Roofing repair / replacement estimate question. Who locally do you trust.

[USMC88-93]

I have insurance through USAA for homeowners insurance. I called them just to find out a general list of approved roofer contacts in the Denver Metro and she was unable to provide them..... She said I would have to submit a claim for her to be able to access that info. I call bullshit but that is another story.

Submitting a claim just for the purpose of having someone evaluate my roof does not seem to be in my best interest. So can anyone here recommend a local company or two to have my roof looked at to see if it would in fact be worthy of submitting a claim on my homeowners...

Is it easy for them to determine the age of a roof? Presumably I will need new deck sheeting to bring it to current code as well. Anyway I just need to get an honest evaluation done. I do not necessarily think I "need" a new roof right now but knowing how close that high dollar repair might be useful.

I'll look at it if you want. I can't give you any quotes though.

That begs the question are you a"roofing guy" or a knowledgeable sort with enough information to be dangerous. I can set something up with you but have no need of a timetable as I said it is an evaluation of need rather than an actual need of immediate repair.

Irving use to be a property adjuster with a insurance company, now he has a job were he assists insurance adjuster. He knows what to look for when inspecting a roof.

As Snowman said, I used to be a property adjuster, and now I make my living exclusivity doing roof inspections. I work as a third party contractor, hired by insurance companies, to evaluate the roof for damage, and further to determine if any present damage was caused by hail, wind, lightning, raccoon, or any other covered cause of loss, or if the damage is a result of wear and tear, aging, mechanical damage, manufacture defect, improper installation, etc.

I am paid to inspect the roof and document my findings, it makes no difference to me of the roof is damaged or not.

I've worked claims for USAA, usually as a direct inspection, which just means that no adjuster is present.

I can come to your horse and walk you through an inspection. I prefer to have you up on the roof as well, just so you can see everything I see; that of course depends on if the roof is walkable and your comfort level with being on the roof. Of course I can't charge you for the inspection.

B&M and Academy are both good reputable companies that have been in business around here for a long time. Also check BBB website for others.

ETA. There may be a charge for that service.

Endeavor Exteriors.. best experience I've ever had with roofers.. I've dealt with many companies through commercial and residential. Came recommended from our insurance agent for the office. They were on time (minus snow delays during the project). Dealt with the insurance company without issue, kept me very updated, and worked with me through my fucked up schedule for meetings and anything I wanted done.

I can post the guys name later as I have the card at home.. but http://theendeavorteam.com/ that is their website.

It wasn't a bunch of illegals or contracted people who did it either.. They found a few soft spots in the roof (I suspected there was a leak in the area, which is what led me to finding a roofer, after finding a puddle on top of my dryer after a heavy rain). They replaced the entire 'area' with new material, pulled out the insulation in the area, sprayed it with mold kill stuff, replaced all insulation with new, and it didn't cost me a thing. They called me to tell me what they found, called the insurance agent, and got it all handled. They also handled everything with the insurance company for adjusting the quote since something else was required by englewood. They even were very patient with payment as it took FOREVER to get my mortgage company to do the checks and such.. since it was a 'managed' payout because heaven forbid I manage my own $$$. Stupid assholes and fraud causing annoyances for us who aren't crooks.

I honestly couldn't find one thing to bitch about... I mean I did find a few pieces of old shingles and a few nails.. literally like a few scraps. If my roof hadn't changed color you'd have barely known they were there.

The one problem I did have during the whole thing.. whatever company dropped the shingles, watched me leave for work as they were doing it, and then tried to gain access to the house. They were not endeavor employees... Endeavor handled that phone call well.. actually getting the owner of the other company on the phone with me. Maybe my worthless guard dog wasn't so worthless, because all they did was bend a screen.

I had mine done by Total Roofing. Quick convenient estimate was spot on, work was impeccable. They dropped the shingles off the day before they did the work, unlike whoever did my neighbor's roof (they dropped shingles off on his roof and let them sit there for over a month before doing the work). Whole thing was easy-peasy, they even talked directly to the USAA adjustor while he was on my roof so they could discuss what he was seeing.
