Insurance not paying accessories...........???

Isn't this a pain in the ass. I noticed it about a month ago. I just stated in a post last night that my prices are going up and today I have to argue w/ SF over being $1,400 higher than them on a 5/12 1 layer house at my old rates. They aren't paying for drip edge or ice & moisture guard in the valley. Another local contractor also bid it WAY higher than me(he is highest in area) and they still won't budge.

I got SF to pay for drip edge a couple weeks ago where the gutter was nailed into it. Also, I've heard they will pay for it if the felt is ran underneath the drip edge.

So? Jack your per sq. price $15.00 to cover it.

And don't forget to tell your client that their deductible just arbitrarily jumped from $1K to $3K by order of their own agent. That's what I do. Then, it all gets fixed and I carry on.

I just reviewed an adjusters report for a house my sister owns that was hail damaged....What a fricken mess/joke....What is this O&P crap?....A price, is a price, is a price, for Pete's sake....

Upon a little digging into sis's Ins. policy language, I found that the Ins. Co. is ultimately obligated to make the repairs/make good, so-to-speak....So, be dammed with their riduculous games....The Ins. Co. is simply going to have to pay for the repairs....What they actually cost, (lowest responsible bid)...Not what they THINK they should....

Good grief!!!!

To think of all the sheeple consumers, as well as roofing contractors, that must simply go along for the ride.....
