They will not pay for a new roof. Roofs are not covered due to wear, tear or faulty installation. They will not pay to fix the roof if you have a leak unless in suffered wind or hail damage. They will pay for a roof due to any sudden and accidental damage like fire, wind, hail or falling object.

Your insurance will not renew because you need to replace the roof the bank will not provide you with a loan to repair it if you do not have insurance what do you do?

The only option you have is to pay for the roof repair yourself, unless the roof damage was caused by a peril covered by your current policy. Another option might be to speak with a senior underwriter from the bank, they may be willing to make an exception if they can make the check out to the roof repair company directly. Good luck!
