The roof is under contract to be replaced because it has only about five years left. There is NOTHING wrong with the roof at this time, but we did have two leaks one about 5 years ago which was the fault of the original builder not closing off the ends of the ridge vent. and one late last fall. We were officially told the insurance industry in Florida has completely changed the rules of the game.
The roof will be replaced and if it forces us out of Florida the house will sell with no problem, location, location.
I was hoping to hear from someone who might have been in the same position to know what they did. There MUST be someone out there who will insure our home for the right price!
