When the powerful wind and hailstorm swept through Houston, Texas, Alexi’s home suffered extensive damage. Shingles were bruised from the hail, roof edges were lifted by the wind, and protective layers were compromised, leaving the property vulnerable to water intrusion at any moment.
These are serious impacts, but Allstate originally offered only $1,981.32 an amount not even adequate to address even temporary repairs. Alexi was frustrated and at a loss for how to fix the damage properly or prevent long-term deterioration.
It was at this point that Alexi gave us a call at SPJ Adjusting.
We seized the initiative with precision and urgency. Our appraisal process has made sure that the following happens.
- Visited and investigated all storm hit areas, documenting evidence that could not be discarded.
- Explained what actually needed to be repaired to satisfy building-code requirements.
- Unsubstantiated information-based and experience-based estimates of undervaluation countered.
- Successfully navigated the appraisal efficiently so the homeowner wouldn’t be left waiting.
Everything changed once the full truth of the loss came to light: Allstate Initial Offer: $1,981.32 SPJ Final Settlement Secured: $23,094.48, Powerful: that is more than a 10-times increase that gives Alexi the funds he desperately needed to restore the home correctly and protect it against future storm risks.
We fought for what was promised by the policy, and Alexi won: a stronger home, a fair settlement, and peace of mind restored. That’s the SPJ difference.
