      I think eventually all roofs will be required to have video monitoring. 24 7 survey. To not allow any fake damage to be created.
      That would prevent roofers from damming roofs to create claims
      Like police body cams
      And perhaps establish WHEN damage occurred. Which storm. Etc
      Honestly. Florida is the worst state for this. Illinois. Second
      And it will eventually make all home insurance carriers not offer anything. It’s just too expensive
      It’s the roofers. AND. Some homeowners who go along with this
      Though some homeowners do r know what is going on. Which the roofer counts on.
      The bad ones anyway

    This just happened to me here in Michigan. I was out walking the dog and noticed a bunch of signs for the same company that fixed "hail & wind damage". Next thing I know a guy working for the company came by and asked if I wanted them to look at my roof. I said my roof is only 3 years old and is in perfect condition. He looked up and said, yeah it is pretty new. Gave me his card in case I wanted to reach out in the future. This needs to stop because all of our insurance rates are gonna go through the roof!

      Out of the near 80,000 lawsuits not a single one has been deemed fraudulent. In fact the insurance companies are consistently losing. Have you considered that the insurance is scamming people? If you think the insurance company is on your side, you're sadly mistaken. I was a farmers agent years ago and at a huge seminar for all agents in the state, an executive, in front of a few thousand agents, bragged about how much money they saved on not paying out rightful monities to homeowners and instead paying the fines (since it was cheaper) to the state, saving millions and bragging about the bonus the person in the company was given for coming up with that idea. They had a mass exodus of agents that day. Myself included. They also have tracked for many years when someone calls in to ask questions about their policy or coverages. They called it an event and counted against the insured almost the same as an actual claim.

    I have to question why some of these homeowners allow some guy to go up on their roof? To do some kind of inspection. Then to tell the homeowner they need a new roof and insurance will pay... To think the premiums won't go up after a very large claim is just stupid. The only time to file a claim is when Catastrophic Damage HAS occurred, not for preventive maintenance. It's a roofer scam and I think "some" of these homeowners didn't due their part in avoiding it by either getting up there themselves or a 2nd opinion with evidence. Maybe some homeowners were in on it to get a new roof?

    • @allaboutroofing2

      Are you aware there's been 80,000 lawsuits and not one of them has been ruled fraudulent? Also the insurance companies are consistently losing in court. Why do you think that is? If you're suggesting that the roofers are causing the damage on the roof that's blatant fraud and is pretty darn easy to tell the difference. That might happen on occasion and why a roofer worth his salt, will audio and video record the entire inspection. Homeowners should also get on the roof if they are capable. It can be done safely. I've had a 88 year old woman go on the roof with me, so I'd she can, most people should be able to. That or watch from the ground and ask that it be recorded.

But then, lawyers realized that they could use the tort system to become outrageously wealthy while pretending to hold the moral high ground. Some of the larger law firms have garnered BILLIONS in awards. Until every consumer realizes that VIRTUALLY every service and product we purchase is more expensive because of the abuse of the tort system by avaricious lawyers, this will continue. There must be tort reform across the board; no one objects to a reasonable reimbursement for services, but how many hard working people do YOU know who bill hundreds to thousands of dollars PER HOUR?

There were no signs of any type of what is referred to as collateral damage (gutters, window screens, siding, fence, etc.). They call it "rolling the dice". The unprofessional "contractors" make the rest of us look like crooks. Why are they not investigated and held accountable?

I live 200 yrds for the gulf in Mexico Beach and went through Michael with no damages. I only plan on using insurance for a total loss or catastrophic damage. Shingle roofs just don't last. The insurance companies should start prorate the amount they will pay after a shingle roof is so old. I don't care if you buy a "30yr shingle" that roof is toast in 15-20 yrs especially in Florida, and people claiming storm damage and not having to pay anything or a small deductible to get a 15-20 yr old roof replaced for free is why they are in this mess.

I've been in the insurance business and now a roofer and I can assure you the insurance's only interest is their own. Many are down right crooked. Notice how the news has never bothered to look at a roof that is in dispute and see for themselves if there is damage that warrants replacement? It's not that hard to see the damage and see that the insurance is scamming their insureds, not the other way around.

You are the only client of this company and after all their bills and taxes they can only give you 1K towards a new roof and you need to pay the other 9K. The company never had 10K to start with, the solution to this problem is that for each policy the company must have that amount of cash in reserve separate from everything else.

You can look up permit records for roofs they installed for let's say 14k with the market value at 9k while the homeowner only paid the deductible... The attorney's found a loophole and teamed up with contractors to get a premium price for the roof and top billable hour pay. I imagine some of the storm chasing only type roofing contractors are actually owned by attorneys! How long does a lender need to wait by law to call back a mortgage if a home owner can't find or pay for new insurance...? Tough times!

      Blame the Florida politicians. The insurance laws in Florida allow for this to occur.
      Here's a decent explanation:
      ICA Carter explains how the scams work:
      First, roofers canvas neighborhoods and offer inspections to unsuspecting homeowners. These contractors inevitably “find damage” on the roof and often promise a “free roof” to the homeowner, claiming they can have the home insurance deductible waived.
      Homeowners are pressured to sign an assignment of benefits form, giving contractors the right to file an insurance claim on their behalf.
      A claims adjuster from the insurance company inspects the alleged damage. The adjuster either finds no damage or far more minimal damage than the contractor found, and the claim payout is less than what the contractor demanded.
      The contractor brings legal action against the insurance company, demanding a claim payout for the contractor’s original quote. Remember, the homeowner signed the benefits of the policy to the contractor, so the contractor doesn’t need the homeowner’s permission to do this.
      The insurance company now has a choice: it can pay the legal costs to fight the lawsuit or pay the costs to settle out of court. Either way, the insurance company loses money due to the legal action.

    I have a metal roof in South Alabama, after the 2004 hurricane my insurance with USAA went from $500 each year to $3000. USAA later ran out of south Alabama like a scared school girl. Totally left the market. Now I use State Farm.

    The truth is there are very few roof scammers. A lot of roofs are damaged beyond repair and insurance companies refuse to pay for the damage even though they charge $3500 a year in premiums. If the state gives into the insurance companies people will still be paying high rates and will receive minimal coverage. People need to understand that removing lawyers from the process is probably the best answer

    • @JoshGarris
      @JoshGarris 2 года назад +1

      Actually, your premiums will go down due to the fact that you’ll have a new roof and less likely to file a new claim in the near future. Not only that, but it raises your property value as well. You pay your premiums to the insurance company to cover your home in the event that it’ll need to be replaced, why NOT make a claim to only pay your deductible instead of the entire roof that you have insured for a reason?
      The insurance companies are NOT your friends.

    Jacksonville, I would get stopped outside my home by people wanting to inspect my roof and say that the insurance company will pay for it. I would never let them come on property knowing that the 1) the job would not be quality and 2) they would stick it to the insurance. Florida created this crisis. my bill had been 3500 and this year since the original company went bankrupt, went to 9.500. I can't shop around till I get a new roof on my house.

    This also hurt homeowners as now insurance companies can put a second deductible on your policy that is equal to your hurricane deductible so if you have a $6,000 dollar hurricane deductible you will now also have a $6,000 dollar roof deductible. This legislation is a huge win for insurance companies and a huge lose for property owners.
