probability Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Three months in my awesome new mcm home and Nationwide canceled my insurance because we have a "flat roof." It's not actually flat, but apparently it's low-pitched enough to call flat. I'm young and ignorant...this is my first house...any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks!

LegacyTree Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 No functioning "roof" is level flat. While not a homeowner myself I've designed & spec'd plenty of commercial jobs involving parapets and resealing tar roofs, perhaps you could ask some commercial property owners who they insure with. Good luck and let us know how it works out; welcome to the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicman Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 you may end up @ texasfairplan if you can't find another company. i couldn't find a provider when i first bought my house and texasfairplan will insure if you have been rejected. i did find another company to insure me after i had some upgrades done.

hugoks Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 maybe as a peace offering you should offer the insurance agent a gross of pine needles as mulch. this being houston, there's likely lots of them sitting up on your roof. the standing water has already accelerated the decaying process.

bender Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 We had Farmers insurance for our flat roof house. It was never an issue. (this was pre-Ike, but still in this decade) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks!State Farm is where I got mine. Brian O'Rear at the Town and Country office is the place to call. I also got terminated by Nationwide and that was just after they replaced my roof!
