The Truth About Your Shingles

Edna Wilson • April 18, 2022


Do you have a 30-year guarantee on your shingles? You probably do, but the truth is, it has nothing to do with the reality, there is no real guarantee on your shingles in the state of Florida. Your shingles don't last more than maybe 17 to 20 years tops, and right now with the way homeowners insurance is, they're really cracking down on that, so here's what your shingles have to do with your insurance policy. We are seeing more and more insurance companies send adjusters out into the field to just inspect your home, if they feel like your roof is too old, trust me they will ask you to replace it, and they will not be nice about it. They'll typically give you 30 to 60 days to say "New roof, now". So be very careful about 1, what roof contractor you picked, we always have a list if you need it, and make sure you don't get scammed, there are definitely ways to get a new roof at either a competitive price, or maybe even your insurance company will cover it, it just depends on if there's been damage in your area or not, but just know, your roof does have direct contact with how much your insurance policy is and how much you need to pay, so if you have any further questions, don''t hesitate to reach out to me.
