Every insurance company has its own underwriting guidelines, and they
will vary by state as well. A roof that's acceptable up here in
Washington may be unacceptable down in California because of their
greater fire risks, while a roof that's acceptable in California may be
unacceptable up here because of our wet climate.
I don't know of any insurance company up here that refuses to write any
flat roofs, but lots of them are picky about what types of flat roofs
they will accept.
