When we bought in 2021 the insurance company said they wouldn't insure us unless roof was under 10 years old. I saw several new roofs in the neighborhood, so I went and asked them how much they paid for theirs, and if they had heard of this 10 year rule. Not only hadn't they heard of the 10 year rule, but they couldn't say how much they paid because their roof was "free" after a guy in a truck had pulled up and asked them if they wanted a free roof. You could see the gears starting to turn and a lightbulb go off in both of our heads when we put two and two together.
