    Thank you for not gate keeping and taking the time to give newbies an Idea of what to look for and what your markings mean.

      Thank you for your feedback! I know the audio could have been better and an considering redoing the videos with a proper mic. Also, will do one on aluminum siding.

    Public adjusters have a bad reputation in this industry. I see people in the comments being so rude to you, but I love your responses. You’re even trying to help the rude people. Thanks for the info homie

      I appreciate your feedback. It means a lot. This industry has some unfortunate bad apples. But, some just get trained incorrectly. If like to help change that. Again, thank you for the comment. It made me feel great this morning!

    Is the hammer for dinging the metal parts and shingles to secure a claim?

    • @ChicagoRoofer
      @ChicagoRoofer  Год назад +1

      We sometimes have to fix after people who vandalize a roof. But a hammer is a necessary tool of the trade.

    Lol. That close up was not hail damage. Hail doesn’t behave like a shovel when it impacts a shingle and magically scoop out all the granules at the impact site. That was a blister pop you showed us. When hail impacts a shingle, the kinetic energy will ‘drive’ the granules into the substrate. While some granules will get dislodged, not ALL of them will vanish off the shingle exposing the substrate. Adjusters like you make life difficult for the customer, contractor and insurance companies.

      Thanks for the input. This roof was paid for due to hail damage that was consistent in size. I'm not sure where I was pointing at a blister but we've found that at times damages are subjective.
      What state are you in?

  • @andecap1325

    Why replace vents with dents if the roof itself is ok? I don't thinks they would rust as being a softer metal.I see new ones would be a good indicator of hail for the next hailstorm but that is wasteful. They should invent a soft indicator pad that glues on the roof itself to detect undetectable damages...

    If you think you're going to get an asphalt roof covered under cosmetic you've lost your mind, especially marking things like the thermal blister in this video.
    If you're a roofer do not follow these instructions. Every little anomaly on a shingle is not hail and I see so many roofers try and mark it as such.
    Rubber pipe boots decaye and degrade over time, it's rubber! Thus, you will see cracks and pieces missing it doesn't mean it was caused by hail.

      Thank you for your feedback. What if I told you this roof along with almost all our claims end up approved. Even those that get reviewed by engineers.
      If you're a roofer and strongly believe your roof has damages that are owed for a full replacement, feel free to reach out to me and I will personally guide you on best practices, especially in the Illinois market

      Mark, are you a roofer or adjuster for an insurance company?

    • @nightterror007
      @nightterror007 2 года назад +1

      I would agree that the one piece of damage did look suspiciously like a blister, but I couldn't feel the texture on the other side of my phone. I would also recommend you start counting from the left to the right from the bottom of the square, so that you aren't causing damage from footfall and you continue moving up the slope rather than backwards down the slope. I am still a newbie IA and I appreciate your video.

    As for that closeup... That's not hail damage. It was a blister.

    If you do a roof claim and another property claim within 5 years, your insurance will drop you…….then the next insurance company will see you made two claims and your policy will skyrocket$$$$$$

    • @ChicagoRoofer
      @ChicagoRoofer  Год назад +1

      Typically if you get denied multiple times on a storm damage claim, you'll be more likely looked at as a high risk client. That's why it's important to get it approved for legitimate damages
