Did you live in a newer neighborhood then? Most roofs last 10-15 years.

We are with State Farm, in a 20 year old house, and they've never mentioned our roof to us.

I bought a house in 2020, nobody complained about the roof. Now trying to sell my Mom’s house. RE Agent told me that I would need to replace the roof as a condition of the sale.

Listing a house in louisiana these days you need to

- replace the roof
- pump the septic tank
- replace the water heater
- service or replace the air conditioner
- re paint everything
- leave the fridge freezer washer and dryer.

Condition or age of anything be damned.

I’ll probably be dead so I don’t give a shite. And if I’m not it means we are wealthier than we are now and I won’t give a shite

I tried to switch to Farm Bureau last year and was told any roof older than 7 years old they would not accept.

You probably weren't paying attention. I know there's a lot of things I didn't notice or paid no mind to when I was growing up. It just didn't register as something worth considering.

I put a new roof on my house about 5 years ago. To a 12 y/o that would have happened when he was 7. It's not like he would care about that. By the time I put another roof on the house, that 12 y/o will be graduating college and moving on with his life. To him it "never happened."
