My roof is 17 years old. There are 4 slopes on my roof. 2 slopes are in bad shape. (shingles curling) The other 2 aren't too bad. My insurance company said they won't pay anything toward the new roof. Is there a suggestion I can mention to insurance company to have them consider helping me out?

I am afraid they are all right. To save some money ask some friends to help in ground clean up and then work a deal with roofing company to reduce price for clean-up help. most hate to do the search and bend routine and may welcome the help with a slight discount.

Insurance companies won't pay anything towards a new roof unless a storm or something comes through and causes damage. Normal wear and tear on your home and the stuff inside isn't usually covered by insurance.
If you are talking about a home warranty, however, you MIGHT be able to get them to pay for a [small] portion of your roof if you can convince them that they'll be out fixing a lot of leaks if it isn't replaced. Good luck doing that though, as most home warranties say they will not cover the cost of a new roof.

Insurance companies do not pay for aging roofs that go bad. They only pay if there is storm damage. I can think of nothing you could say that will change their policies. No pun intended.

Acermill is authentic. Did those roofers "verbally" provide help to realize that your guarantee could be invalidated if there replaced into no ridge vent, or did they instruct you "extremely" on the guarantee settlement that it states this? because of this economy, many roofers, contractors etc could "consume" expenses to get artwork, and in case you pass with somebody else they get no earnings. in case you nevertheless experience that it particularly is owed, then report a grievance with the coverage branch interior the state the place you reside. yet interior the top consequence is that in case you probably did not have a ridge vent, then they don't owe for something that they are in consequence not changing. stable success

Sorry it sounds like your roof is just worn from the weather. This isn't covered by your insurance, sorry.
