What has been your experience with a 10+ year old roof as it relates to insurability? I am not thrilled about buying a home only to be put in a situation of spending thousands of dollars right out of the gate to replace the roof. Your input is greatly apprciated!

A quick question; with insurance companies not wanting to write policies for roofs over 15 years old, I would think that this would lead to homeowners installing cheaper roofs with a 15 year warranty. Why pay more for a 20 year warranty covered roof, when you will need to replace it in 15 regardless (assuming you have a mortgage on it.)
