Our home is over 20 years old, but has a two month old roof and is in excellent overall condition. I dumped The Villages Insurance several years ago because of their very poor and slow communication and inability to find us competitive rates relative to an outside agency. My wife and I have owned six homes during our lives and have collectively filed a grand total of ZERO homeowners claims, but that doesn’t seem to work in our favor. I would be willing to consider signing a waiver prohibiting us from litigation for a new roof in exchange for a more reasonable rate if that’s what necessary. I would be very interested in feedback from others who have explored that option?

Your new roof should bode well for you IMO. But, if you don’t already, I would try to get written confirmation of the materials and processes used on the new roof - my assumption is it is up to the 2020 standard, but you may possibly be asked to prove it through documentation, inspector report etc.
