    Thanks for finally showing me what I’ve been looking for, I’m about to take my adjuster class and when I realized after looking at job descriptions one noted that I needed a 28 foot ladder, and then I remembered I was scared of heights. So I’ve been watching videos for the last three days of people walking on roofs lol and what equipment I should have but I’ve been having a tough time finding adjusters showing a day at work. Thanks! I pray I overcome this fear. I really don’t want to chicken out of a good opportunity.

    You appear to be really honest and good at what you do. I know there are adjusters just looking to deny claims and I experienced that once.... Had a roof that was 5 years old and was damaged by a severe hail storm. My neighbors was damaged along with other houses. My trucks windshield was cracked in multiple places. But the adjuster who came out actually told me that the damage was not caused by hail and looked to be caused by a kid or kids running around on the roof 😱😱😱. I said my daughter is 5 and there is no way she is getting on the roof 😂.
    I had another adjuster come out who looked at the notes, then the roof and said hmmmmm. It looks like hail damage to me and it's covered m

      Yes, unfortunately there are good and bad adjusters just like every industry. Ever been to get your car fixed, and the mechanic tells you tons of things wrong with your car, then you take it to another shop and he says you just need a tuneup? Happens all the time. I sorry for your bad experience, but hopefully never again. I try to adjust the homes I inspect honestly and thoroughly, like it was my home. It seems to work out ok.

      Unfortunately, if the carrier does not approve, a roof replacement, there must be a reason. Policy restrictions, or carrier restrictions, due to their practices. it’s out of our hands at that point. We just tell them the damage. They are good and bad carriers.

    Hi Daniel, as many here, I'm also in the process of becoming an adjuster. I've all ready taken and passed the All-Lines adjuster exam and have applied to TDI for my license. A friend turned me onto this and I was following his route, which is to work for Pilot, but listening to him...it doesn't seem that Pilot provided much of any training. They did a quick training session and through him out to do the job. I want to do this the right way, so my question to you is...how should I go about starting my career? I will have my license in a matter of days, but no formal training. Second question...I'm usually not afraid of heights, but man oh man, my heart skips several beats when I see the extreme pitches on some homes. How do you get over the fear? Once again, great job and thanks for responding.

    • @danieltheadjuster
      @danieltheadjuster  2 года назад +3

      Thanks so much for your questions. I think any of the big firms, Alacrity, Pilot, EA Renfroe, Wardlaw, etc. will give you a good training, to start, but it will not give you everything that you need. You have to remember that you will learn by experience and trial and error. There is no course that will teach you everything you will need to know to be a great adjuster. My suggestion, is to take the opportunities as they come, work at it as best as possible, then move onto the next experience. As far as heights, rope and harness training, along with your harness and ropes will be the best bet for you as you’re starting out. Can’t be too careful while you’re learning, and after you have been on many roofs, you’ll start to feel more comfortable. It’s always scary at the start.
      Check out some of the gear in the description of my videos that I refer to, as it’s the stuff that I use on the tricky roofs.
      Thanks for watching!!

    • @HighHurdleDude
      @HighHurdleDude 2 года назад +3

      I would recommend applying to be a ladder assist for a storm for training. It pays a lot less, but it still pays well. Basically you will be with an experienced adjuster for the deployment helping set up their huge ladder. They can teach you a lot and you will still be making money doing it.

    Just came across this video. When doing a claim do you guys look at the actual shingle install? Say that they are installing iko Cambridge, and they high nailed every shingle and there's blowthroughs. Does that void the insurance claim?
    Because I'm a roofer and I just worked with someone who does all of that and he said that he has been roofing for 10 years (I've been roofing for 5) and that he knows how to properly install shingles. And I told him that he is voiding any type of warranty installing the shingles wrong.
    Am I right? Does him doing that void the roof from any type of insurance claim, etc.

    • @danieltheadjuster
      @danieltheadjuster  3 года назад +1

      Josh:
      As an Adjuster, we notate these incorrect shingle installations (nails overdriven, improper overlap, weaved valleys install incorrectly etc.) but we do not make coverage decisions. I will place a note in the file if I observe these items but leave it up to the Desk Adjuster to make the final call. As far as the warranty for the shingles, that would be up to the installer or the owner to follow through if the claim was denied. Hope this helps!

    when you have wind plows couple shingles, does the insurance will help you fix the cost or just repair those missing shingles only?

    • @danieltheadjuster
      @danieltheadjuster  2 года назад

      Any shingles that are damaged, nails pulled through, bent, creased, missing, are considered damaged shingles. You can add 10% waste to the repair to take into consideration the repair process. To replace the slope for wind damage, it is hard, and typically the insurance company wants to see a lot of shingles damaged (possibly as high as a 1/4 of the slope.).

      Yes, in the States we replace everything that is damaged, unless there’s a specific endorsement n the policy restricting metal roofing on other structures as cosmetic damage.

  • @donaldso718
    @donaldso718 3 года назад +1

    Hi is it common practice for an insurance adjuster to just take a photo from ground level about 30 ft away from the house and call that an inspection? The adjuster looked at the roof from the ground for about 10 seconds and left. He didn't even come with a ladder or drone. I got denied for any damages from Hyundai home insurance. What recourse do I have to challenge this? Can the adjuster be held accountable for anything? Thank you so much. I am located in the NY metro area if that matters.

    • @danieltheadjuster
      @danieltheadjuster  3 года назад +1

      Thanks for your question Donald. Absolutely, this was not a thorough inspection. Best thing to do is to call back for a reinspection and ask for a different adjuster. Just explain to them exactly what you noted above and they will know it’s not a thorough inspection. It is possible that he called for a ladder assist to get on the roof. Are you aware of any other inspection? If this was a complete inspection, this is not acceptable.
      If they give you a hard time, you can call for a manager of the claims department, and then eventually the department of insurance. The squeaky door gets the oil.

    • @danieltheadjuster
      @danieltheadjuster  2 года назад +4

      In my opinion, an insured should not use a public adjuster at all possible. They take a portion of your settlement and a good field adjuster should be able to do the same amount of work with no charge to the insured. The insured could also ask for another field adjuster, if the first one is not adequate. It’s done all the time.

      A lot of times the engineer is someone that is HAAG certified. The insurance company will know what you’re talking about when you ask for one. This is someone who uses science and research as well as accreditation to determine whether there’s hail damage on the roof. It takes all the adjusters out of question and makes the engineer the ultimate authority.

    In the case where you need a second ladder to reach the top level, do you worry about your ladder damaging the lower roof surface? Seems like a very concentrated amount of weight in a small place. I realize as an adjustor, there's a high likelihood roofs you evaluate are going to be replaced; I'm a home inspector, and I worry about doing damage while I'm inspecting. Just curious what your thoughts are. Great videos, by the way.

      @danieltheadjuster  3 года назад +3

      Thank you for your comment.
      By the time that I am inspecting the home, the roofer has pretty much determined that there is hail damage on the roof and more than likely, I am there to confirm it for replacement . That being said, the shingles are normally in bad condition or at the end of their service life when I inspect . My ladders rarely damage the roof compared to all of the scuffs and other ladder marks that the insured has placed on the roof from installing their Christmas lights on the house. Ha ha
      I try to be very careful when placing the second ladder and it rarely makes any damage.

      Go to your state adjuster license testing center to take your license. But study through any online adjuster pre-licensing course before taking the test. These pre-licensing courses will help you pass the test.

    Why do you need to climb on roofs? Aren’t claims all done with drones?

    • @danieltheadjuster
      @danieltheadjuster  3 года назад +3

      no---carriers want independents to climb roofs. Staff adjusters use drones. I think it is a safety issue for the staffers. The carriers don't have to worry about independents falling off a roof. haha

    All this for the bean counters back at the office. A drone would work great on these high roofs. I would not trust my life on the gutters attachments and their supports. My luck has not been that good with gutter supports. They are light weight designed. My ladder came down too many time to trust gutters. You need a roof attachment supports on that ladder.

    How can I become a roof adjuster. I’m 26 and been working on roofs since 18

    • @danieltheadjuster
      @danieltheadjuster  3 года назад +5

      Definitely a good start, being a roofer, not being afraid of roofs.
      Unfortunately, mostly, they don’t hire just roof adjusters. You might could be us steep and tall ladder assist. They mostly do roofs.
      Most adjusters handle all types of claims. Toilet overflows, Washing machine, dishwasher, theft, vandalism...etc.
      First thing to become an adjuster is to take a pre-licensing course and get licensed in your home state. Get certified to use Xactimate-Level 1&2
      Find a local Adjuster, and maybe you can carry his ladder and learn from him.
      Get on the adjuster forums and study study study. It will come.

      Yes it is very common to see 12/12 pitches. Rope and Harness training is a must.
      Other safety equipment include, the goat, ridge pro, and your cougar paws. You can climb 99% of the roofs with this equipment.

      It comes with approx. 400 macros of Property estimate cheats. Some are simple like gutters, (3 line items), others are more elaborate like drywall repairs, trim and paint, and others are very detailed like Fire and Flood complete room estimate line items. I think you will find them helpful.
