It seems all this began a comple of years ago. I noticed that almost every other house in Liberty Park had a sign out front to the effect that Joe's & Moe's roofing company was replacing their roofing. I asked about this and learned that the roofing company rang the door bells and told the owner that, if they would like the company inspect their roof, they would turn in a claim to the home owner's insurance to the effect that the roofing was damaged and need replacing immediately. To make the cheese more binding, the roofing company would submit a claim far in excess of the actual costs for the home owner would not have to end up paying a deductable.

Since then, I am hearing that the roofing in The Villages are not expected to last more than 10 years. I lived in St. Pete, Tampa, Sarasota, Tallahassee and Jacksonville and there was never any such longevity. I've two companies ring my doorbell asking to allow and inspection. My insurance company says, ain't no way. If need be the insurance company will have an inspector come and check things out.

Am I dillusioned or should I get one of these guys up on my roof ASAP?
So what problem are you having with your roof? Some scammer knocked on door told you bunch of falsehood? Now you think you need new roof. No problem they cost between 11 and 20 plus thousand. You’re bout 2 year late to cash in on Insurance scam. Rest of use suffering because of it.
I call the scammers 3 tab hunters. The see 3 tab roof you can her brakes squeal thinking the got fish on hook.
