neighbor new roof leaks when the old on wasn’t.
