Delray Beach homeowner faces higher costs after new roof, new insurance company

A Delray Beach homeowner is struggling with rising insurance costs after being dropped by Citizens Insurance following a roof replacement. Doris Fiorenza, 83, reports her new private policy premium is significantly higher than her previous rate, exacerbated by a surcharge for a coverage lapse.
