Be very careful of anyone knocking at your door about your roof, and do NOT sign an "assignments of Benefits" form. If they say they can get your roof for no cost, this is part of the roofing scam that we are now ALL paying for. If (and I am sure they will) they find 'damage', say thank you, then call your insurer to verify damage and coverage.
Insurance does NOT cover normal wear and tear on a roof, so if yours is over 10 years old you may need a new roof.
If you sign the above form you will NO LONGER be in charge of your roof replacement, you will not be able to choose color, type of shingle on when the work will be done or by whom, and you may still end up with a significant bill.
Call Seniors Against Crime to confirm.
