Will my homeowner's insurance pay for a poorly installed roof to be reinstalled?

I had a roofer come out and install a new tin roof a few years ago. I wasn't aware of this poor installation. I'm seeing some leaks here and there after heavy rains. Will my homeowner's insurance pay to replace the roof?

Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
“No, your homeowners insurance won’t pay for a roof to be reinstalled due to faulty craftsmanship.
However, it will pay for any damage that occurs to your home from the roof leaking if it was from a covered peril, like hail or a windstorm.
It sounds like you’re looking for an extended warranty, which will help cover the cost of roof replacements. These types of products are also available for cars, but independent of
car insurance
 if that helps you make more sense of it.
If you want to look into adding an extended warranty to your policy, try the
Jerry
 app. Jerry will compare your rates to other companys’ and ensure you’re getting the best deal. We’ll even help with the paperwork if you want to transfer your policy to a new company.”

How many Ford Focus RS MK3s were made?
So I was driving to the supermarket with my younger brother (who happens to be a car-head), when this hot hatchback scooted and bobbed and weaved through traffic like a giant gnat on fire. I loved it, but I’ve never seen that car before! My brother informed me that that was a Ford Focus RS MK3, and that it is not built anymore. I loved it, but I’ve never seen it before. How many Ford Focus RS MK3s were made?
