At the time the destructive windstorm ravaged Joseph’s house in Richmond, Virginia, the effects were both visible and concealed. Some areas had windstorms that stripped the shingles on the roof, and the flashing had malfunctioned. Taking into consideration the damage the house had experienced, the original offer to Joseph from State Farm of the sum of $14,855.77 to cover the repairs of the house was grossly inadequate.
Realizing full well that his home needed to be properly examined for damage, Joseph turned to SPJ Adjusting Services for help. A wind damage inspection was performed at his home, and all areas where shingles were displaced, underlayment destroyed, and flashing damaged were recorded. In addition, areas where water damage might occur in the future were also determined.
Therefore, SPJ was able to draft a complete and well-supported appraisal that took into account acceptable repair Standards and damage, and this resulted in our obtaining an increase in the amount of the appraisal award of $30,398.56.
With this in mind, Joseph was able to move forward with the repairs, knowing that his home would be restored in a way that was safe and accurate. At SPJ Adjusting Services, our goal in our company involves fighting to protect the policyholder and ensuring that the value of the damage that resulted from the windstorm is determined accurately.
