1. The Dream Home Turns into a Stress Test
Imagine this: you just closed on your first home, a charming Craftsman built in the 1920s—full of character and promise. The roof is a little saggy, sure, but the home inspection didn’t raise huge red flags. Papers are signed, keys are in your hands, and you moved in on Sunday, feeling mostly at peace.
Then the phone rings. The insurance company wants to cancel coverage—immediately. Why? They say the roof needs a full replacement to continue insuring it. You have two weeks.

2. Panic Sets In: Mortgage, Insurance, Future—All in the Balance
Weeks—or more commonly, months—of stress begin. Without insurance, what happens to your mortgage? Will the bank drop you? Is your new home in jeopardy?
Reddit becomes a lifeline:
“If your carrier cancels your policy, your lender may source one for you. … It’s not ideal, but it might give you more time to fix the roof.”
“Get a professional roofer—if you can show you're planning to repair it, some companies may work with you.”

Why This Story Is Peak Hudson Valley Horror
Old homes are common here. Our area’s charm often comes with sagging rooflines, and that can scare insurers.
Mortgage entanglement. Losing coverage can mean forced, high-cost insurance from your bank—or even jeopardizing your loan.
