So, you just had a hail storm blow through your area. Your neighbors all around you with asphalt shingles have hail damage and are calling their insurance company.

How matching laws can help pay for your roof replacement When your roof has storm damage, there are scenarios where the insurance company won't cover an entire roof replacement. If this happens, there's a "law" that can turn a repair into a new roof.
