He indicated that he has a lawyer, out of Tampa, who handles the claim application on my behalf. My roof is 14 years old. they picked at the edges of the tabs to see if they were loose and take lots of pictures. I could see no obvious signs of damage. I can't imagine any adjuster paying a claim. Seems like insurance fraud to me.
I think since we’re going through bad times I would be talking to a lawyer, contractor or someone else besides this roofer. We’re going through hard times right now, personally I would wait until the country got back on their feet. Lots of scammers out there, just wouldn’t want to see some crook taking advantage of our senior citizens. Be cautious & check this out with your lawyer or a professional you can trust. I just can’t believe that many people would need new roofs put on all at the same time. Just sounds a little fishy to me!
