My house burned downed about 4years ago...due to kids playing with fireworks. And even when my house was burning we were bombarded by (what I call Vultures) so many contractors to use them!
What I would like to warn everyone about is we were also bombarded by "Public Adjusters." They preyed upon our emotions and assured us that if we hired them they would get MORE money for us from our insurance company. They told us that it doesn't cost us ANYTHING to obtain them because they would be paid by our insurance company. I asked them to their face.."Do you get a percentage of everything, like our total loss of contents and, etc."? And those PUBLIC ADJUSTER VULTURES!! lied to our faces and said "No"!
They had all our clothes in the house sent to a special cleaners to have them all cleaned from the smoke damage. Now mind you, this consisted of my husbands clothes...mostly jeans and T-shirts, mine son's (yrs) mostly jeans and T-shirts, and mine..I had a few dresses (sun dresses) and jeans and shirts too. Our family didn't have any "Dressy" type of clothes, infact most of our clothes were worn and old. And it costed us $10,000.00 to have our "OLD" and "WORN" clothes cleaned! And a lot of items they couldn't get ride of the smoke smell. I wish to hell the "P.A. Vultures" would have instead given us the $10,000.00 so we could buy new clothes. I could go on and on about what a RIP-OFF these Public Adjusters are! They didn't get us anymore money than the insurance co. was going to give us..infact soon as our Insurance Co. found out we had a "P.A. Vulture" they started fighting us on everything. And the "P.A. Vultures" weren't there to help us!
PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT USE PUBLIC ADJUSTERS!! THEY WILL PRETEND THEY CARE AND KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO BE A FIRE VICTIM! BUT ALL THEY WILL DO IS TAKE 10% OF EVERYTHING!!
MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH ALL THE
FIRE VICTIMS! AND TO ALL THE FIREFIGHTERS
WORDS CANT DESCRIBE HOW WONDERFUL YOU
ALL ARE!
