But good news! There is at least one honest insurance company left -- Kin. They just wrote a policy on my perfectly serviceable 16-year-old roof at a very reasonable rate. Unlike these moronic Florida companies that insist on writing full-replacement policies on a depreciating asset, Kin depreciates the coverage of the roof as it ages, so they don't have to worry about roof scammers.

This depreciation in the Kin policy ACTS like a way to keep premiums lower. Wait till the homeowner has a claim for a new roof. Will have a good case of buyers remorse.
