North Phoenix storm hail damage: How public adjusters help homeowners
- A storm on Wednesday hit north Phoenix near 35th and Dunlap avenues hard, with hail damage to roofs, windows, screens, air conditioning units and satellite dishes.
- A public adjuster represents the policyholder rather than the insurance company, helping homeowners through claims and repairs.
- Adjuster Galen Otis warns that out-of-state roofers and contractors will knock on doors, and says homeowners should never sign over a check before the work is done.
- Policyholders typically have two weeks to report the damage, and public adjusters take no money upfront, getting paid only when new money is retrieved from a claim.
