The roofer doesn’t come up with replacement cost. The insurance company does. This guys a joker.

He has to go outside, in the snow, to lie for his videos because his wife is sick of his crap.

Not only that, but this guy acts like the contractor gave a quote that’s $8,000 overpriced and the insurance had to agree. Most often the insurance assesses what they will pay and that’s that. (Before supplements 😉)

My neighborhood is Fridley and the houses are all different.

I get every dollar I can from insurance 😂

I don't agree with everything that Dimitri says, but he is right about this. $18,000 for the roof behind him in that video is not out of range. Some of these guys are selling roofs for way too cheap. This looks like one of those guys that thinks he knows everything but has no experience. Let him start carrying bundles of shingles around for awhile and see if he still prices his roofs the same.

My neighbor just got a metal roof not even shingles and it cost 22000

I need an autograph from u droog.... Strom group og

Replacement costs vary depending on the situation. A great public adjuster knows how to use the coverage policy to justify payouts for higher quality construction.

So, what I'm hearing is.... this guy doesn't know how to write a proper estimate for his clients and certainly isn't concerned about ensuring that they are properly covered and compensated.

I highly doubt he meant every single roof he does, regardless of size, materials used, ect. cost exactly $10,000.00.

Roofs vary so much in price, just by changing little things like what brand, thickness, type of felt, etc

Go ahead and low ball, the insurance will be happy to chop the depreciation and give you your 10,000 and keep the 8k.

I mean… if it’s a spec home neighborhood with only 2 or 3 different elevations and 2 or 3 different floor plans (most American subdivisions built within the last 20 years are like this) on top of the fact that most ACC/HOA requirements now stipulate “beautiful 6:12 roof pitches”… there is a very high likelihood that this guy’s “neighborhood” of like 40 to 80 houses all indeed have almost the exact same 22-30 square 6:12 roof…. So no. I Can understand he may be bullshitting but i wouldn’t say “absolutely insane”

Bro, you’re a pretty damn good fighter my guy congrats on the win

Wanna bet whether those 10k roofs had workmans comp?

People need to mind their own business. Why do you walk over and start talking to somebody about their roof if he’s not buying a roof or installing roofs

Guy gives real roofers a bad name.

I'd tell that Man you could always become one I've been doing it all my life and definitely make good money for my experience

type of roof,difficulty to do the job,and how many squares/ measurement ......your meter works perfectly😂😂👍👍

We make good money working out in the elements lol

All steaks at every restaurant should be $15.99, a ribeye is just a ribeye right?

A roof costs like $1.2k and yall just agree not to do it for less than $15k. They you actually get up on the roof and do a dogshit job unless the costumer stands there and watches you the whole time.

Was it the same company that installed roofs in a small town?

My roof was 20 years old. After 2 high windstorms, I was missing around 30 shingles. I had a $1000 deductible. The cost to repair was $1200. I waited until summer. Cost me $16000 to replace my 43 square 10/12 pitch roof.

I remember you 2 talking on an interview over a year ago. Whatever came of all that?

Know days material alone so expensive

I just did a roof for $16,800... this is some cheap ass work if it is only $10,000.... or a really small house!

cost about 9k.... doing it myself

I wish my roof only cost 10k 😂

If he can get me 10 grand for my 16 square gable roof, i'm down

stay blessed out there

If I'm a ia that all this PA is getting is 10k

You are the type of roofer to quote 20k on roof with straight face. There other hard working roofers that’s will replace roof for under 10k. Just because you rip your customers off does it mean other should as well.

depends on what they supplemented in coukdve had bad sheathing etc...hard to say til your on it yourself

That

This dude is a roofers worst nightmare the avg cost 10000 grand wat a dummy

U look like Sean Pan

I remember seeing that video some time ago and it looked like he was standing infront of his house, if so, the houses didn't look like cookie cutters. Maybe built in the 60s or early 70s

I disagree with your Dimitri. I just did a replacement that cost $9700 and some change. Two houses down a guy approached me and asked for a quote. He also mentioned he was going to get other quotes from other people. He got a quote from Honest Abe Roofing and they quoted his roof at $17,500. I quoted the same roof at $10,250 and some change. Houses built in the same neighborhood usually are within the same ballpark of price especially if the covenants and restrictions of that specific neighborhood are very strict. Your correlation to a car getting T-boned, and how it is exactly the same is so far off in comparison to a specific neighborhood which has specific guidelines the builders must follow when building their homes. On the other hand, if you were to use a scenario where 10 Toyota Camrys, that range within say 5 years of age for this example were all T-bone on the same side with roughly the same speed by the same car, then it would make more sense and your numbers would look a lot different. My scenario is much more applicable to a neighborhood that experiences wind storms over the course of five years. This is a poor correlation Dimitri I expect better.

You know I have been watching some of your videos about public adjusters because I have hail damage and State Farm won't cover it. What I found out, and what you have never mentioned, is that public adjusters are not interested in residential roofs at all. They are only interested in commercial claims that are in the $100,000 dollar or more range. A residential home owners roof is just not worth their time. I found one public adjuster who said the only way they would get involved is if they charged at least 50% of the claim ( "maybe" they said but not likely to take it on ). So a home owner really has no recourse to take on an insurance company - unless they are rich, which in that case they could just pay for their own roof up front.

Made a good point demitry on the money those type of contractors are just ripping people off doing everything half as due to underbid job and not enough to cover all material and labor

The house is in his neighborhood... we can deduce from that information that the houses in his neighborhood is roughly the same size. There will of course be slight variations in size and, damage and claim ammount. That being said, there is no way in hell there is an $8,000 variance. Your BS meter is broken

So true dimitry, this guy is a scam artist
