Our class today is about roofs. And their relation to insurance. As always, unintended consequences will cause greater problems than the perceived fix. Insurance companies are limiting the ages of roofs that they will insure. As a seller, if your roof is 20 years old and in great shape, a buyer may not be able to get insurance because of roof age. Insurance companies don’t care about quality, just age. So, naturally, when sellers have to replace their quality roof solely on the basis of age, they will replace it with the least expensive and lowest quality roof just to meet the age requirement. As lower quality roofs are installed, they will fail more often causing more damage and more claims. It will be a downward cycle. I’d like to think others will be upstanding and spend more to put in a better roof but history suggests otherwise. When you are selling your house, make sure you consult with your realtor and insurance agent in advance. Or, just call me. 🙂
