State of the Roofing Industry Blog

Everyday it becomes increasingly difficult to get roofs completely totaled. I see the insurance carriers coming up with new ways to manipulate estimating softwares and lower the overall cost out of their pocket. I do not expect the insurance companies to roll over and play dead but I do know there are more contractors than insurance companies. If the roofing companies were to come together and demand an actual fair market value for the roofing systems the insurance companies are paying for and refused to do it for less it would cause a positive movement in the industry.

So many storm chasing business models hire as many door knockers as they can get to go around claiming hail damage on every single roof.

Do you really expect the insurance companies to just roll over and play dead?

You guys forced them to fight back and this is the current results.

My guess is they will continue to fight back and in the future it will be way more difficult to get a hail damage claim paid for than it is today.
