Claims Adjuster Roof Inspection---Watch and Learn!!

[@neshiareed9469]

Thanks for finally showing me what I’ve been looking for, I’m about to take my adjuster class and when I realized after looking at job descriptions one noted that I needed a 28 foot ladder, and then I remembered I was scared of heights. So I’ve been watching videos for the last three days of people walking on roofs lol and what equipment I should have but I’ve been having a tough time finding adjusters showing a day at work. Thanks! I pray I overcome this fear. I really don’t want to chicken out of a good opportunity.

[@danieltheadjuster]

Thank you for your comment. You will do fine! A heart to learn is what you need and a heart to do things to tackle your fears. It will make you a better person. Congrats on taking the Adjuster class. You’re on your way to a fantastic career. Keep in touch and let me know how it goes.

[@danieltheadjuster]

@JohnMorganti-zd1fp Unfortunately, if the carrier does not approve, a roof replacement, there must be a reason. Policy restrictions, or carrier restrictions, due to their practices. it’s out of our hands at that point. We just tell them the damage. They are good and bad carriers.

Welders chalk works better than sidewalk chalk. Glad you are using those cougar paws!

[@danieltheadjuster]

I have used that before. The problem is that it cannot be seen with overview photos of the whole roof. Our goal is the show the damage to the desk adjuster and if they can’t see the overall damage from the photo, they cannot make a good judgment call. You are right, that it works well.

[@michaelh7527]

You appear to be really honest and good at what you do. I know there are adjusters just looking to deny claims and I experienced that once.... Had a roof that was 5 years old and was damaged by a severe hail storm. My neighbors was damaged along with other houses. My trucks windshield was cracked in multiple places. But the adjuster who came out actually told me that the damage was not caused by hail and looked to be caused by a kid or kids running around on the roof 😱😱😱. I said my daughter is 5 and there is no way she is getting on the roof 😂. I had another adjuster come out who looked at the notes, then the roof and said hmmmmm. It looks like hail damage to me and it's covered m

[@danieltheadjuster]

Yes, unfortunately there are good and bad adjusters just like every industry. Ever been to get your car fixed, and the mechanic tells you tons of things wrong with your car, then you take it to another shop and he says you just need a tuneup? Happens all the time. I sorry for your bad experience, but hopefully never again. I try to adjust the homes I inspect honestly and thoroughly, like it was my home. It seems to work out ok. Thanks for watching!!

[@rrmc.6035]

Hi Daniel, as many here, I'm also in the process of becoming an adjuster. I've all ready taken and passed the All-Lines adjuster exam and have applied to TDI for my license. A friend turned me onto this and I was following his route, which is to work for Pilot, but listening to him...it doesn't seem that Pilot provided much of any training. They did a quick training session and through him out to do the job. I want to do this the right way, so my question to you is...how should I go about starting my career? I will have my license in a matter of days, but no formal training. Second question...I'm usually not afraid of heights, but man oh man, my heart skips several beats when I see the extreme pitches on some homes. How do you get over the fear? Once again, great job and thanks for responding.

[@danieltheadjuster]

Thanks so much for your questions. I think any of the big firms, Alacrity, Pilot, EA Renfroe, Wardlaw, etc. will give you a good training, to start, but it will not give you everything that you need. You have to remember that you will learn by experience and trial and error. There is no course that will teach you everything you will need to know to be a great adjuster. My suggestion, is to take the opportunities as they come, work at it as best as possible, then move onto the next experience. As far as heights, rope and harness training, along with your harness and ropes will be the best bet for you as you’re starting out. Can’t be too careful while you’re learning, and after you have been on many roofs, you’ll start to feel more comfortable. It’s always scary at the start. Check out some of the gear in the description of my videos that I refer to, as it’s the stuff that I use on the tricky roofs. Thanks for watching!!

[@HighHurdleDude]

I would recommend applying to be a ladder assist for a storm for training. It pays a lot less, but it still pays well. Basically you will be with an experienced adjuster for the deployment helping set up their huge ladder. They can teach you a lot and you will still be making money doing it.

I have 7yo shingles with exposed fiberglass. Took pictures. Did not know about chalk marking. So going back up to mark and take pictures. I see H is used for Hail. W is for wind. What is used for exposed fiberglass ? F or D for defect?

[@danieltheadjuster]

OreaGray I would probably use a “D” for defective. As long as you notate it in your description on your photo. You can use whatever you want. Our goal is to make things as easy as possible for the Desk Adjusters to understand.

[@OreaGray]

[@kajcheechannel698]

when you have wind plows couple shingles, does the insurance will help you fix the cost or just repair those missing shingles only?

[@danieltheadjuster]

Any shingles that are damaged, nails pulled through, bent, creased, missing, are considered damaged shingles. You can add 10% waste to the repair to take into consideration the repair process. To replace the slope for wind damage, it is hard, and typically the insurance company wants to see a lot of shingles damaged (possibly as high as a 1/4 of the slope.).

Thank you for your details sir, i live in East side of Texas, I am in process buying a house, I had home inspection report said the roof was damage by hail year 2021. So I got 3 quote roofing contractor all said the roof was damage by hail. So the seller reports to his home insurance, but the adjuster insurance come to look at the roof and he said there is no hail damage on the roof. From your experience as adjuster insurance what do you think, please help. Thank you

[@danieltheadjuster]

Sure I’ve heard the story before. You can always request a second inspection. Sometimes the first adjuster does not know what he’s looking for because he’s new. If all of that fails, then ask for an engineer to prove that there’s no damage. Hope this helps.

[@chanthoubun8535]

@@danieltheadjuster . When you say engineer. Who is the engineer sir. The roofer ? I’m not sure who is this engineer. Thank you for response back.

[@danieltheadjuster]

A lot of times the engineer is someone that is HAAG certified. The insurance company will know what you’re talking about when you ask for one. This is someone who uses science and research as well as accreditation to determine whether there’s hail damage on the roof. It takes all the adjusters out of question and makes the engineer the ultimate authority.

[@Josh-ww5kz]

Just came across this video. When doing a claim do you guys look at the actual shingle install? Say that they are installing iko Cambridge, and they high nailed every shingle and there's blowthroughs. Does that void the insurance claim? Because I'm a roofer and I just worked with someone who does all of that and he said that he has been roofing for 10 years (I've been roofing for 5) and that he knows how to properly install shingles. And I told him that he is voiding any type of warranty installing the shingles wrong. Am I right? Does him doing that void the roof from any type of insurance claim, etc.

[@danieltheadjuster]

Josh: As an Adjuster, we notate these incorrect shingle installations (nails overdriven, improper overlap, weaved valleys install incorrectly etc.) but we do not make coverage decisions. I will place a note in the file if I observe these items but leave it up to the Desk Adjuster to make the final call. As far as the warranty for the shingles, that would be up to the installer or the owner to follow through if the claim was denied. Hope this helps!

Hi is it common practice for an insurance adjuster to just take a photo from ground level about 30 ft away from the house and call that an inspection? The adjuster looked at the roof from the ground for about 10 seconds and left. He didn't even come with a ladder or drone. I got denied for any damages from Hyundai home insurance. What recourse do I have to challenge this? Can the adjuster be held accountable for anything? Thank you so much. I am located in the NY metro area if that matters.

[@danieltheadjuster]

Thanks for your question Donald. Absolutely, this was not a thorough inspection. Best thing to do is to call back for a reinspection and ask for a different adjuster. Just explain to them exactly what you noted above and they will know it’s not a thorough inspection. It is possible that he called for a ladder assist to get on the roof. Are you aware of any other inspection? If this was a complete inspection, this is not acceptable. If they give you a hard time, you can call for a manager of the claims department, and then eventually the department of insurance. The squeaky door gets the oil.

[@jeremyday6684]

Hire a certified public adjuster to advocate for you to the insurance company. They will actually get on the roof, find the damage, take pictures, and send it to the insurer.

[@danieltheadjuster]

In my opinion, an insured should not use a public adjuster at all possible. They take a portion of your settlement and a good field adjuster should be able to do the same amount of work with no charge to the insured. The insured could also ask for another field adjuster, if the first one is not adequate. It’s done all the time.

In the case where you need a second ladder to reach the top level, do you worry about your ladder damaging the lower roof surface? Seems like a very concentrated amount of weight in a small place.

Just curious what your thoughts are. Great videos, by the way.

[@danieltheadjuster]

Thank you for your comment. By the time that I am inspecting the home, the roofer has pretty much determined that there is hail damage on the roof and more than likely, I am there to confirm it for replacement . That being said, the shingles are normally in bad condition or at the end of their service life when I inspect . My ladders rarely damage the roof compared to all of the scuffs and other ladder marks that the insured has placed on the roof from installing their Christmas lights on the house. Ha ha I try to be very careful when placing the second ladder and it rarely makes any damage.
