Any experiences with how to deal with insurance adjusters for
roof damage and interior water damage repairs, eg re-taping drywall,
painting?
You have the right to get your own adjuster. They usually charge a
percentage of the loss, but a good one will get you a bunch more money
that you can negotiate on your own.
We had one after a loss at work. The difference between what the
insurance offered and what the adjust got paid was hundreds of
thousands of dollars. He was like a hungry pit bull and the insurance
company was a very meaty steak.
A restaurant I know had a kitchen fire. Insurance offered $6000 to
settle, same adjuster got $35,000 for the loss.
You may not do as well, but you can get things done right.
