What Changed & Why It Matters for Myrtle Beach Homeowners
According to NPR's November 13, 2025 investigation, insurance companies are implementing major changes: many policies "don't cover the full cost of replacing a damaged roof," homeowners face higher deductibles (thousands out-of-pocket), and insurers are scaling back coverage for roofs over 10-15 years old. For Myrtle Beach coastal properties, this creates urgency to understand your coverage before renewal.
