Have you ever wondered what an insurance agent might have to say about your roof repair? Here in this blog, you often get our perspective as a roofing company.

But did you know that we regularly get calls from agents asking us to come inspect a client’s roof? Here are a couple of insights on your agent’s perspective when it comes to getting your roof repaired or replaced based on our conversations with insurance agents.

Adjuster knows best

After an adjuster determines that your roof should be replaced, they will tell you how much the insurance company will pay to replace it. But shouldn’t you get three or four estimates to get the lowest price? Isn’t that the best thing to do? The ethical thing to do?

Not really, no.

In fact, the insurance company has based the cost on what it will take in materials and labor to replace your roof properly. You could shop around, but it won’t save you any money. It may save your insurance company some money, but you could end up losing in the long run. Suppose you choose a cut-rate roofer who skimps on quality and takes shortcuts? That could lead to roof damage and failure due to poor workmanship.

An agent wants what you want

Your best interests are also your agent’s best interests. They want to keep you as a client. That’s why they want to make sure you’re happy with your roofers and their work. They care about you and your property. Just like you, they want the roof repairs done with the highest quality. The whole process reflects on them and their relationship with you.

In the end, your agent wants you happy and your home in tip-top shape.
