Insurance making me replace roof to be approved

[Mark Jajowka]

Hello everyone, wondering if anyone has been in this situation before. I am about to close on another property, but was just told that I’m going to have to replace my roof to get insured by State Farm. There are some missing shingles that I was going to have a roofer replace once I closed. Other than that the roof is good. How can I avoid getting the whole roof replaced? Go with another insurance company?

Try another company and ask the first if you can simply have the missing shingles replaces because the rest of the roof is only X years old and in good shape (assuming that is the case).
