Mr. Crist,
I've had work done by Steve Bohanan. He  certainly seems to know the business, but pricing is above average.  (He is fully licensed and insured.)

I too have suffered wind damage from Ike and all of the wind storms since then. I noticed a few shingles in my yard from the winds with Friday nights storm. I intend on calling my insurance company to see if it is too late to take any wind damage claims. Do any of you recommend a reputable roofer or should I take that advice from my insurance company?]]> Sun, 20 Jun 2010 11:24:43 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1319&PID=19509&title=wind-damage-claims#19509 Wind Damage Claims : Here are a couple of things that... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1319&PID=18691&title=wind-damage-claims#18691 Author: Mike_Presta

Here are a couple of things that you can do:
 
1.  Move out of those high mountains in Iowa.
2.  Shop around Spencer, Iowa, for an insurance company that pays off in U. S. Dollars instead of Pounds Sterling.

We had an "interesting pitch" from a door to door salesman a few days ago.

The guy had looked at our roof and noted wind damage.  We already have a contractor that we intend to use when we decideto pay for a tear off and new roof.

The existing roof is at least 15years old. Our guy toldme that the shingle damage is tolerable for now but we definitely need a newroof within the next couple of years due to normal weathering and heat. (I know 15 years is "quick" but we did not have proper attic ventilation for years, and the last owner of the house replaced the roof and the guy he hired was kind of an idiot.)

The door to door guy's "special sauce" was that one of the owners of theircompany was an ex-insurance adjuster and could in theory get ourhomeowner'sinsurance to pay for a complete roof tear-off and replacement.He claimed that the age and prior condition of the roof didn't matter.

I thought "scam!" because ALL insurance companies assess the condition of the item being repaired for aninsurable damage. The guy was super persistent. I told him that we did not want to continue the conversation, good day.

This is a scam, right? It sure didn't smell right to me.

I didn't get the name of the company but I glanced at the badge he wore on his shirt and I think it was a Middletown based company.

Maybe I'm wrong about the scam thing, though.



Not a scam. I guess  it comes down to how honest you are. I had more than one person remind that my clearly old roof Could have wind damage. Well, I know that it is just old. I'll replace when ever.

Then I found these reviews on him, same thing:

Haha, I love that site. Look at the Kmart reviews.

Always a bummer that contractors aren't consistent in their services. I think sometimes it depends on if they need them money, ya know? If they are broke then they do a great job to get paid, if they are doing alright, then they might not return calls and stuff. JMO.

That's why I always hate recommending contractors to people... sometimes makes me look like and idiot :-)]]> Sat, 20 Jun 2009 18:33:18 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1319&PID=7520&title=wind-damage-claims#7520 Wind Damage Claims : Mercy!

Mercy! Pretty incriminating isn't it? Sorry you folks had such a bad experience with him. Really surprises me based on the good experience I had with his company. Just goes to show you how inconsistent some companies are at providing the services they promise. I had no problems with him from the time he first showed up at the door to the contract he wrote to the installation of the roof and the cleanup after the job was completed. Kind of , isn't it?]]> Fri, 19 Jun 2009 15:44:27 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1319&PID=7475&title=wind-damage-claims#7475
