Default roof insurance rip off

Yes, the downside for the homeowner is that his insurance premium will go up higher than everyone else. The homeowner will also have a much harder time getting insured once they quit or get dropped. Insurance companies aren't stupid and know when they're being scammed. The roof claim will be flagged for all other insurance companies to see. That owner will save money on that roof but will lose money in the long run. Apex roofing is a scam outfit and I question their work.
