A very strong combination of wind and hail that passed through Samantha’s neighborhood in Valparaiso, Indiana caused her dwelling considerable exterior damage that went beyond what the naked eye could see. Hail pounded and broke roofing tiles, while strong winds uplifted roofing materials and created water paths into vulnerable spots. Samantha worried with each rainstorm about leaks and rising repair costs.
Nevertheless, Homesite’s first offer of $621.45 hardly recognized the extent of the impact caused by the storm. Feeling frustrated, unsupported, and uncertain about what to do next, Samantha turned to SPJ for assistance.
But then came SPJ with a comprehensive and fact-based appraisal review, examining every slope, surface, and structure.Our team:
- All hail impacts and wind-affected roof areas were documented.
- Found sources of hidden water entry as well as vulnerable spots
- Code-required repair work and repair standards
- Assembled an objective and thorough appraisals file with regards to the extent of loss
By documenting accurately and working tirelessly for recognition, SPJ was able to prove Samantha’s actual level of damage and contest the grossly underestimated value.
The effect was phenomenal:
The amount of her award rose from $621.45 to $26,869.75 so that Samantha could reclaim her house with confidence. SPJ brings fairness, accuracy, and peace of mind to homeowners who experience storm damage.
