Florida law sets a floor for every home insurer. Is your roof under 15 years old? Then a company can't say no to a new policy or a renewal just because of roof age. Is the roof 15 years or older? Then the company must let you get a roof inspection first. You pay for it. If the roof has at least 5 years of life left, its age alone can't be the reason for a no.
