What we should do is stop building roofs out of wood. I’m willing to bet that if we did that, homeowner insurance wouldn’t be as big of a deal as it is now
They have roofs that are built for hurricane winds, problem is, people don’t want to pay for them. So hurricane come, blow the roofs off, insurance says “too much risk, we out” and the asphalt single roof crowds say “but who will replace our roofs?!”
See the issue? If you want to protect your house, protect your house. Stop depending on insurance companies to pick up the slack where you fail to protect your house. This is Florida, not Iowa, you live in hurricane country, act accordingly.
