Posted: Fri Apr 08, 2011 6:36 pm   Post subject: Roofing contract   My husband and I filed a claim on our roof. The roofing company came and provided us with a contract to sign that included a set amount of squares and the decking. This balanced out to us being out of pocket 1250.00 after insurance ($1000.00 deductable & $250 for a small section of guttering). However, the insurance did not include the decking (because it wasn't visible) so after the fact the roofing company submitted a bill to the insurance company for the decking and 6 additional squares. My question is..Are we required to pay the roofing company the "extra" money when we have a signed contract for a fixed price? _________________ Register Now to have your Insurance queries solved.	wandd Guest

Any attempt to charge you more money, failure to complete the work, or lien on your property will be overturned by a court. _________________ CA-licensed P&C Broker-Agent and Life Agent.
