Well, This repair shop ALWAYS replaces the deck on all roof jobs. NEVER had any insurance company balk at this. Ask the Adjuster, IF you do not deck and the customer is upset(THIS WILL HAPPEN), when he sees all the debris and old glue causing small bumps and uneven rubber, will the Adjuster then auth a complete new roof WITH decking? I will bet you are dealing with Progressive or Geico. They give us the most trouble on damage estimates. Doug
BTW, we will NOT do a roof job unless redecking is done. We had to eat a roof 12 years ago and we will not do another one without decking. STICK to your principles. Tell the customer you refuse to do a half *** job. I will bet once the customer talks to his Ins agent, the job will be approved. Agents have a LOT of power to get things done for their clients.
