|
|
This is my question, we had some hail damage 2 months ago in Oklahoma City. Alot houses were hit and a lot roofs were repaired. My adjuster came and did an estimate of my damage and give me a check for $9.000, with $4.000 recoverable depreciation (which I dont have yet) roofers company did an estimate on my house and averadge around $13.000. My question are:
Once I get a check from my insurance company ( the extra $4.000),
CAn I negotiate with a roofer to de the job, let say, for $10.000, and pocket the extra $3.000?
2. Is there any tax issue for pocketing that money?
3. Is this legal?

Yep, it's your money. And the way most contractors work in this economy, they or anyone else will most likely take that deal.
