That's called insurance fraud. If your roofer says he's doing that....then he's committing fraud. Read your policy




Aside from the fraud part, companies are cracking down just on the payout side before the fraud can be completed. You can tell pretty quick with an inspection what is damage and what is just an old damn roof.

Do you even CC reward points bro?


Many contractors tack on a CC surcharge in the neighborhood of 3%, which— depending on the rewards program— isn’t necessarily a good trade off.

It is one of those expenses that costs a lot but you get absolutely no fun out of the purchase (Other than not having a leaking roof.)




I always view tires the same way. $1500-$2K for nothing.

Its trashier to write a check. OT ballers pay in cash...Franklins and Jacksons.

Oh, I tried. They refused. I kept waiting and waiting for a hail storm that never came and after the third roof leak I had to break down and pay out of pocket.

And my uncle is our insurance agent and he went to bat for us, and still nothing.


hrmmm....I know of 3 hail storms we have had in Baton Rouge in the last 6 months.
