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.

We just sold our home in Hemingway and filled out a form for owner transfer warranty with Owens Corning for the shingles, but they did not mention a tranfer fee. Was it TV or Owens Corning that indicated there was a transfer fee? We closed in August and want to make sure we have completed what is necessary for the new owners. Any additional information is appreciated. Thank you.
