Local Factors In Maple Heights
Storms
As for storm damage around Maple Heights, heavy snow load and ice weight cause more damage here than wind does, which is why we inspect free after any significant event.
Housing
There is a pattern to the homes in Maple Heights as well: the housing here skews considerably older than central Ohio, which means steeper pitches, cut-up rooflines and decks that have seen three roofs.
Where Claims Go Wrong
- Nobody represents the homeowner on the roof during the adjuster visit
- The estimate leaves out drip edge, ice-and-water shield or starter
- The final invoice is never submitted, so depreciation is never paid
- The homeowner signs with a door-knocker who disappears
