If the door to door roofer tells you that you may have a leak, because some shingles are loose, and then tells you he will tarp the roof temporarily, And then the insurance company refuses the claim, the roofer will charge $1000 plus for the tarp. With all the free roofs going up in my neighborhood, I called the original roofer who put this on when the house was new and they came and inspected it. It was 16 years old and they told me that other than a little bit of sand in the gutters, that should last another five or six years. If my insurance company decides to cancel me, I will ask them to take the roof off of the insurance and just cover everything else. Don’t know if they’ll do that, but I will be responsible for my roof.
