i make it a habit to park and snap a car picture on i95 every hurricane...it's been 12 years.
top 2 pictures are of my probe back in 2005 for wilma.

bottom 2 are my current honda element, for irma.

Still no power, but they at least started removing the trees on the line.  Neighbor's friend lost his home in Naples, said it is just flat out gone.  Just glad I'm not dealing with that.

The entire neighborhood now has power except for 3 streets.  Yeah, we're on one of them .. Wife is about to lose it 😀

That completely sucks.

My last friend without power got restored on Friday.

I'm hearing bribes apparently work? lol

[HFK]

Finally got power back tonight. Had some flooding and wind damage, still don't know the whole extent.

No power here. I few lines running back were "disturbed" and obviously I'm not a priority.
It's pretty bad.

All I've been doing all week is clearing, cutting, and sweating my balls off.
River came way up. Made a huge mess but other than shingle damage house made it ok.
It pounded Brevard County pretty good.

How is everyone making out with insurance claims?  I haven't had anyone from my insurance company look at my damages yet.  I am sure I am a low priority as it is just my fence.

If Wilma was an indicator, adjusters are going to be beyond overloaded. Wilma affected a portion of the state, Irma affected the WHOLE state. And of course there are still many people without power and basic needs, including those who work in the insurance claims industry.  Step one is getting people back to "normal".  As long as your claim is filed, you should be in the system.

Good luck!

anyone know any roofers? The insurance company wont cover my damage due to deductible vs claim

supposedly lost some shingles and some pulled up nails -- it allowed water into the house and I have water damage to the ceiling of my gameroom, kitchen and hallway..

Looking to at least get the roof shingles replaced/repaired to keep any MORE water out.. everything else will just have to be fixed at a later time.

Anyone?

Insurance companies are offering adjusters double the standard rate to get them to work FL cases as most are in TX right now.

As for roofers, they’re a lot in the state  without license nor insurance and you have to be careful. There is a GC that’s been working in the Orlando area if your interested.

13 years ago after hurricane Wilma and the next two, the only ones I could get to do my roof was Home Depot.
Very expensive but a lifetime warranty. (I just used it to have a leak fixed for free).
Good luck I hope you find someone.

Ya thanks.. just talked to B.G. Grace construction - they are going to come out and patch the roof for now to keep any OTHER water out of the roof.. and hopefully get an eyeball into the situation to see what they would charge to do the rest of the work..   Right now I have an adjuster quote of about 6500$ total for fixing the roof, ceiling work and repaint.. but If thats what the insurance company is coming in at.. I am thinking maybe 2-3g for a private contractor maybe to do some work..

Im not replacing the roof if I dont have to.
