Hi Shawn, 

Thank you for your advice.

We have found the American process very complicated believing it was due to being based in the UK and not really understanding why everything was taking so long. It seems from your posting that it is normal to wait months for news.

The agent in our insurance company said if he was us he would go to a public adjuster! 

We have contacted a couple of adjusters but they just don’t reply, maybe I am asking the wrong questions. If you have the name of a good adjuster I would appreciate the details. 

Other than needing the patience of a Saint do you feel it is worth going to a private adjuster? I would value your opinions.

Thank you

Thank you for the advice. 

Hi 

I have a property in Orlando with a claim for a new roof that has now been going on with the insurance company for many months. Their adjuster is reviewing the papers!

In the meantime I have a family living in damp conditions fearful of what the next storm will bring. The insurance company no long reply to my emails. 

Is anyone able to give me the name of a good public adjuster in the area and a descent insurance company, having waited this long I feel that once the claim issues have been resolved it’s time to move from ASI.

Another question if you are not satisfied with an insurance company 
is there an official organisation you can approach. 

Thank you so much everyone, I’m so glad I used the site, the information I have received has been extremely helpful. Thank you and Happy New you to you all. 

Thank you, the information/advice was very helpful and has provided some clarification for me. 

Thank you for your time and responses, I will be sure to check the points raised.

Thank you

Hi, apologises if this is the wrong forum to request advice on insurance claims. Following the recent storms in the US my Davenport property sustained roof, window and interior water damage.  I contacted the insurance company and was sent a cheque for a 1/3rd of the repair estimate . I believed I paid for the best premium available on offer, nearly $4000 per annum so was extremely disappointed by the offer. My question,  if I don’t pay in the cheque but pay for the work to be done privately would this still be classed as an insurance claim? Sorry may seem an oblivious question to most but due to being based in UK and having communication probs with insurance co. I thought I would seek independent advice. 
Also advice would be welcomed on the cost of replacing a shingle roof measuring 53ft x 58ft completed by  a reliable trustworthy roofer permitted to carry out work in Florida. 
thank you very much.
