We did get a check for the roof!! But, still...the deductible is so high I'm not sure if we can get it done?! The pitch on the roof(s) is so steep that it precludes us from doing it ourselves. The ins. company even allots an amount to cover the steepness, since roofers charge more for that. We also need to get rid of the asbestos tiles on the garage before the ins. co finds out about it. We weren't being secretive about them, I just think they gave us the policy site unseen when we moved from the old house. The adjuster pretended she did not see it and advised us to get it taken care of soon. She was very nice and informative...she went out of her way to help! What a blessing. She wasn't the local adjuster-she was from the catastrophe team and lives close to OKC. She was a God-send to us!
Now, to get some other estimates. The Ins Co.'s estimate is $9500. The previous estimate was actually cheaper...he had the flat part of the roof and the workshop included in his, which would bring his guess in lower than what they are allotting for.-Since they didn't include those 2 items. So, we'll see what we can get done over the next year...which is the time limit they give us.
