Hail/Wind Damage

Hail and wind damage claims may go undiscovered to the ordinary homeowner or business owner. It can be difficult to see the damage caused by wind and/or hail to roofing and siding. Without the help of a public adjuster an insurance adjuster can write an estimate to patch a roof or repair a piece of siding when the policyholder deserves to have the full roof or all of the siding replaced. Not having a public adjuster present indicating the damage to an insurance adjuster allows the insurance adjuster to overlook damages or misidentify the materials being estimated. In some cases, the insurance adjuster is in a hurry or lacks the knowledge to make an accurate assessment of the damages. For instance, certain shingles or siding are no longer manufactured meaning the insurance companies have an obligation to pay for a full replacement if a similar match is unavailable. Insurance adjusters are paid by the insurance companies and they have strict guidelines to follow. A standard guideline is to settle the claim at the least amount possible. Full roofs can be denied and damage to aluminum siding can be completely overlooked. Having ACZ Consulting conduct the initial inspection with photo documentation and writing a detailed estimate prior to having the insurance adjuster come out to the property will provide an outline for the insurance adjuster to follow. ACZ Consulting specializes in hail and wind exterior damages and won’t overlook any hail or wind damage, ensuring you are compensated to the fullest extent.
