Will my homeowner's insurance pay for a poorly installed roof to be reinstalled?
I had a roofer come out and install a new tin roof a few years ago. I wasn't aware of this poor installation. I'm seeing some leaks here and there after heavy rains. Will my homeowner's insurance pay to replace the roof?

It sounds like you’re looking for an extended warranty, which will help cover the cost of roof replacements. These types of products are also available for cars, but independent of
