This will give you an independent assessment of the condition of your roof. If he finds problems, then contact your insurance company, and see who THEY have experience dealing with. Also, check with the BBB abd seniors against crime before signing contract.
Hope this helps.

I agree, but I would have said never, never, not ever, like Clark Howard would. But, I also wonder why reputable insurance companies allow contractors to rip off their customers by getting them to sign their benefits and rights away. And, I don't understand how the insurance company benefits from this process.
