How much will I owe after the work is done?
Insurance will pay you 100% of the cost to replace the roof and will subtract from that amount your deductible. Your maximum out of pocket cannot exceed your deductible.
Can I get my deductible waived or discounted by KAT?
It is against the law for KAT or any contractor to waive or discount or offer anything of value to the homeowner to eliminate any part of the deductible.
How does KAT get paid?
KAT is paid by the homeowner from the insurance proceeds for the work done. The cost of the roof, for example, is equal to the final roofing estimate the insurance company issues after all KAT supplementing is completed. You agree to pay KAT with the insurance money for the work KAT completes priced at what insurance agrees to pay which is outlined in their estimate. Our representative explains all this to you in person.
Will the roof inspection cost me anything?
The roof inspection is a free service provided by KAT Construction.
If I turn in a claim and it gets denied, will that hurt my insurance standing?
Your agent will know for sure. Generally speaking, you cannot be penalized for filing claims where you believe you could have storm damage from hail and/or wind.
If insurance approves the claim, will my rates go up?
Your agent will know for sure. Generally speaking, rates do not go up individually for a storm related claim. They can go up for all customers of that insurance company in a given geographical area because of storm related losses. Rates tend to go up individually for non-storm related losses such as fire, theft, dog bite, inside water damage from plumbing related leakages, etc.
Do I need to be home when the adjuster comes?
Not at all. Our representative will meet the adjuster at your house and keep you posted on the results.
What do I owe KAT if I file a claim and have your representative meet with the adjuster?
You agree to have KAT do the work if the claim is 100% approved. If the roof is not 100% approved, you owe KAT nothing.
