@@theknifeconnection9571 not the point though. The adjuster is fraudulently adding damages to the claim that he is liable for. Reverse the roles: if you were up there on your roof with him and you damage your shingles showing him wind damage, do you think he’d be ok tacking that on to the final payment? He’s violating the contract that the insured agreed upon when they purchased the policy. It’s bad, regardless of the total amount of damages. And ultimately the cost falls on the insured so you’re paying a new, higher rate that could’ve been affected by that extra damage (probably not in this case but in general).

Minimum wage has increased $2! So that can't be the reason. Hmmm so what could it be? From the year 2000 till today Corperate profits and corporate executives wages have increased by 1500-3000%! My grandfather died a millionaire! Worked 35 years for one of the largest health insurance providers.. a non profit! A few years after he retired the board voted to increase their salaries to match the private for profit sector! Wages for executives went from $150k to 500k to 3.5 million up to 7 million! Just imagine how many insurance policies it takes to cover each of their salaries! It's been like this across the board in Corperate America and is why we are dealing with massive increases in everything! 50% of Americans are struggling to survive while the top 30 million live in luxury! If it's not stopped the wealth gap which reached record levels in 2019 will lead the USA to a total economic collapse! You can only milk the hardworking people of America for so much before there's nothing more to take! Currently someone buying a $240,000 home will pay over $522,000 for said home.

Yeah, my dad works as a roofer, actually started a business removing them. When I was around 10 years old we had a family friend that had a house and ask someone to inspect it and they said they needed to get it removed ASAP. They asked my dad and said nah that roof can hold for at least 5-10 years.

Ain't no insurance adjuster got any business touching a damn thing. All they need is to see damage with their eyes. If he wantef to do damage to ensure a proper claim, that should be transparent.

[@sibat82eg]

That's not true there's plenty of things to look at and check, plus you have to touch the roof to do a stress test to see if it's repairable vs needing a full replacement

I did roof repairs full time and know the first thing you need to do is break the glue bond between the shingles before ever trying to pry them up. Removing a shingle and preserving the ones above and around can be challenging when the shingles are old and cracking. I could have easily got that shingle in this video separated without damage. It just takes longer. Dont be afraid to hit it with a quick torch of its cold outside. Its just like a tar glue. It will release.

[@UndefinedStasis]

God damn I hate insurance adjusters. The last time I dealt with one was on a plumbing job. The stack broke, the stack was inbetween 2 walls, so the homeowners had no idea it broke as it was impossible to see. We, as plumbers came in and even guessed the wrong side of the wall it was on, as there was an addition added on to the building the in 70's, 150 years after the building was built, concealing the stack, which typically in this neighborhood would have been outside of the wall. The stack broke, we opened the wall and there was black mold throughout their kitchen. The insurance adjuster said, "yeah you can claim that on your insurance but, if you do, we will drop you from your policy and add you to a blacklist so no one will insure you." So that homeowner paid outright for the repair.

@@RoofingInsights3.0 really? you have a neutral 3rd party representing the insurance. the appraiser does not have to abide by insurances "rules" (policy is enforced though"), and in my experience, if the damage is their and wasnt paid by the adjuster, it will usually get paid for in appraisal. It does take more time, but what would the homeowner prefer, they pay out of pocket for damages, or it takes a little longer and the insurance ends up paying for it? id assume the latter of the 2.
