A strong windstorm that hit Damon’s house in Minneapolis, Minnesota, caused damage that went far beyond just loose shingles on the roof. Windstorm damage featured lifted roof covering materials, creased shingles on several slopes on the house roof, destroyed underlayment on the roof’s steep sides, and vulnerable spots on the dwelling’s roof were prone to water damage. The apparent superficial damage on the house roof was a complex roof building that might fail due to water damage.
Despite all these risks, the offer made by Homesite was just a paltry amount of $3,679.62, not even close to the hem of the real loss.
As for Damon, it meant being concerned for the well-being of his dwelling and wondering how he would finance appropriate repairs.
This is where we came in with our company, SPJ Adjusting Services.
Through an in-depth analysis, we selected:
- Shingles wind-creased and uplifted that need full
- Worn and damaged underlayment layers on the slopes
- Damage to flashing & Roof Transitions Exposed during the Storm
We wrote extensive documentation, used accurate estimating, and handled the insured exclusively in our practice.
As a result, this raised the award to $19,923.
This fair and correct settlement enabled Damon to do the job of repairing his house correctly and not through patch-up jobs, and without breaking the bank. At SPJ Adjusting Services, we understand and acknowledge the fact that wind damage is more than what it seems, and we are committed to standing behind homeowners until they get the settlement they deserve.
