Kenny,

Call Tony Scarpuzzi - he gave us estimates on the damage to our house.
We been advised by Allstate that our original adjuster "is no longer
with the company" so we must start from scratch with a new adjuster.  If
you don't have Tony's number, call me at (225) 292-0522 ext. 2045 and
I'll see about getting it for you.

I just received a call from my State Farm homeowners adjuster( after 3
1/2 months). I live at 3212 Galllo Dr. My home has a 25 foot long patio
completely gone, vinyl fascia, soffits missing. Gutters are missing, My
fence is blown down and poles are broken off in the cement chain wall.
My above ground pool wall  was collapsed on one side, and my A/C
condensing unit is blown over. Now for the good part, according to the
adjuster, and after  my 2 % hurricane deductible and $1,000 deductible,
I only have $700.00 damage. Why aren't these THIEVES being prosecuted
for insurance fraud. I thought that falsifying information on an
insurance claim for financial gain is a crime.  
 
He told me that the water rose to the 10 foot level before the winds
came.
Because of this anything under 10 ft is considered water  damage. I
asked if he saw the basket ball goal that is 10 feet high with the Lexan
backboard blown out. I stated that this is proof of high winds. He said"
I don't disagree with you but this is how I was instructed by State Farm
to handle claims".
 
I was told to get estimates from a contractor for any additional damage.
Does anyone know of a contractor that can help? I know it will be
difficult to get a contractor to spend time writing an estimate for
repairs that probably will not be started for 6 months or a year( if
they are even done at all).
