There are two, unrelated, roofing scams.

In the first, someone will inspect your roof "for free" and tell you it needs repairs when it doesn't. This will be at your expense.

In the second, they will tell you that you need a whole new roof. Often they can get the insurance company to cover this.

The second has been accelerated by some insurance companies refusing to insure a roof over 20 years old, so it has been hard for them to deny that older roofs may need replacing due to wind damage over the years. A vicious circle for which they are partly responsible.
