We did as well. The company was shockingly great to deal with. Does it make sense?
My understanding you are sort of forced to put a new roof on your home, if it is 13 years old to be able to get home owners insurance. A tile roof or metal roof should last far longer than that but the homes are not built to hold the weight of a tile roof and metal roofs are likely not permitted.
