About the site
I’m Mehran Saky, a former real estate broker and property manager. Roofs come up again and again in home sales, inspections, insurance quotes, and repair decisions. Insurance rules for older roofs are getting stricter, and the letters homeowners receive are often confusing.
I started oldroofproblems.com to explain your options in plain English, from the homeowner’s side of the table.
What you’ll find here
- Plain-English guides to insurance letters, inspections, roof certifications, and failed inspections
- Step-by-step checklists you can follow with your family
- Help finding a local roofer when you are ready
How we keep it accurate
Insurance rules change and differ by state and insurer. We check our guides against official sources such as state insurance departments, update them regularly, and tell you when to confirm a rule with your insurer or your state.
