This whole roof/insurance thing, is mostly a red herring.

Most insurance companies will insure a home, regardless of roof condition.

The problem is, people with 10-15 year old roofs, thinking they can get a brand new roof, if their 15 year old roof is damaged. That's just not reasonable. If a 15 year roof is damaged, your insurance should only be paying you 40%-50% of the value of the roof.
