In this video Dmitry travels to F-Wave headquarters in Burleson, TX to put their product to the test. Is this the best shingle on the market? Is it hail proof? Does Dmitry recommend it for your home?
This video is a MUST SEE!
F-Wave Hail-Proof Shingles are a Huge Component of the Roofing Industry
Here are a few positives to the F-Wave Shingles:
1. They are not made from asphalt or rubber. Instead, they’re developed from thermoplastic.
2. They don’t contain granules. This makes them safe, easy to carry, and convenient because they don’t leave a mess on the jobsite.
3. F-Waves are flexible. They’re easy to cut and are difficult to break.
4. The wind ratings on them are fantastic. Good luck picking them up.
5. I like my shingles to have style, and F-Waves do. They come in bundles of six, are light and neatly packaged, plus they have an array of colors you can mix and match to the contours of your home.
6. If there is ever a problem, these shingles are easy to fix. By applying heat to affected areas, dents, foot traffic, and hail damage can all be remedied. Of note: F-Waves offer the best hail resistance, to go along with the best warranties in the business.
7. F-Waves are very consistent in their functionality. Imagine you’re a robot, or a car in Elon Musk’s Tesla factory. Pretty cool, huh? These are not your grandfather’s shingles. F-Waves are top-end, reliable pieces of equipment that make for unparalleled efficiency.
8. The best part? You can get your hands on this product today. My company will be offering them both in Orlando and Minneapolis. Other companies in our network also offer this product, but don’t fret: I am not HomeAdvisor, meaning I will not sell your information to low-level contractors who are clueless regarding this excellent product. At Roofing Insights, I value my quality and reputation. It’s what has gotten me this far and is what will continue to propel this company forward.
***
Since here at Roofing Insights my team spent many hours testing F-Wave shingles, I feel it is my obligation to be diligent and share what we feel are some shortcomings on the product.
Some of my concerns:
1. Will F-Waves last without fading? If you bought F-Waves back in 2015, then your 50-year warranty will extend until 2065. My research leads me to believe that the shingles will last that long, but guaranteeing the product’s shelf-life is something I am currently unable to do.
2. I mentioned earlier the shingles are hail-resistant and are backed by an airtight warranty. The shingles were deemed hail-resistant after being run through a gauntlet of tests, but those were man-made and not an exact replication of actual outdoor conditions. Again, I don’t want to guarantee this product won’t break, because if it does, I will be the first person people assign blame to.
But the bottom line is this: F-Waves outshine all other available options, such as cedar, metal, and asphalt. While the cost of F-Waves is nearly double, it is an investment you will be happy to have made.

So you’re telling me this product is literally in my hometown where I live and work, and I’ve had no idea.
UA-cam connects
Justin, where are you located?
tim lastovica burleson Texas, I work for century roofing and construction right on Renfro street
My man, you should be in the review business in addition to the roofing business. This is how you give an honest presentation on your findings. Excellent job.
I like the "walk on" aspect. I have a low pitch single story ranch, and I like using my leaf blower to blow my gutters out at least once in the spring, and once in the fall. Normally I wouldn't think of walking on a roof, but for cleaning gutters, this is the way. This product is probably going to be my next material for my next roof.
It’s an amazing product and your video is well done!
I’ve installed this product in the Denver area and people should know that the installers need to go slow and doublecheck their measurement and chalk lines often.
This product can easily be installed incorrectly and literally make the roof look crooked. I’ve seen it happen on other installs and about 200 sqft had to be re-done. If that would gone unchecked then the whole roof would need to be re-done.
F-Wave will offer a product engineer on your first install which will help a great deal and after that you are pretty much on your own so great care must be taken to make sure it’s done right.
Do you install by chance? I'm looking at using this on a house in longmont..
After a hail storm in early 2021…we had our roof replaced with F-WAVE. Now, we decided to have the solid decking replaced with 3/4” plywood. In addition to that…the underlayment was done with ice & water shield. Now question??!!! Why did we went that route?? Because we have two massive pecan trees that are canopying the entirety of the house. The roof is holding on beautifully. Now February 2023…central Texas got hit w/an ice storm…pretty hard. This unfortunately damaged our two trees and they’ll have to be removed. During this ice storm…the accumulation on the trees was around 3”+ in diameter. So from the inside of our home…it sounded like the roof was getting bombarded. It’s still holding on amazing. The owner of company that did our roof…he has his roof done w/the same product.
If you like good innovation please help us spread the word: like, share or comment! Give F Wave 👍 for their hard work. Don’t forget to subscribe if you like our content!
Great video. Of course anyone would be leery of a "new" product. Thank-you, Dmitry, for your honesty at the end of the video. I plan to check out the product tomorrow at my local dealer. Time for a new roof this year! Metal vs. Asphalt vs. F-Wave... Game on!!!
I'm a roofer w 20 years experience. I know that TPO membrane used in flat roofing becomes very brittle after 7-10 years. Once this happens hail impacts will cause severe damage to the membrane. The damage looks just like a spiderweb crack on a windshield that's been hit by a rock.
The F-Wave Revia has made believers out of us and we've been installing it in Austin, Texas and surrounding areas following two severe hailstorms in 2021. F-Wave installs have already filled up our January schedule. It's impressed me so much that I've personally installed it on my own home. Honestly, it's not the cost of F-Wave you should be concerned about but what it's costing you NOT to upgrade to a product like this. How many times are you willing to shell out thousands of dollars in deductibles and high premiums and get the same crummy subpar asphalt shingles that cannot withstand one mild to sever hailstorm?
Here in Texas, severe & catastrophic hail is a real possibility here. Not once, but multiple times a year. The insurance game is a vicious cycle and your trusted local roofing contractor is in on it. Very rarely is a client educated on Class 4 upgrades. Why? Because your roofer wants to replace your roof as many times as possible. I want to see homeowners break out of this cycle and actually investing in their homes.
With the rising costs of insurance, roofing products & property values, it makes perfect sense to upgrade to F-Wave. The value is there just in saved deductibles, never mind the ROI and curb appeal this product offers. If your insurance covers the cost to replace your roof then you're in the best position to upgrade. We're already pivoting and making the Revia our featured product moving forward and separating ourselves from the pack and from asphalt shingles as much as possible. Every roofing contractor says they install the best roofs in town. Duh! But, if he or she is installing asphalt shingles in areas susceptible to severe hail multiple times a year, that is a false statement.
If you want to know more about the Revia, I wrote a blog about it a few months ago. Feel free to contact us with any questions.

Plastic is known to degrade in the sun. Hope they have this problem worked out. Some kind of shielding element or impervious compound.
I've sold two of these roofs now and they both looked amazing and install was so easy!! We've tested them in our shop and nothing could break them.
Thank you so much for taking time to write feedback! Appreciate the feedback!
Roofing Insights love the channel! You've actually created the company I work for...Apple Roofing!
Question is After 5 to 7 years in extreme heat and cold it would be very interesting if that plastic does not deteriorate and become vulnerable to hail breaking the shingles up. Only time will tell.
time will show
We know from other products that such materials get brittle. So, I dont know if this is a niche product for hail specifically or is there something to it that hot(90-120) climates with freeze cold winters would hold up for 20+ years...? I wonder what the warranty is like?
Good and honest review. I am a normal consumer, not a roofer. It surprises me that here in the year 2020, we are still producing 10-25 year asphalt roofs.
It surprises me because technology should have caught up with the market by now. F-Wave looks like a good alternative. In my opinion for a $$$ thousand dollar roof on a traditional house (ie here in Austin TX), all the roofs should be lasting 50 years. Instead they all have the particles fall off, and the shingles fail in 20 years or less. I call that a failure in the roofing manufacturer's technology. Because I sure don't have to replace house siding or interior sheetrock every 20 years!
You dont get it do you ? If roofing materials were that durable you woudl put roofers AND manufacturer es out of business, so they have no incentive to move ind infection to point out.
@@johnwhite2576 LOL good point.
I am getting an f-wave roof installed in Round Rock. I say that "Asphalt is the roof of all evils"
@@roundrockguy It looks like an impressive product. I agree that asphalt shingles pretty much suck. I think the standard shingles are there so the roofing industry can make money. What a crap design (standard shingles).
John White hit the point..As in cars and fuel. We should have had hydro tech running cars decades or a centruy ago, but it is not profitable to the industry that protects and lines its pockets.
Whats the cost though?
Just starting to see interest in this product. Thanks for the vid so I can share with prospects!
I wonder how it would do for a HOT climate, like Florida or even hotter, Arizona or Los Angeles?? Los Angeles gets 90-115F heat then in winter gets 37F cold for a few times, and the rain. How will the shingle using TPO hold up in such swings of temp over the years? This is the test many would want to know. How are their lab tests in this? Maybe it makes for a hotter attic or maybe noisier when it rains, or?
texas is pretty hot
Depends on the cost .
"The only product"? ... I thought Euroshield (GEM) has the same hail performance.
I have very little experience with similar products. I think that the price is the biggest problem. I hope that, as the product becomes more popular, the price will drop enough to make homeowners more likely too consider it! Love your videos. Keep up the good work.
so what does it cost per square???
Great unbiased video. I have an Engineering interview with Fwave so doing my homework.
Really helped me in deciding. Thanks.
Did you evaluate for heat or wildland fire resistance to sparks and fire ash? Since it is plastic, i wonder if it rates better than ashalt on these conditions. The wind and hail resistance looks impressive.
Also, is it considered a cool roof
Thanks for the review. Considering getting these as our "class 4 hail resistant" shingles are already possibly needing replacement after only 8 years in Colorado hail. Cost of FWave is more than double, but maybe it's worth it for a more permanent solution?
I prefer Euroshield over F wave for hail
@@RoofingInsights3.0 , because of the cost, or the performance? Or some of both? Thanks.
FYI: It was June, 1980 and I was in Denver, CO. We had a hail storm so bad, it dented the trim on my car. So, Denver is no stranger to hail storms.
Brilliant!
Any updates on F Wave & Euroshield ..Lucky that in Los Angeles hail has never been an issue..and earthquakes only knock over chimneys..
Looks like a great product. Price for sure is more the asphalt shingles but it's up to the homeowner to make his decision about cost. My question is how this product will last with the heat and sun in southern California? Does it meet the requirements of cool roof (socal requires cool roof)?
Right!
Hello,
I have done a tremendous amount of research out of necessity on roofing products as a consumer. I live in Colorado, and we were blessed to have a semi-custom home built and completed in 2016.
The hail has gotten worse in the last five or so years, from a size aspect. So, our new home with Class 4 asphalt shingle roofing has been destroyed twice already by hailstones (2016 and 2019).
I nearly just replaced the roof again with the similar Class 4 asphalt shingle and instead started down the investigative route of finding a product that would stand up to the Colorado hail.
This was when the F-Wave product entered into our plan. My insurance will not cover the additional cost; however, as you remarked in this exceptional product review, “Do the right thing.”
I am moving ahead and having F-Wave installed, as I conclude it will work as developed and was made to feel better about our conclusion after watching your product review. Thank you very much for doing what you do by aiding consumers and the industry with the actuality. I am a big fan!
On a related note about the F-Wave product acceptance, my HOA approved the F-Wave product for usage. This is a considerable deal in my neighborhood. I found out that a well known, iconic, enormous, and exclusive resort hotel not far from me just utilized the F-Wave product to repair their roof as well. This assisted me, as I understand, they are an international destination resort hotel that has some remarkable talent working for them.
I do have two quick follow up questions:
1). Is the Vermont Slate available for installation presently?
2). Which of the F-wave styles do you speculate might look the nicest on a Craftsman-style gable roof ranch, garden level, twenty-foot ceilings, stucco home with four-foot moss/granite-like stone along the bottom of the outside walls and all of the bases of the pillars, and wooden beams, shutters, and an oversized heavy wooden rustic front door - all wood stained Behr Padre Brown at the peaks and porch areas? The trim and gutters are painted a dark olive green with the primary color of the stucco being the color Porpoise by Behr.
I am inquiring because if you felt one of the F-Wave styles popped better than the others, we would find it valuable to know.
(I am embarrassed - if you now believe that our home must look ridiculous because I am shocking awful at illustrating it and survive these types of conditions mostly because I can take a picture)
All the best from beautiful Douglas County, Colorado
How did your f-wave install go? I am waiting for mine to get my f-wave roof installed after we lost an asphalt roof to hail and after losing another asphalt one to wind.
Thanks for sharing these videos.
I could not help but notice in this video the deck underneath was busted from the hail but the shingles were intact. Question without going into the attic how will the busted plywood (decking) be replaced?
What would be the easiest way to replace these if needed?? Shingle and decking?
Is underlayment required???
Would you just take a look at it!
How does it do with moss growing on the single
compare with stone coated metal roof which is better
I'll wait and see how the "coming soon" shingles are priced in comparison to CertainTeed Northgate and Malarkey Legacy XL shingles. I don't expect them to be less, only more affordable. My house does not need such a high end shingle as the Designer Series that f-wave now offers.
It is available now
What kind of testing did they put the shingles under? Did they expose the shingles to extreme temperatures for extended periods of time? I would expect some sort of stability testing to prove the concept since the technology is only a few years old.
Hi Jeff, we have subjected our product to all the same ASTM testing that other shingles are subjected to to be able to be sold in the United States. Freeze thaw is certainly one of those and in those tests are expansion contraction rate was very minimal, less than 1 mm.
How do they simulate 50 years of UV degradation?
@@mobleyMobley yes, testing methods are important. Like the other comment, for hot climates like So Cal that do drop to freezing in winter but get 90F for long periods then 110+F and then the winter.
I love the "Hail Yes" t-shirt.
Great review! Getting ready to install F wave on my house. My concern is that they would become brittle over time as well. This is directly from F wave website: “F-wave’s REVIA Synthetic Shingles, on the other hand, are engineered for maximum durability. Because they have zero granules, they won't become brittle, and their performance won’t deteriorate over time.” Does this make sense, that just because they don’t have granules they won’t become brittle? Doesn’t make sense to me.
And after speaking with F wave rep today, they say their accelerated 25 year testing shows that they should not become brittle. They expect super longevity. But I guess we will see. In my opinion, we know for a fact that asphalt shingles will become brittle and deteriorate, so might as well try a new product if there’s a chance that it won’t become brittle and has all the other benefits as well
@@LDubsChannel Perhaps...The first reply for Luke sounds like it avoids the question. I would like to see those tested shingles, and know how they tested it. I would consider these in a hot climate even, that hardly gets hail at all, but, if it outlasts asphalt by a large enough time, it maybe with using. So which comes to the bottom line..the warranty!
@@LDubsChannel In my area, which gets hail, still a Malarkey roof on a home from 1989. I go with what's proven.
An innovative product. My concern is how well the plastic will stand up to years and years of sunlight. Plastics usually don't do so well under constant heat and IR from the sun. I read their hail warranty. It's nice to see someone actually warrant their shingle against hail damage. They problem is that you must get a certification from a local government agency that the hail was not greater than 2 inches in diameter. That's impossible to certify unless the certifying agency was right there at your house during the hail storm. The hail warranty is only good for 5 years, too. I couldn't justify the cost unless I planned on living in my house for who knows how long. A 50 year warranty means nothing when the average person moves every seven years. Very few people live in the same house for even twenty years. When you sell your house I doubt the buyer is going to care so much about the warranty on the roof. Read the warranty and note that the warranty does transfer, but not at near the level of the original warranty.
Good points, we actually mention it as well. It has been tested, and “years” can be tested in labs faster as well. We do hope and believe it will last, but time will show. One thing is certain: it performs better than asphalt shingles. And it hailed every year in some markets. I would rather install F wave than dealing with claims every other year. Even if it’s only last 10 years, it will justify the cost.
All shingles manufactured in the United States have to meet a standard of 2000 hours of intense UV testing, each hour is equal to 1.83 days of sunlight. That is around ten years of sunlight. Our product has been tested to 4500 hours which is just under 25 years of sunlight.
Interesting product. Pliability seems really good. Wondering if TPO gets more brittle over time. How come no one is making a PVC shingle like IB membrane? Perhaps limitations in finish?
Good point, time will show
CeDur is a PVC shingle
How does it do against fire? Is the material fire retarder?
The product looks impressive. How strong is the company behind it? What do you know?
Excellent product! I guess it's expansive because the production line is about 100 times slower than typical bitumen shingles factory. I believe if there is huge demand and the guys will speed up their line - the price will become much more affordable
I don’t think it’s slower process....
Roofing Insights bitumen shingles manufactures produces about 1 pallet per minute or even faster. Here is much slower speed
They are in process of building plant. Once it’s built it will be competitive. Speed will not be a problem.
@@RoofingInsights3.0 lets hope it will decrease the price :)
We had the line going at it's absolute slowest to cut down on noise for this video.
How do you install it? What tools do you need? What underlayments are acceptable for it? Is there only one style - slate look - available?
Hi Christopher, we have multiple styles to choose from. Our product is installed very similar to asphalt shingles. It cuts with a straight blade utility knife instead of a hook blade and it can be installed over any synthetic underlayment.
My original comment was deleted for some reason.
I’m skeptical because a lot of roofs I work on that are TPO/PVC get red algae. I know shingles can get that, but your premium ones have copper in them to help keep your roof looking nice. The shingle has granules that can help with grip some. What happens when these get red algae and you try to “walk” on your roof?
Houses have shady areas and I could see these getting dirty real quick, which will make them slippery. How do you clean them when they get dirty? With shingles you can add those copper strips you made a video on a little while back, but for these I don’t see anyway to keep them clean.
I like the idea of new types of roofs coming out for home owners, but I’d stick to a premium shingle or get a metal roof if I’m spending this kind of money. I’d have to give it another 5-10 years to see how this is going before I’d consider it.
Stone coated metal roofs do not fail due to hailstone impacts but they may show massive dents due to these impacts and insurance companies do not pay claims for cosmetic damages. In addition, the interlocking metal roofing systems are very hard to impossible to replace single damaged shingles. You have to work your way up t o the damaged shingle and replace all the lower metal shingles due to the interlocking nature of the metal roof.
Regular asphalt roofs get algae moss as well trust me, and it’s really NOT a good idea to pressure wash thsoe with attendant granules loss ! These arte bound to be better
The real question is longevity. Plastic usually doesn't hold up real well in the sun for 20 years.
I live in Cape Coral Florida
There’s is a vendor near me?
Could you do a video on whether 6 inch gutters are needed on residential homes? Benefits/Hype?
thanks
That all boils down to how large and how steep each slope is. A proper flowing 5" gutter can shed the water on a 10 square straight gable 4/12 slope. Make that a 10 square straight gable 8/12 and 6" is necessary.
It’s not about residential or commercial but size of the roof. One thing for sure is: always go with bigger size downspouts. 6” gutter will work for most residential roofs (unless you have huge slopes) but regular 2x3 down spouts rarely can keep up the water flow (3x4 cost slightly more but it double capacity: 12 square inches VS 6) and usually make all the difference
@@RoofingInsights3.0 realistically, a gutter crew is going to charge maybe $.50 more per LF on 6", but we can upsell it at $1.50 to $2 per LF. Or I can discount it and sell a decent mesh gutter guard with it and still be at half of what Leaf Filter or other gutter protection systems want to charge. The choice to go to 6" with 3x4" downs is an easy one to make for the homeowner, as long as the salesman knows how to pitch the idea.
In your video I think you said that you were located in Orlando Fl. If that is so how do I contact you for a quote?
Where is the price list for these shingles? I do not see you comparing metal roofs with asphalt shingles. Why?
Whats the cost per square ? Does normal roof structure have the capability to support this shingle type ?
It installs just like normal shingles and is actually lighter than asphalt shingles, so yes, any roof in decent shape should have no problem supporting F-wave's product.
@@medavis thanks so much
I drove through a neighborhood with 2 year old houses in Pflugerville Texas that had 2 inch hail. There was one house on the street had f-wave and it was the only house w/o a roofer's sign in front of it. The other houses had designer shingles and metal, even the metal roofs were being replaced. That sold me. I'd be curious what accessories you recommend to go w/ f-wave. I am upgrading to Titanium 50 underlayment and bullet boots, anything else? I believe the roof system is only as good as the weakest link.
We've installed F-Wave a few times in the Austin area this year. This includes the area affected by the 4/15 storm you're referring to. We install 24-gauge T & D style drip-edges, a variety of the higher grade synthetic underlayment, bullet boots, StormGuard, W Metal valleys as well as ensuring proper ventilation. We are making F-Wave our primary moving forward as standard asphalt shingles are a subpar product here in Central Texas. They simply do not hold up! Good choice by upgrading to the F-Wave. It has certainly made a believer our of us!
@@BalconesRoofing Thanks, I saw your work on F-wave's website. Nicely done. I wish I had gotten a quote from you. I ended up going with another roofer, but I insisted on the 24-guage T & D and bullet boots. Apparently my job was the first to use ice/water shield as much as F-wave recommends, 2 feet along eaves and rakes into the interior wall and in hips/valleys and penetrations. I also had my roofer add soffit vents as my house had none on the front and remove a ridge vent over a lower dormer. I love how you do all that standard, I had to get my roofer to add all of these into the contract. Apparently he had no idea how much some of the things I was asking for cost as he claimed he lost money on my roof, but said he learned a lot. F-wave is great. It is so sad to see all of the new asphalt roofs going in knowing it will take one hail storm to destroy them again.
@@roundrockguy Yeah, it doesn't make a lot of sense to offer an upgrade like this just to skimp on everything else. We install per the manufacturer's specifications and recommendations and then some. Each job has goes through a full cost analysis so we can be as accurate as possible with pricing instead of offering a price per square.
@@BalconesRoofing I love the way you do it. My roofer ordered normal drip edge in my custom color but I refused to let them begin until they ordered the T and D I specified in 24 gauge. It delayed the project but I didn't care. My house has large gables and a lot of rake ends so it really mattered to me. He also messed up in letting me specify UDL50 and it isn't even available in central Texas. To compensate for the sub to Tigerpaw at least he threw in gutters over our front porch where we needed it. If we move to another house, or have some major disaster I know who I will call - you.
I will be looking into become a dealer out of North Dakota for these
What supplier?
Does it require open valleys? If not, how do you lap the valleys?
I read the installation instructions and open valleys are recommended. Non-granulated Ice & water shield under valley metal.
I would like to install one. .
Even Owens Corning and others come up with new products all the time at the expense of consumers who they treat as test subjects (guinea pigs). This fact alone invalidates the concern that F- Wave Revian shingles are too new in the market. These companies would be hypocrites to make such arguments. If they do, Owens Corning, GAF, and others need to do some serious self-searching/examination.
It does have same installation process than asphalt?
Yes, it does
Please recommend the best roofing contractors in Fort Worth, Texas specializing in F-Wave shingle installation? Thank you.
Reinke aluminum shingles won't crack.
Can solar panels be installed on top of them ?
Yes, I don’t see why not
Are they Recyclable? And are they easily repaired if there is damage on the roof.?
Hail yes
Are insurance companies giving homeowners a discount if F wave shingles are installed?
Most do so as it is class-4 hail and class-a fire.
Would you look at it!
Would you look at it!
@@RoofingInsights3.0 thats my new catch line. thanks
What's the cost per bundle/square?
Our price falls somewhere between high-end thick asphalt shingles and stone coated Steel
In my Colorado market Its about $295 per sq just for the 6 bd of shingles, not including the ridge and other install materials
Looks like the Owens Corning Mira Vista.
What is the cost per bundle?
How much does it cost per square
Call them to get your price
We can answer the $ questions... Between high-end heavyweight shingle and stone coated Steel
Suggested selling price $600/SQ but I'd charge more for all the warranties you're going to fulfill when it doesn't work.
so do you have to add the additional glue or is it already part of the shingle?
I watched another video of this install, but they were not putting glue behind the shingle.
The glue comes on the shingle. There is a video out there of the unpackaging that shows it.
Not big fan of the cost ... i can have euroshield that does the same for 200$ sq less.
How much are they?
Euroshield is class-C fire rated, not class-A. That makes big difference in areas near wilderness.
Is it just me but there were some really awkward moments in this interview..
👊
Before selling this to a homeowner please damage it and leave it out in the sun with no heat gun to see if it actually works. 4 days in the sun and our samples were still damaged.
Really?
Yessir. Not hating. Their rep is super nice and I was excited about the product until my office tested it.
I would test it again. I scratched it beyond believe (you can see in video) and heat gun took super deep scratch out. Shingles and rubber would be in garbage after that dent
@@RoofingInsights3.0 , any updates on confirming the David's concerns above ? . . . I am looking at roofing a new house and still on the fence as to what roofing type to go with
Insurance companies make money on hail, not lose money on hail. Insurance companies never do anything without turning a profit.
I don't see how. My premium is $750 a year and it's going to cost them $14,000, less a $2,000 deductible, to reshingle my roof. Even if they raise my premium $250 a year they'll still be waiting a long time to break even from my loss.
@@cousinfester4621 Not worried about just raising the premiums on you, but also raise them on all your neighbors. You now live in an area prone to catastrophic damage.
I think you guys are forgetting how many h.o. insurance companies screw over each year...
