@qui-gonjinn9985 Good for you! Integrity is the most important. Thanks for watching.

@breakingthemold664 I’m so glad to hear your opinion. I was afraid I was going to tick every PA off with this video. You have the right attitude. Thank you! Keep up the good work, and thanks for watching!

@elliott44597 I agree, all are not bad. But this one topped the cake!

@Jaco3688 Exactly!!

@topdawg4314 Thanks for your question. A great resource for you to grab is the Haag hail identification book. This has very good examples of what is hail and what is not. You can get a digital version of it on the HAAG global site haageducation.com/s/product/digital-asphalt-composition-roofs-damage-assessment-field-guide/01t8W000005513eQAA

@steveh6688 They already called me. But just waiting for now.

@SGHvidzNthings Yes, I would highly recommend them. I worked for them before. Very professional.

@zaidmunzir1116 Watch this video czcams.com/video/bdt7P9_dT5w/video.html

@@danieltheadjuster you are on gods roster as one of the good ones. Thanks a lot 🙂

@zaidmunzir1116 Thank you so much. You are very kind.

@hairbytyger6916 Nice!

@edwardconley5250 yes, that's funny!

@onewade1974 Maybe or when the drywall fell from oversaturation. I wasn't there, so I can't be sure.

@onewade1974 great point! I think they are looking into that possibility. Crazy for a 3-4 year old house

@Jaco3688 hahaha 😆😆😆😆😆

@360AdjusterAcademy I appreciate that! Thanks!

@stopandthinkinsights I love drones for roof inspections, especially on the 13/12 pitches 😆 but the Carriers are slow to adapt this method, and currently we cannot use them. Maybe one day!!

@TaydaBandz Not sure, you may need to give them a call and see if they rent them.

@Sj-jf9ph No, I have not. Typically it will take a Class-Action lawsuit to get the Carrier's attention. haha

@zaidmunzir1116 This is a good video to watch. czcams.com/video/kvuSnIcYNww/video.html

@liquidGold79 Very good question Let me explain it this way. It’s no different than if you were going to college for four years. You would get all your training, education, build your résumé, and apply for the job. It’s no different in the adjusting world. Get as many licenses as you can afford, since this looks really good on a résumé, and it makes it look like you’re prepared for any storm event, get your level one and two certification for Xactimate, get as many certifications for carriers, like State Farm, Prepare an excellent résumé, then apply to as many firms as possible. They will look at your résumé, see that you are prepared, and give you an opportunity. With none of this on your résumé, it’s no different than a high school dropout trying to apply for corporate position, with no education or training.

@@danieltheadjuster Ok, thanks. So all the licenses and certifications look good on the resume to get you on with firms. Would one know how to adjust a claim if deployed by a firm without ever having done it? Does the training from say, Adjusterpro, actually prepare you to do the job by yourself for first time? Now if one was trying to not start IA route but wanted a staff position, would it still be beneficial to do all training and licensing on your own before applying? Or do companies prefer you come in green and they provide all that?

@dennyb5062 Not sure, could mean that the flashing was damaged. Or they were notating a front left slope.

@st.ordjacobs848 That’s a loaded question, but watch my earlier videos. This will help you get started.

@paulmichaels-bw6vt Thanks, you’re welcome! Good luck

@PositivePulse123 if you are considering the calculations for a catastrophe, your income would be much higher. Potentially you could make $25-$35,000 during the one month catastrophe, depending on how many claims you were assigned, and possibly more if you were given a second round of claims. Your calculations for the hotel were correct. Catastrophes are very profitable.

@Jaco3688 Glad you like them!

@kirkbrown958 Sure. You could be a flood adjuster or do only interior damage. Still very good money to be made in this type of work. Even desk adjusters make good money.

Treat it like a bunch of small water losses. If you can do a 1 room water loss, you can do a 50 room water loss. 👍

@MT-ye4xe Yes, these types of claims can be tricky even for us. haha

@breakingthemold664 Good point!

@behaisaemmanuel3396 You got that right!

@behaisaemmanuel3396 Watch some of my earlier videos. I explain the entire process and how to get started.

@Bustah2016 Not out of habit, am I marking multiple hits on one shingle. I’m just looking for damage. As far as the valley, it doesn’t matter what shape my 100 square-foot test area is, it’s just about the density of damage. There’s no rule that it has to be 10 x 10.

@@danieltheadjuster I was asking because most of the time they want different shingles. All of the carriers I’ve done claims for if it’s feasible to do a 10x10 test square. Or a 20x5. Then do it. This might have come across wrong because I’ve been asked by contractors about why you would do a test square in a valley. If you can show them that there is hail damage not on the same shingle and the granular loss it will help you and the insured. This is why I don’t mark the same shingles.

@Bustah2016 Damage is damage, no matter the size of the test area. There is a lot of flexibility in the documentation.

@bruh-cg9xc You can certainly learn from your Dad for sure. He will be the best teacher.

@behaisaemmanuel3396 Very Good! Thanks for watching

@luckystar4um I tied it to the front railing 4x4 post. You can tie it to any tree, a toe hitch, tire rim, or deck post. Anything where it won’t move.

@Sebastian-oj2gu Cougar Paws Climbing Boots amzn.to/3x733Mv

@luckystar4um yes, that would certainly help in this situation, but the location of the downspouts would need to be better as well.

@@danieltheadjuster yes sir, the whole section to be safe. Do it right once, do not have to do it again.

@luckystar4um Correct! Correct!

@steveh6688 Yes, but it seems like two stories are very common.

@sawiahschmidt1583 Glad it was helpful! Thanks!

@markwashburn8479 Yes, they will work in any version of Xactimate except the trial.

@mariapino1129 That’s a wonderful arrangement. Congratulations!

@buddybrown9614 Thanks for you response. I am glad that you found my channel. There is a lot of information out there, so take your time and learn it thoroughly. It might be in your best interest to focus on desk adjusting positions. This is a really good stepping stone to field work. Lot into the firms have starting positions like that. This will get your foot in the door for greater things.. Thanks again for watching!

@weslawsonsilverback Thanks for your question. At this time I am not offering a course, but I think if you watch a lot of my videos you will begin to get a good understanding of the process. There are lots of courses, I just don't keep up with all of them. Check out Alacrity and see if they have classes. Best of Luck!

@mr.helper.s Thank you! Glad to help!

@JShirls1921 Awesome! Thanks for your comment and keep up the great work! Thanks for watching!

@JasminThelemaque-lf8mo That's a tough question because everybody's work ethic is different. Independent would be best. Stay away from a staff or employee position. The harder and more efficient you work, the more money you make. CAT work is the best but it does not occur all of the time. I really like daily work but again, it is hard to get these positions. Desk positions can pay about 90-100K, so that is great as well.

@@danieltheadjuster thank you so much for your tremendous support by answering our questions so thoroughly. But is there any discrimination towards female adjusters ? Do you think they are at a disadvantage in comparison to males ?

@JasminThelemaque-lf8mo No, I don't believe there is any discrimination in this position. In fact, I think there are more women as Desk Adjusters. haha. It is a great career for anyone that has the desire to work hard to succeed.

@@danieltheadjuster you are awesome Daniel 👏👏👏

@JasminThelemaque-lf8mo Thank you for your kind words!

@theagilelifestyle Thanks for your question. Yes, this is definitely a full time career, and should be treated a such. Independent Adjusting is not a casual position and is nothing like working as an employee for someone else. It will take a special mindset of determination, self-motivation and persistence. If we stick to something, we will always succeed. If we put half-effort into something, expect the same results. I think anyone with determination can be very successful in this career. It takes time, but it can be extremely a fulfilling and lucrative path.

@danieltheadjuster Thanks I appreciate your feedback

@JasminThelemaque-lf8mo Anytime!

@michaelsalmon8087 Yes, there are many steep roofs in NC. I think most of the homes built today in this area are two stories.

@@danieltheadjuster just finished wind/hail deployment in Houston. There’s a few of those around, but definitely not as common as NC.

@michaelsalmon8087 Very good!

Daniel I’ve been blessed to be a rookie adjuster and to have daily claims in NC but I’m getting 6 claims a week but on average I have to drive 2 hours to each claim. Is this normal for a daily adjuster?

@steveh6688 That's amazing! Pretty typical for a rookie adjuster, I must say. There are probably other experienced adjusters in your area and you are getting their leftovers. The ones where they have stated in their profile that they only drive 100-150 miles to a claim. The leftovers area normally a lot of driving. But stick at it, try to get them to pay for mileage, and you will gain experience. Keep adding your name to rosters, and let them know you are handling daily claims. This will be a big plus!! Great Job!!

@ViperFPV Most Public Adjusting firms will hire Adjusters. I was just solicited the other day by a PA to come work with them. 😆

@princeigajah742 Yes they do. It is a very comprehensive list that you can also continue to build upon. The information is invaluable.

@LauraLeeBooth Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the feedback!

@jefersonpatino ITEL is typically not needed on a shingle sample unless it is a very unique or different shingle than the typical shingles around your home or subdivision. I rarely need an ITEL report on shingles.
