re: Respectable roofers in the Gonzales/Prairieville area

It's not that it doesn't make sense, just doesn't seem necessary I guess.

I've never filed an insurance claim before so I shouldn't really say that what you're doing is wrong.

What would you do if the roofer says you have damage and ultimately an adjuster denies the claim?

Not sure but I'll worry about that if/when it happens.

What if the roofer actually comes out and tells me I don't have any damage at all? Then I don't have to file an unnecessary claim on my insurance.

Because having claims on your policy is bad. A good roofer will tell you if you have damage that should warrant replacement, borderline damage or little to no damage. Roofers don't want to have to meet with adjusters when there is not damage when they could speed their time at homes with damage where they will get paid...

Thanks for explaining

Look up Coco Wilson. He's a real professional and a great guy. He's done our roof twice in the past (not because of shoddy work but because of hurricane damage). I highly recommend him.

Don't use Garcia Roofing.
I got hit by the same hail storm and they came out to look at my roof. Told me there was absolutely no damage. Every other roofer who has inspected my roof since then literally, I do mean LITERALLY, laughed out loud when I told them what Garcia told me. Every other roofer who's inspected my roof told me I have severe hail damage to the singles. I even climbed up there myself and I can see with my untrained eyes large spots roughly the same size as the hailstones were where the singles have absolutely no granules left. Some shingles are even cracked.
Needless to say, Garcia Roofing isn't getting my business now or ever in the future.

Call roofer, call insurance, have both of them there during the inspection. The roofer is working for you during this process.

If new rook is awarded then you can negotiate the price. Price should be about 10% under what the insurance quote is.

I used Premier South Roofing, Shane 225-247-5505. He is out of town until next week, might be able to leave a voicemail.


Fwiw, Garcia said there was $500 in damage before the insurance replaced the whole thing.

This is useless on an insurance claim, the homeowner's policy is an indemnity policy. The homeowner is not going to make a profit, the roofer is going to work for insurance proceeds and the recoverable depreciation will insure that the homeowner does not pocket any money, unless the roofer is your friend or performing fraudulent activities...

I would call Joey Nola Roofing
225-445-3007

-added bonus, he's Austin & Aaron's uncle

Recoverable depreciation, ever hear of it...
