We&39;re not talking huge dollar amounts, but they are MY dollar amounts.

Uh...WHAT?  6701  0 Started by  vsadjuster So I am in Florida cleaning up insurance claims after Hurricane Irma and I call the attorney representing a homeowner to schedule the inspection. The very first words to me are 'do you own a gun' I was caught off guard. Is this a trick question We don't bring weapons on inspections! I asked why and he responds, there is a 700 lb. bear that lives at the property. Well my usual insurance related questions are out the window as the topic is now 'Bear'.

0 Replies and 2996 Views Change of Profession? (experienced large loss and cat adjuster)  2996  0 Started by  BobDoLe I appreciate if you'd let me pick your brains for a moment here. I've got about a decade's of heavy cat adjuster experience (working in house for one of the major carriers) and about 5 solid years of large loss experience also. All of this has been in residential construction. I have a 4 year degree (BBA) that I haven't ever really applied.  The pay is good, but the travel is still a bit too much 60 despite no longer doing CAT which was about 90 of travel at times. I loved CAT, but w...

0 Replies and 2004 Views NAFTA TN1 permits  2004  0 Started by  olderthendirt With the likely hood of NAFTA being cancelled there is a question as these permits were introduced as part of NAFTA . Lately a lot of US adjusters have been working north and I assume they all got TN1 permits. As always a few Canuks work south, especially when it a busy year.   Will we be able to cross the border to work in the future

1 Replies and 3899 Views THE NEW CAT ADJ PAYROLL DEAL!!   3899  1 Started by  LG2009 THE NEW DEAL! I have had several Cat companies approach me during these last storms with bogus price lists. One company wanted to dispatch me with Ins Co 'A' and pay me off a price list from Ins Co 'B'! When I questioned hem about this, I got no response. Another Cat Co decided that they would pay $100 for an inspection & scope only, the pay someone else another $100 for the estimate, and bill the Ins Co the full $700 fee! - GREED is running rampant among some of the Cat Cos. We leave our...

7 Replies and 3874 Views Stucco question  3874  7 Started by  suzukini Hello again everyone, I hate having to ask this, but I will be the first to admit I am very unexperienced with stucco finishes, especially seeing them here in CA without any wall sheathing on the interior side.  Wind driven rain caused water to enter this attached garage which has in turn caused the felt backing of the stucco finish as well as the interior wood paneling to have staining. My question is this:  is the damage on the stucco felt layer something that needs to be replaced o...
