Catch 22 - the next guy is waiting in line to under bid them. Now tell me about the inspection process Vs code. Does someone count the nails per shingle and did they hit the strip. On the other hand I'm reading most of you have $500 deductible and the insurance seems to be coordinating the repairs. Serious ? You are complaining about $500 and someone taking care of the bull work after a hurricane. I'd pay the money and kiss the ground if that's all there was to it.
Sometimes there is more involved than money,
and if a lot of folks have problems with their roof installation,
it might lead to better installation and QC.
Consequences motivate change,
and bad PR about developer build quality is a consequence.
