Studies show if you smear ivermectin over the entire roof, 3/8" thick, your shingles will last forever.
You’re one of the ones that thinks all ivermectin is horse paste I’m assuming?? Maybe you should stop watching MSM and realize it’s made for humans and has been prescribed for decades
Ok oh wise one how much profit is made on these homes?
House building is very competitive and generally much less of a profit margin than sub-contractors get when working directly for home owners, especially in times where is an abundance of demand, like now.
I built houses for three years or so and then packed it in and went back to the commercial sector since the profit margins were exceptionally lean!

Over the past few years national builders have “grossed” somewhere in the 18% average range. I built “semi-custom” homes for about 20yrs and averaged about 14% gross. So, I would classify “pure profit”as you stated, as “net profit”- and that was about 11% with an ethical/creative accounting firm.
I've had to have lots of home repairs done lately (unfortunately). Sometimes all the workers speak English, sometimes only some do, there has always been at least one that does though and I can speak to that person about questions/concerns, etc. - as long as they do quality work, I'm happy (and NEVER assumed they were "illegal" just because they don't speak English!) - OP doesn't seem to think a company should make any profit - there are material costs, insurance costs, overhead costs, office employee costs, etc.
I don't so much question the amount of damage done as the fact that most (all?!) insurance companies PRORATE your roof. If your roof was already 10 years old when the damage was done, you may get 50% of the cost of a replacement...20 years old? Yeah, you get it all.
OP - how old was your roof?
Ever heard of "replacement cost insurance"? It pays for a new tv if yours get stolen, not the $50 yours may be worth after several years.
It also pays for the replacement cost of your roof if it is damaged enough to need replacement. My insurance company paid the full cost to replace my ten-year-old roof a year ago . . . minus the deductible, of course . . . after a severe hail storm.
If you don't have replacement cost insurance, you probably want to check into it. I didn't know anyone still bought the depreciated value type.

...sure...and depending on the age of the roof you're trying to insure you may not be able to get the replacement cost option or you may end up paying a sht-load higher premium. Just be aware that your premium will always be higher for replacement cost - whether it's worth or not for your situation.
