A strong windstorm impacted Gerard’s property in Fayetteville, North Carolina, resulting in damage that was not immediately visible but ultimately proved to be far more significant than initially expected. This was because the strong wind would have peeled the roof shingles off, making some of the flashing come off, and making the vulnerable areas of the roof vulnerable to damages. The areas would also easily allow water to penetrate the building. Although damages were apparently evident, their severity was not well captured.
Despite all the above risks, the offer made by the insurance company at Safeco was no more than $501.76. This amount was grossly inadequate to cover the repairs. Being increasingly faced with stress as well as confusion regarding how to protect his property, Gerard sought assistance from SPJ Adjusting Services.
A thorough walk-through inspection of the property has been conducted by the appraisers that we hired. This included damaged, lifted, or creased areas on the roof shingles, missing or damaged roof underlay, roof flashing damage, and potential areas that may experience damage due to water.
Despite our tireless efforts at advocacy and assessment, we were eventually able to secure a reviewed settlement amount of $14,885.75. This amount was not only accurate but also made it possible for Gerard to conduct much-needed repair work to make sure his dwelling was sound.
At SPJ Adjusting Services, we make sure that each claim involving the winds is treated with care, knowledge, and attention in a way that will ensure our clients get what is fair.
