Race over Roof

by lovemylife50 » Mon Nov 05, 2012 11:10 am

Please read and you will understand why I feel this way. On October 23rd, I called American Family Insurance concerning roof damage. I called three other roof companies to get an inspection, too; and all three companies arrived and examined our roof. Individually, they said the same thing: I had roof damage from the hail storm dated back in May. J
ay Umbaugh, American Family’s Property Claim Field (Senior) Adjuster, came over November 1st to inspect my roof. Promptly after, Mr. Umbaugh informs me that it wasn’t hail that damaged my roof – but I disagreed. He then made a ridiculous assumption that there was nothing wrong with our roof, so I told him that I am going to contact his boss. Before Mr. Umbaugh’s departure, said to me: You people are always looking for some money." I took his statement as an insult, as I’ve had American Family Insurance for some 35 plus

If you have any neighbors in the area that may also have hail damage on their buildings roof, you should get them to report it as well. From what I understand if enough people in the general area are reporting it as well they are pretty much forced to take action. At least that's what a residential roofer once told me.

As far as the agent, maybe you should have one of the roofers that conducted the inspection to contact him. Sounds like you could use some back up. They are probably familiar with the situation, and have dealt with it in the past.
