Hail Damage in Ohio

I don't think I'd give him that much credit......he's just been a "part" of the scheme for a while now. As far as competing with the pro's on this, forget it. They've got insurance company adjusters in their pocket and can promise the homeowner a seamless transition from chaos to "it's fixed". The first thing they do is take the homeowner "off the market" and get them to sign away their rights to use another company. The car business people do it all the time. They'll give someone a new car without getting final credit approval. If credit is denied they take their car back. In this case the chaser just keeps stringing the homeowner along and if they bitch they show them the contract they signed. Your best bet is to run some newspaper ads and show that you're a local company who will back up your work and warranty. Also state that you work with insurance companies. Put specific wording in your ad that states, "Avoid out-of-town storm chasers, they'll take your money and run". You have to get down and dirty to compete with these slime-balls because they have absolutely no problem taking every job out there.
