Re: Hurricane Ike repairs
So good to hear you have a new roof! Since I live in the City of Houston, they are not going to send out letters, but my subdivision homeowners association might.
I still see missing fences, falling down fences, and blue tented roofs in my neighborhood. I have two streets that I can use to get out of my neighborhood. One area of the neighborhood was hit hard, and there are a couple of houses that also have tarps on the side of the house because the siding was either damaged or ripped off.
I am happy to report that I have done all repairs on damages reported to the insurance company; I faxed all receipts to the adjusters in hopes that they will give me a few bucks over the deductible. They called me the other day because they said they needed more information on one receipt (the one where the patio roof was replaced). I am in the process of getting the guy that did the work to tell me more details so I can pass them on to the insurance adjusters.
It's obvious that the insurance company doesn't want to pay me anything and I will have to keep after them until I do get some money. Of course, my homeowner's insurance went up in December!
I have a feeling that the folks in my neighborhood that have not had repairs done are fighting their insurance companies; I hope they didn't get the money and then not do the repairs. The lady across the street (she just sold her house) finally got her insurance company to admit they she needed a new roof; she had to hire a contractor to inspect it and he met the adjuster at her house. Luckily, the roof and one side fence were replaced before she closed on the house, so the new owner didn't have to deal with workmen in and out of the property. (It was in the contract that seller would replace the roof and the fence.)
