Peter shared some great tips. He said contractors should build relationships with adjusters before storms happen. This can be done by attending their conferences and meeting them. When a storm is coming, contractors should let adjusters know they are available to help.Peter also mentioned that adjusters need contractors to confirm repair estimates.

Adjusters prefer working with contractors they know, rather than strangers.We also discussed the importance of knowing what is covered by insurance and what isn't. Having a good relationship with an adjuster can help with this. Finally, Peter explained that contractors should not charge for helping adjusters during inspections.
