This is the Mascotte page for denied roof claim help. The short version: you want a second opinion after the carrier said no or paid too little, and you can have it without a salesperson at the door.

Ridge and soffit ventilation added during a replacement often does more for the roof's service life than upgrading the shingle line. Most homes here went up in the 2000s building boom, when production builders installed the least expensive shingle that met code.
What it costs in Mascotte: reinspection is free from our partners; if the dispute escalates to appraisal or a public adjuster, those are paid from the recovery, not up front.
Many Florida carriers now offer policies that pay actual cash value on older roofs rather than full replacement cost — worth checking before you assume a claim will cover a new roof.
How it works
For a large disputed claim, often yes. They take a percentage of the recovery. For a straightforward claim with clear damage, a good roofer's documentation is usually enough.
Ask for the report and photos. Get a roofer with claims experience to document the storm-specific damage the adjuster didn't attribute. Request a reinspection with your roofer present. Most reversals happen at this step.

Mascotte is inside the everyday service radius, so there's no travel surcharge and no "we'll be in the area next month."
