As for the insurance Our townhome association went to renew our insurance 2 years ago. The insurance company said our "25 year roof warranty" was really only good for 20 years. We were at 19 years and the roof had to be replaced or they would not insure us.. Needless to say they have got you by the short hairs.

We jumped on this real quick and got some good prices before the "rush"..It was still a good chunk of change. Many inmates in our complex were upset needless to say. We had a "roof reserve fund" but still had to pay a good bit. Some condo/townhomes did not have reserves and are now screaming about the high cost....
