A severe hailstorm damaged the home owned by Binu in Plano, Texas, with consequences that went well beyond small pockmarks on the roof. A hail of this intensity could begin to damage roofing material, loosen waterproof coatings, reduce the effectiveness of the underlayment materials, and compromise moisture barriers, hidden problems until the roof starts leaking or developing other issues.
Despite the extent of the damage sustained, the first offer made by Safeco Insurance did not exceed $8,297.33. This could not even begin to touch the damage that had been done or the cost that would be incurred to restore the roof to its previous condition.
This was when the services of SPJ Adjusting Services were brought in.
The initial report indicated areas of concern, which mostly related to bruising of the roof shingles that needed to be replaced, waterproof layers that needed to be replaced due to hail damage, metal roofing, gutters, and soft goods.
With the help of accurate estimating, detailing, and networking, we managed to negotiate a new settlement of $18,278.94. This was a vast improvement, which helped the homeowner carry out the correct repairs to the roof, ensuring the integrity of the roof was once again intact.
At SPJ Adjusting Services, we will certainly ensure that the evaluation for hail damage is just and rightly intended and will strongly fight for justice.
