Hagg

Looking into this company. Seriously considering being certified as one of their inspectors. Maybe I'll meet some you out there. Been a Florida State licensed roofing contractor and roofing business owner 30+ years. Multi states ,licensed and certified adjuster, now perhaps HAGG will present an interesting perspective .

:woohoo:

CIAK, I took their Low Slope Hail Damage Assessment course many years ago, mostly to see their approach as I was opposing them on a lot of deals.

My opinion is that they're insurance company sweethearts and use junk science to arrive at unrealistic standards that save insurance companies money.

For decades they said it takes 2"+ to damage built-up roofing, and suddenly last year their engineer told me it's now 2.5" on the same spec roof.

Secondly, it is junk science to use hail size alone - and they do not explain that in the reports I've seen. As anyone who has been in this business for awhile knows, a softball sized hailstone may not damage a built-up roof if it's soft, and a ping pong ball sized hail or smaller can damage a BUR if it's jagged, driven by wind, and/or if the outside temp was much lower than normal leaving bitumen brittle.

That said, they may be a great company to work for.

For a minute there I thought you were talking about my ex-wife. No, wait a second. That would be HAG not HAAG. :laugh:

It's some good training- you can see how the HAAG Engineers look at roofs- they have a one week course for both certifications- I got mine back in 2008- they charge a nominal fee for renewal and every five years have to take a extended course to renew- I think mine are coming up- I am also a licensed contractor and multi-state adjuster. (not 30+ years though) :)
