7 Replies and 3753 Views Stucco question  3753  7 Started by  suzukini Hello again everyone, I hate having to ask this, but I will be the first to admit I am very unexperienced with stucco finishes, especially seeing them here in CA without any wall sheathing on the interior side.  Wind driven rain caused water to enter this attached garage which has in turn caused the felt backing of the stucco finish as well as the interior wood paneling to have staining. My question is this:  is the damage on the stucco felt layer something that needs to be replaced o...

0 Replies and 2367 Views TN Permits and working under NAFTA  2367  0 Started by  stormcrow Starting to hear stories, Canadian Nurses refused TN permit. This is certainly a concern for Canuk adjusters wanting to work south of the border in the USA. Will they be refused entry, the agents certainly have the power to refuse anyone. And if movement southward is blocked, will Canada block US adjusters In the last couple if years many US adjusters have worked in the great white north. Most under a TN permit. Something to watch and would love to hear from any Canuks who cross or t...

9 Replies and 3754 Views Identify this  3754  9 Started by  suzukini Not claim related,but we are having the hardest time trying to figure out what the heck these metal clip-like pieces are for.  Anyone have a clue  They are spaced out randomly on the tile benches and raised walls outside a building here in Florida.  The clips do not move, are bolted from the top but also do not attach along the edge like it would seem.

0 Replies and 2741 Views Vinyl siding repair  2741  0 Started by  stormcrow I am seeing more companies repairing hail hits on vinyl siding. I understand that they patch in a matching or similar pattern and then computer match the colour and paint the patch.  I am curious on the long term, Will the patched hole stay in place and will the matched paint fade at the different rate the original siding. Five or ten years from now will the insured be left with a poka dot pattern on the side where the repairs where done.

3 Replies and 4513 Views What is an Adjuster good for Anymore?  4513  3 Started by  hollenmail I know this is long, but please read, at the end there is a twist and I hope that my experience will help you or someone else. Thank you for reading. Adjusters should be owed the right to share their experience's with 3rd party companies & carriers alike because we are the heart of the claims process. The worse the economy gets, the harder it becomes to be an adjuster and/or manage a 3rd party claims handling firm. As the adjusters fees go down, the demands go up. The carriers are hiring mor...
