So, why was new roof needed? Did old song and dance come to play it’s old or scam insurance won’t insurance, or was there leak , warped shingles or losing sand? Knowing what we know about insurance scams in Florida are scams making there way to Ma.?

The strange part was that a new roof in MA is only worth $38 in home insurance premium. . Yet, companies are not insuring houses with >10 year old roofs. . . |

IMO insurance companies not in business to give out good deals, just enough deal to undercut competitors….maybe good investment, roof replacement not going to cheaper that’s for sure. |

That being said, screw the cold and snow, I’d rather shovel sunshine all winter and have to replace the shingles every 15 years. On another note, the forecast at our northern home is for temperature to drop into the 40’s tomorrow night. It’s getting close to that time of the year when the early snowbirds begin exercising their wings for the upcoming southern migration. Football season starts next week, the leaves are beginning to start changing color on a couple of our maple trees, Sam Adam’s Octoberfest beer just hit the shelves, and the fall county fairs are beginning to open up. Dam, the time goes by fast. |

In OKC 2001 I replaced my hail damages roof (hail size of racketballs) with metal roof after new shingled roof 3 years before. One and done, 14 years still looked like new. Cost then for 2200 sf was 12,900, shingled roof was 9500. My neighbor’s had to replace their roofs again due to hail size racketball or larger. My roof had couple small dings. IMO as home owner I should be able to put any kind roof on my house, now in population closed area color can be limited but roof types no. Developers has metal roof on all there buildings with no restriction on style or type. Besides who actually looks up at roof anyway.

Keep in mind shingles last about half the time they are suppose to in Florida heat and direct sun.

![]() Would be true here except that we want to sell the house next spring, and prefer a well maintained house, rather than my parent's home, which I just sold with 20 year old appliances and 60 year old furnishings and decor. . the electrical wiring was horrendous by today's standards, room lighting all by single whale oil lamps with electric starts ![]() ![]() ![]() |
