In Macon, Georgia, a wind incident struck the neighborhood fairly hard before Mr Girish’s building suffered serious roof and exterior damage with torn-off shingles and exposed roofing underlayment at various locations potentially open to water entry. A potentially manageable problem thus soon became unmanageable as the extent of the wind impact eventually became clear.
But the offer made by Safeco Insurance of only $11,471.11 barely scratched the surface of what would be required for repair to get it back to its pre-loss status. Girish needed someone who would make sure they didn’t miss anything.
It was at this stage that SPJ Adjusting acted with accuracy and expertise.
Our appraisal team then inspected the property again, finding missed damages and listing structural weaknesses, so they could offer a comprehensive estimate that met industry-code requirements. We were then able to offer a thorough and justifiable appraisal to contest the low-ball offer.
However, with relentless lobbying and a fact-based strategy, SPJ managed to obtain a final settlement of $14,194.43, considerably enough for Girish to perform an adequate amount of repair work on his house. As Girish looked at it, there was no ambiguity, no injustice, and no peace-of-mind issue related to proof that mattered.
