INSURANCE SAVE

Allstate Said Replace — We Said No

Modesto, CA  ·  February 2026

✓  $38,000 Saved

The Challenge

The Hendersons received a non-renewal notice from Allstate citing roof age (17 years) as the disqualifying factor. Their only option, according to the insurer, was a full tear-off and replacement estimated at $38,000.

The roof had weathered well. There was surface granule loss consistent with normal aging, but no structural failure, no active leaks, and no evidence of storm damage. The non-renewal was an actuarial decision, not an engineering one — and we were able to challenge it.

Our Approach

We followed a systematic process to assess the situation and develop the right solution:

1

Thorough physical inspection with 147 documented photos

2

Granule adhesion testing and shingle core samples

3

Formal written inspection report citing NRCA standards

4

RoofMaxx certification documentation submitted to Allstate

5

Treatment completed within 5 days of policy review initiation

The Solution

Full RoofMaxx treatment plus a 5-year transferable certification showing roof condition and expected remaining lifespan.

The Outcome

$38,000 Saved

Allstate renewed the policy after reviewing our documentation. Treatment cost: $4,850. Replacement avoided: $38,000. Policy premium actually decreased slightly due to improved roof condition report.

“I didn't even know this was an option. I thought I was going to have to take out a loan. Infinite Roofing handled everything and Allstate backed down completely.”
