      - this is the question. they haven't been dicks to me in the past with other claims, but this is a pretty big one. -- nm - Reagen Aug 17, 19:55 3
        
        This was our issue with home issue. We never had a problem until we needed a big payout. - David Aug 17, 19:59 2
        
        There's also a few grand more of (fairly indisputable) damage to our car, the railing on our front step and a screen door - Reagen Aug 17, 20:15
        
        I've heard it really pays to hire your own independent adjustor for major claims, they will usually find stuff your adjustor will try to ignore or you - zeitgeist Aug 17, 20:08
    - OMFG. -- nm - loosi at home Aug 17, 19:42 1

    - sheeeeeit. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 17, 19:35 7
      - if they pay it, it's Merry Christmas to us. I suspect we may have a fight on our hands though - Reagen Aug 17, 19:37 6
        
        I hate the look of stucco - can you just tear it down and put up plywood? -- nm - Beryllium Aug 17, 19:38 5
        
        I love the look of stucco, but I've always heard that the maintenance can be a nightmare. -- nm - mara Aug 17, 19:40 4
        
        Brick is my favorite look for a house -- nm - Bacon Aug 17, 19:42 3
        
        did you have brick on your ex-house? -- nm - loosi at home Aug 17, 19:43 2
        
        It was hardiplank type siding -- nm - Bacon Aug 17, 19:55 1
        
        which would be our other option but I think it's more expensive. -- nm - Reagen Aug 17, 20:08
Did a lot of people get hit? That factors in. -- nm - David Aug 17, 19:28 6
- It was a pretty big one, but this was a contractor that we called independently of insurance. -- nm - Reagen Aug 17, 19:29 5
  - I know but my point is that if he knows his services have gone up in value, his prices expand as well. - David Aug 17, 19:31 3
    - oof. there are supposed to be laws against disaster price gouging. -- nm - loosi at home Aug 17, 19:45 1
      - There are but you have to be willing to litigate to have them enforced. - David Aug 17, 19:52
    - fair enough. There's certainly an issue that they all have a vested interest. - Reagen Aug 17, 19:44
  - (it's being compared to a storm a couple years ago that ended up costing 400M in claims) -- nm - Reagen Aug 17, 19:30
$5,000. -- nm - loosi at home Aug 17, 19:22
