Is This A Scam, Or Just Good Business?
The way the letter came in, you just know where the insurance company staffer is coming from and how he feels about the situation:
“In the past year or so, we have started to experience siding installers seeking neighborhoods for hail damage and telling homeowners that their damage is covered under their HO policy, and that they will actually call the insurance company for them if necessary. These individuals are able to redo complete neighborhoods at the insurance company's expense. Often the hail damage is from months prior. Are other parts of the country experiencing this scenario, or is this an old (for lack of a better word) scam that has been around?”
