The joys of a new house

Let me start by saying this is all 100% true. I got home yesterday to find a letter from my insurance company telling me that they are canceling my insurance because they dont want to cover my type of roof anymore. Keep in mind I bought this insurance one month ago with no issues. AS I AM READING THIS LETTER, a drop of water fell on to it from the celing. Yes folks, my roof started to leak the INSTANT that my insurance company decided to cancel my coverage. Its leaking though a light fixture and the paint has started to bubble up. Luckily they have graciously extended my coverage to the 19th of may so I get to file a claim tonight.

Que the stress.

Wow man. Sorry to hear about that. Leaking roofs are always a pain in the ass and the pocket book. I can't believe the insurance company would cancel after one month. At least, like you said, you are still able to file a claim. Good luck to you.

My insurance would not cover my shingles blowing off because there were not enough blow off. I've had to climb up and fix mine several times, but it's finally done and last windstorm we had no new blown off shingles. I feel your pain.

Its a low slop roof and they are trying to call it a flat roof but it has a decent slop to it. Filed the claim, should be interesting.

In Maine asphalt shingles warranty is void below a 4 pitch. Less than that and you lose the warranty or you have to use something else, like epdm. Good luck.
