THE 15-YEAR TIME BOMB: Why North Carolina Homeowners Are Getting DROPPED!

Tick. Tock. Can you hear that?

It’s not a clock on your wall. It’s your roof. And for thousands of homeowners across North Carolina—from the foggy peaks of Boone to the sunny docks of Wilmington—that timer is about to hit zero.

We are seeing a massive shift in the insurance world that is leaving families exposed, uninsured, and panicked. Carriers are tightening their belts, and if your roof is over 15 years old, you might be standing on a financial trapdoor.

The "Old" Rules Are Gone

Back in the day, you could have a 20 or even 25-year-old roof and still get premier coverage. Those days are fading faster than a sunset over the Outer Banks.

Because of rising material costs and severe weather patterns hitting the Tar Heel State, insurance carriers are changing the game. 15 years is the new expiration date.

If your roof hits that 15-year mark, many big-name carriers are sending out non-renewal notices. Or worse, they are switching your policy from "Replacement Cost" (buying you a new roof) to "Actual Cash Value" (paying you pennies on the dollar based on depreciation).

Why is NC in the Crosshairs?

Look outside! We live in one of the most beautiful, yet volatile states in the country.

• The Coast: Hurricanes and tropical storms batter roofs with wind and water.
• The Triad & Charlotte: Sudden hail storms turn shingles into Swiss cheese.
• The Mountains: Heavy snow loads and high winds test structural integrity.

Insurance companies are nervous. But you don't have to be.
