One thing you might run into is the “three tab vs four tab” shingles. Apparently the building codes now require four tab shingles. If you have an older roof with three tab shingles it cannot be repaired. I agree with the other responders, it sounds like you have an a roof that has reached the end of its life span.The insurance company will not pay and you will be hard press to find a company that will insure you with the current condition of your roof.

If you believe that your roof is covered by the terms of your policy and the weight of the evidence supports this but Farmers is, in effect, blowing you off then you should complain to the state board of insurance.
They will not ignore an inquiry from them. I have done this myself, it does keep insurors in check. If, however, you are not the OP and you think you know more about this guy's roof than he does you are wasting your time posting a reply. |

Ien....I also have Farmers and they also said I only need some shingles replaced. I hired Secure Roofing and they got Farmers to pay for a new roof ( done in January). It took a good 5 months for Secured and their arbitration department to get it approved. I only had to pay my deductible. My policy expires July 1. Excellent job by Secured.

Roof Worn
If the shingles bent, the roof has reached its end of life. The shingles aren’t as thick as first installed and lower winds can’t flex them. We haven’t had hurricane winds here in at least a year and a half.
Be honest, don’t cheat the system. Just pay to have your roof changed out. Be proud of yourself and the sound feeling of doing the right thing. Best of luck!

Ask Farmers again...
Quote:
Suddenly, in comes a letter from Farmers about how we can renew with them. The price was less than what we were finding elsewhere ??? You may do well to call them and speak to a person. Florida insurance companies were quickly floating out to sea, but it appears that the tide has turned and some are coming back. Citizen was absorbing more policies than they probably should have written as most of the state had gone to them. Insurance providers seem to be coming back. I would suggest that you speak with an underwriter from Farmers directly. You may be pleasantly surprised. I hope so for your sake! |
