For a $600,000 home, with 3% annual inflation, that home might reach over $2.6 million in 50 years. A 2% deductible would rise from $12,000 to about $52,800. Filing claims every 10 years means five claims. Adjusted for inflation, that totals around $160,000 in deductibles. A Class 4 synthetic roof at $67,500 fixed—no claims—stays far below. In other words, factoring inflation, predictable claims, and rising deductibles, the resilient Class 4 roof wins the long game.
