HAIL: The difference b/t a Hail Hit and a HAAG Hit... 25977 28
Started by Jud G.
I sat through a vendor training seminar a few months back and walked away stunned at what I heard. During the seminar, we were told that a hail hit on a composition roof had to penetrate the asphalt backing. Close-up photos need to show a hole on the back side of a lifted shingle to confirm and justify the hits within a test square. Conditions not Qualifiying Hail Damage:1) bruises where the black tar was now visible due to the removal of the granular ballast (go...

Tryin to reason with hurricane season 3970 16
Started by margar1
Well here it is another hurricane season fast approaching....
The age old question is at hand...do I chase the money or stay commited to the vendors that are slowly building up my daily claim volume. I have already turned down some midwest hail events out of loyalty but if and when the first major cane hits what shall I do.It seems as though with the updated hurricane outlook for this year we may not even get a major cane.
decisions...decisions....hmmmm

My search didn't turn up what I was looking for so here goes...
I am sure many of you all work through a 'Firm' for daily claims in your area and some of you work directly for the carrier (as the 'IA firm'. I am in the process of getting hooked up with a few firms to keep me busy in the area so (hopefully)I won't need to pray for a hurricane or big hail storm every year.

Days gone By 3334 2
Started by CatAdjusterX
Hi guys,
So for starters, I am only looking for responses from experienced adjusters who have been in the game a miminum of 5 years (not just licensed for five years but have five years of work experience.) Normally I would have posted this 'query' (take that CatDawg!! LOL) in the Adjuster's Den. However, whilst I only want answers from experienced hands, I want our newly licensed brethren to have access to the answers provided. Hence why I am posting in this forum.
For the experienced:

Many like me have had very bad experiences with Parr Inspections. Parr Inspections mobilizes too many inspectors and leave most of them with too little work to even cover their lodging and travel expenses. I got curious about who is behind “PARR Inspections”.
This is what I found:
- Two companies own “PARR Inspections”: Dewberry & Davis LLC http://www.dewberry.com/ ( tel. 703-849-0247 srosedewberry.com) and the URS Corporation http://www.urscorp....
