Boom-era roofs look fine from the street and fail inspections anyway; granule loss and cracked pipe boots are the usual findings.
What it costs in The Villages: there is no fee to the homeowner for inspection and claim documentation — the roofer is paid from the approved claim, and your out-of-pocket is the deductible.
