0 Replies and 3244 Views Acquiring Check From Insurance Company  3244  0 Started by  sklu2003 I have just been assigned a big church contract to inspect and create an Xactimate estimate for their roof.

I have full authority to interact with the insurance company. My question is How do I tell the insurance company to send my company the final check (payment) instead of sending it to the church Because if it is sent to the church, it will ta...

1 Replies and 2464 Views Siding Matching/Color  2464  1 Started by  boydsp How do you handle original vs faded color on a siding claim and a potential repair If the original color/product is available and the rest of the siding is faded do you go with the original color/product, or do you try and go with a color that matches the faded color If you go with the original color it should over time fade to the existing faded siding, where the faded siding match color will fade over time and at some point will not match the existing faded color.

15 Replies and 17293 Views Be a Better Adjuster; Take Better Photos  17293  15 Started by  Jud G. I am primarily a field adjuster, but have worked a few stints inside to improve my field skills and see what other adjusters do to get files closed.  Taking photos is one of those simple tasks that is very easy to do poorly and many examiners (sadly) have gotten to the point where they only review photos and don't even read reports anymore (there are numerous reasons for this, but a separate forum/topic should address those issues). The biggest issues are not with the failure to use the bu...

0 Replies and 2175 Views Gas Station Canopy  2175  0 Started by  tishgold Does anyone have specific experience in writing the line items for an old gas station canopy  A tractor-trailer operator thought he could cut the red light at the corner and drove through the gas station lot without clearing the canopy over a pump.  Damage looks cosmetic only, not structural.  Better yet, if you have an actual .esx file you can share that'd be quite helpful.  I have photos available.  Thanks.

4 Replies and 27706 Views Discontinued Shingles  27706  4 Started by  DStin214 I'm sure many of you have come across this (or will) at some point in your career.  This may help some of the newer guys out there when determining repair vs. replacement for a risk roof.  There are so many different discontinued shingles out there that it would be too difficult for any single person to list.  In your travels, what are the most common types of shingles that have been discontinued that you have noticed  For me, it would be: Owens Corning - Prominence ...

26 Replies and 34991 Views Thermopane windows with blown seals  34991  26 Started by  Goldust
(Topic has multiple pages1 2 )
 here is a topic that should generate some interest. In the course of my adjusting career I have many times ran into insureds claiming that their thermopane windows developed leaks from the named windstorm. Mainly you will see fogged over windows and in most cases if you look closely you may see the internal seal bulged out of its original position. &160;I would like to hear how most of you make a decision on coverage for these windows and how you handle it by repair or by replacement. Every ca...

(Topic has multiple pages1 2 3 4 )
 We all use basic geometry in our profession.  For instance we know that the area of a gable roof slope is the base times the height or that a triangle is the base times the height divided by two.  Here are a couple that are less common.  What formula would you use and how would you determine the square footage of the following   You visit a farm after a windstorm.  The domed metal silo is damaged.  How would you calculate the square footage of metal needed to rep...
