Rant: Another storm chase client stiffing on Owens Corning shingle job

Just wrapped a hail damage roof in Owens Corning duration shingles for $18k and the homeowner is dragging their feet on the final payment, claiming the insurance adjuster shorted them. It's these storm restoration gigs that turn into a crap-show every time. Guy in The Contractor Fight Facebook group warned me about this exact BS with insurance claims.

Goddamn insurance companies are the real thieves here, always lowballing claims on storm jobs.

Document everything from the start, photos of every damaged shingle before tear-off.

Same crap, my crew did a $15k GAF roof after that tornado in the midwest and the client ghosted us for the balance.

Insurance hell, they approve the claim then drag it out forever.

These homeowners think we're the enemy, but it's the adjusters screwing everyone.

Storm chasers flooding the market makes it worse, underbidding and skipping proper claims process.

Felt this in my gut, just lost $4k on a shingle repair because of delayed insurance.

Join the club, every storm season it's the same fight over roofing supplements.

Heard a tip in Roofing Pros group, always include a clause for claim assistance in your contract.

Ugh, same story here with a Duration shingle tear-off, client blaming us for adjuster's BS.

Insurance companies unite against us roofers, time to push back harder on claims.
