Haag Certified Roof Inspector MN

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009

Hail damage inspections and hail damage evaluations are common buzzwords used by contractors after a significant hailstorm in Minnesota. However, they are not just used as ploys for phone calls or terms I consider catchy, the Minnesota hail damage inspections and hail damage evaluations I provide are accurate and certified.

As a Minnesota Haag Certified Roof Inspector, my primary responsibility is accurately and consistently evaluating the fundamental results of hail damage to Minnesota structures and negotiating these points with insurance adjusters. The hail damage evaluation techniques I use determine two important results of hail damage, both of which tend to be primary reasoning behind an insurance companies decision to replace a roof after falling hail. These are 1) Determining if there is reduction in water shedding ability of the exterior envelope, and 2) Has there been a reduced service life expectancy of exterior materials due to hail stone impact.

When your original insurance adjuster’s opinion is that these conditions do not exist, it a can be hard to sway the end result. In this case, even a re-inspection does not yield a different result. This is why you do not want the insurance adjuster the only expert evaluating your structures damage from the beginning. Consider me the professional you want on your side. I will negotiate with your insurance company on your behalf.

I provide in-depth Certified Hail Damage Inspection Reports, and offer effective action plans for successful insurance claims, even if a hail claim has been denied. If you’re seeking a second option, or simply want an honest and certified storm damage evaluation give me a call. I provide accurate evaluations and fast results.

Upon receiving your Certified Hail Damage Report, you will know if your structures water shedding ability has been abruptly shortened, or your roofs service life expectancy has been jeopardized. Knowing this information and demonstrating this in detail to your insurance adjuster often is the difference between good and bad results. Let me do this for you!

My Minnesota Haag Certified Roof Inspector services are provided at no charge to clients of Berkeshire Exteriors.

I can be reached at 763-746-4913.

Minnesota Hail Claim Denied

Saturday, March 28th, 2009

A Minnesota hail damage claim being denied is all too common.

As most know, after the insurance company is contacted a claim is opened, a representative (hail damage adjuster) is dispatched to evaluate hail damage. This is the most important element of each hail damage restoration process. Some insurance companies have inspection methods and use fancy damage-oriented terminology to talk homeowners out of much deserved repair proceeds.

Now, most insurance companies and insurance adjusters in Minnesota are honest and ethical. But unfortunately, all to many of us know of someone who felt shorted by his or her insurance adjuster, or were the only person on the block who did not receive the needed resources for roof replacement. In other words, their hail claim was denied. Now this does not automatically mean dishonesty or ethics were involved, but it sure proves interesting.

We receive many calls from homeowners in this position. Don’t let this happen to you, but call us if it has. When the first hail damage adjuster documents his opinion that the roof needs only minor repairs or the siding’s fade is not relevant, it can be difficult to sway the end result.

However at Berkeshire Exteriors we have a vast library of proven letters and a fast system to initiate needed hail damage claim actions relative to this situation. Some of these are

Change hail damage insurance adjusters and get a fresh damage evaluation.
