For example, if you had a fiberglass roof, the insurance will pay to repair or replace damage with fiberglass materials—but won’t pay to replace it with more expensive slate tile. If you like we can estimate additional cost if you are thinking of upgrading you roof or property that was damaged.

We are as honest of a business as anyone. Its like any other businesses. You have some good, honest ones but then you have all the bad, cheap, stealing ones to that give us a bad name. I have seen many roofs that really didnt have damage get approved through insurance, very high prices per square, outsiders taking starter checks and leaving, people saying that they are licensed adjusters and so on. It is a shame that people are doing this, but please dont label us all bad. I personally work with adjusters from insurance companies and many appreciate my service.
