I am aware of eight other homes in summerhill, that also have had their shingles replaced for the same reason. Being cautious by nature, i contacted the villages home warranty office concerning my roof, and lo and behold, because i didn't pay the $100.00 transfer fee, for the roofing shingles warranty, within sixty days after closing, i don't have a warranty on my shingles. The villges does not warrant the roofing shingles. The owens corning co. Warrants the shingles, and they control the limits of the warranty. It doesn't matter that i wasn't informed about the transfer fee, i was told it was my duty to perform undo diligence and make the transfer. If you are considering a resale located in the village of summerhill and south of cr 466, please beware, and inquire about the roofing shingles transfer fee. I have been quoted $6800.00 for a new roof.

i'm assuming you are talking about only resales, not the new ones right? Or on a new one you also have to pay a transfer fee? From the villages who built it to the first owner?
