Why Your Roofer Should Never Miss An Adjuster Appointment

Wes DurhamNews

Let’s say your family went through another North Texas hailstorm. You do the right thing by calling a local roofer and, after a thorough inspection, he recommends you file a claim with your insurance and schedule an adjuster appointment.

Everything is going to be OK because you have a true professional in your corner – or so you think.

We say that because let’s say a few days go by, and you let the roofer know exactly when the adjuster is coming … except the roofer isn’t going to show up for the appointment! Now, anxiety begins to settle in.

  • Will the adjuster see the same things the roofer did?
  • What happens if I can’t answer the adjuster’s questions?
  • How do I argue their findings?

At ANNSTAR Roofing & Construction, we believe it is our job to be at every adjuster appointment. Any roofing company that tells you differently is not the partner to have in your corner. When an ANNSTAR professional gets on your roof, we look at anything the most recent storm would have damaged. That includes missing shingles and loose or damaged gutters to soft metals, ventilation, windows, possible interior damage, HVAC equipment, and more.

We’ve worked on hundreds of roofs and take our time to do a complete inspection of anything that could cause you more problems down the line. And truth be told, there’s no guarantee the adjuster will see the same things.

By showing up to the adjuster appointment, we can show them – so you don’t have to.

How do you know if your claims adjuster is experienced?

There are typically two types of adjusters in the insurance world: adjusters who work for the insurance company and independent contractors hired to help wade through a high number of claims. Each may have a different viewpoint on how to handle your appointment; for example, the independent contractor may be more inclined to look deeper for as much damage as possible where the employed adjuster may not see smaller damage as an immediate concern.

On top of that, you must contend with different levels of experience. You could end up with a newly licensed adjuster who may not have enough experience to spot smaller damage that could lead to a bigger problem for you down the road. They may also be hopping from one appointment to the next, which means they may rush through your inspection.

All those factors combined could lead to important repairs being overlooked or missed altogether.

Having an ANNSTAR roofer there for the adjuster appointment ensures nothing is missed. All you have to do is let us know what time the appointment is, and we will be there.

There is a myriad of benefits for a roofer to be at your next adjuster appointment:

  1. Claims are approved with more items included the first time, leading to less supplemental claims
  2. The adjuster’s job is made easier because they have someone there to point out things they’ve missed.
  3. All questions can be answered, whether it’s from the homeowner, roofer, or adjuster.
  4. You have someone in your corner fighting to get the most out of your repair needs.
  5. You have instant peace of mind and less anxiety.
