How many carriers will pay an extra $25 or so for a 2 story inspection? Granted the roofer's charge for the 2 story roof will increase the gross loss, but for the same size house, the 2 story roof is smaller. It is more work (and more danger) for me to take out my heavier two story ladder and climb up two stories instead of one. Does the vendor have to be pushed to include this extra, or do the good vendors insist on it or include it automatically in their negotiations with the carrier? Should the extra fee be split, or if the vendor adds their own "technology" fee on the bill that they don't split, shouldn't this fee go 100% to the adjuster? How about an extra charge for 9/12 pitch and up?

You have to expect this in the mix of things, and just accept it. How many times do you have the easy walk-on's where you get the same rate as the 1-story 5-6/12's?

Exactly, A funny side note, I had a roof claim on a large home in Arkansas, 3 sides were underground only about 2 feet of wall exposed, then a typical hip roof above ground. The roofer called and wanted a high charge, because the south side of the house was a two story. It sort of hung off a mountain. I laughed, he laughed, he called the supervisor, supervisor called me we all laughed. He was persistant, I don't if they relented, but I didn't. When I left over a month later, they were still getting called. Oh yes and the fee bill was about $500, and I never pulled my ladder out. JWG

I have not seen on in many years. In the very cold states in tornado ally, that had basement houses. The intent was to dig out a basemant and let the stone or walls stick out of the ground about 36 inches and then build the frame house. The owners would just put a flat deck and built up roof and live in the basement until they decided to go up. I had one in Denver owned by an 80 year old old maid and she coated the built up roof with mobil home coating by herself.
