Insist all they want if no damage or leakage why replace it? But, most will deduct for ages of things in house like water heaters, air handler, condition of driveways, house outside siding, and roofs, calculate all that when make offer. NO reason under normal conditions roof in Florida shouldn’t last 20 to 30 years. Where I come from lucky get 10 years without beat off by golfball or bigger hail let along straight line winds. My roof was 19 years old and was in great condition like 90% in my area. But, when somebody got free roof of pea size hail the scam was in.
