The man who inspects your roof is the man who oversees the work. No salespeople, no middlemen.

Many homeowners in Jacksonville are receiving letters from their insurance company threatening to drop coverage due to the age of their roof—even if it has never leaked and you've never filed a claim.
Your insurer can't refuse to renew your homeowners policy solely because your roof is under 15 years old.
If your roof is 15+ years old, Florida law requires your insurer to let you get a roof inspection — at your own expense — before it can force a full replacement as a condition of renewal. If an authorized inspector finds 5 or more years of useful life remaining, your insurer can't refuse to renew solely because of roof age (if your insurer approves).
"Your insurance questions belong with your agent. Your roof belongs with me. I will assess its physical condition and tell you exactly how many years it has left." — Rick Newman
