At SPJ Adjusting, we worked with a client, Mr. Christopher, who contacted us following a serious windstorm that significantly damaged his property in Marietta, Georgia. The high winds caused lifting and creasing of roof shingles, damage to roof ridge caps, loosened flashing, and widespread impact across multiple sections of the roof. Mr. Christopher promptly initiated a claim with Nationwide Insurance; however, the initial payout of $9,784.55 did not accurately reflect the severity of the wind-related roof damage.
To make sure that the loss assessment has been done correctly, SPJ started the assessment process.
Our team investigated the property thoroughly, noting the functional wind damage that required a complete replacement rather than a repair, along with the areas that have been overlooked.
We clearly documented, accurately measured, and submitted a sound evaluation for the appraisal, which clearly showed that the initial estimate substantially understated the claim.
The result of the appraisal led to a final compensation of $42,936.80, which enabled the homeowner to make complete repairs.
This success story is a result of SPJ Adjusting’s commitment to accuracy, professionalism, and vindication in appraisal, particularly when wind damage claims are underappreciated.
