A crew came out to re-roof my house & garage last Tuesday.They were
subcontractors of this large roofing company.They were super workers &
did a quick & through job on the house.But the garage(with my car inside)
was another matter. Tons of debris felt though the slats on the roof of the
garage onto my car. It was totally covered in nails,dust,dirt and bits of wood
and shingles. :( It covered everything inside the garage. I was flabbergasted.
Only one of the guys spoke english & I totally forgot which one it was. I
kept walking around & yelling, my car,my car. :mad: They all quickly went
around sweeping up & helping to clean the crap off my car.I then called the
company to tell them what happened & they were very responsive & sent
two supervisors out to inspect the car.They were pretty shocked about the
whole thing & gave me money to get a car wash, so the car could be easy
to check for permanent damage. The car did get scratches all over it.
The company insurance guy sent someone out to take pictures & I took
some my self. Problem is they want to get my car fixed at no charge &
I don't know if I should just let them fix it, or should I get my insurance
company involved? Should I also call my insurance company, even through
the roofing co's insurance said they would take care of this?
