Roof Replacement Due to Hail Damage
StarStarStarStarStarBy -
Rating: 5/51

HOUSTON, TEXAS -- The initial contact with Travelers to report a roof damage claim was handled very efficiently. An adjuster contacted me the following day and was on site at the scheduled time shortly thereafter. After inspection of the 14-year old roof for hail damage, I was told that there was sufficient damage to warrant a new roof. The adjuster returned to his vehicle to access roof repair costs from his computer, prepared a cost estimate for the roof replacement and provided me with a check for the depreciated value less my deductible.

Once the roof was replaced and I provided Travelers with receipts for installation and associated payment (via scan and email) Travelers emailed me the final reimbursement figures for my review and subsequently notified me that a check was in the mail to cover the remainder of the costs for the roof replacement based on the contractor's final cost for the work. The entire process was handled in a very efficient and professional manner. I would highly recommend Travelers for homeowner insurance.

My Claim For Water Damage To My Home

CARLISLE -- I called Travelers and explained my situation. They gave me a claim number and told me to call a restoration company. They emailed me a list of approved vendors. I called one, they came and removed all water soaked and/or damaged parts of my house. The restoration company's crew was polite and very respectful to me and my home. The Traveler's Claim Representative was fantastic. She called, emailed and completely made me comfortable that things were being taken care of... I have lived in my home since 1971 and never filed a claim before. Because of my experience with Traveler's I be a loyal customer forever.

Roof Damage Claim

ALBUQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO -- If you are a senior citizen or someone unable to climb up on a steep roof then you need to stay away from Travelers Home Insurance or cancel immediately. After a windstorm blew off a shingle I called a roofer to repair it. The roofer immediately noticed hail damage. So did the Travelers Adjuster who climbed up verified that there was extensive damage from a storm a few years ago. The Adjuster said that the damage was covered. No problem. Then Travelers reversed their position stating that the damage was more than a year old and therefore I should have climbed up on the roof after the storm (I'm nearly 70 with severe arthritis) and they would not cover the damage!

Funny since a neighbor with Farmers had damage from the same storm and Farmers just replaced his entire roof without question. The roofer told me that he's replaced several roofs in the neighborhood damaged from the same storm covered by other insurance companies and he is floored that Travelers is the only company he's encountered that has refused a claim. So be smart if you're presently "covered" by Travelers or thinking of using them. They will cash your checks fast enough but if you need help they will find a way to walk away. As a Realtor, that's certainly the advise I will give to clients, friends, and neighbors. Travelers, it seems to me, preys on the elderly.

Travelers Provided Top Notch Customer Service!

PERRY, KANSAS -- My husband and I had a fire in our home and we dreaded the call to the insurance company only because we had heard so many stories about the claims process. Thanks to two wonderful claims agents, our experience has completely changed our attitude. Mike and Sherri from Travelers Insurance went above and beyond our expectations of customer service including their timely follow-up, excellent communication regarding the process and their caring and professional attitude.

Although I was giving them all the credit for our positive experience, they were quick to give credit to Travelers - a company they feel backs them up on doing the right thing and taking care of the customer. We have shared our experience with friends and family and highly recommend Travelers as a solid insurance company who will take care of you when you need it most.

Damage to car claim

HOUSTON, TEXAS -- A school bus side swiped my car. I couldn't identify the specific bus. I didn't have comprehensive coverage and I thought I would have to have the damage fixed out of my own pocket. My insurance adjuster explained to me that I had coverage for property damage caused by a vehicle that was not identifiable. Travelers arranged for a free estimate at Caliber Collision not far from my house. Travelers arranged for a free loaner car. My vehicle was fixed in a short period of time. The damage was around $2000 and all I had to pay was $250. I was really surprised at how helpful and pleasant every one was at both Travelers and Caliber. Just a good experience.

Business Loss

Rating: 5/51

ATLANTA, GEORGIA -- We are a landscape architectural/engineering firm in Columbus, GA that experienced a loss of property due to flood damage resulting from pipes that froze and burst in the basement of our historic home business office. The flooding that occurred destroyed over 100+ boxes that contained anywhere from 10-50 (30X42) sheets of drawings, blueprints, design plans for over 160 projects from as far back as 1992. Payment for the basement cleanup would have been minimal and no big deal which ended up being around $4,500.

The real loss was the loss of these hard copy original documents that would have to be found on computer or storage media and reprint those project files. The cost to do just that was estimated at $35,000. Upon our submission of pictures of large wet boxes amassed into a rented dumpster along with our computer file of the named boxes & projects lost, the claims dept paid our claim not due to loss of property, because there wasn't any, but paid our claim due to the loss of our years and years of work documents so that they could be recreated. Thank you Travelers for providing small business with an excellent Business Liability policy that covered the intangibles.

Claim for Car Repair

PORTLAND, OREGON -- While traveling south from Okanogan, WA at night a herd of deer decided to cross the highway between our car and northbound traffic. It was totally dark out and in an instant, the road was full of deer. Our car hit three, killing two and the pickup truck going north hit two, knocking one into the side of our car. Our car had severe front end damage, about 8800 dollars. Travelers did a great job in handling our claim, very professional and friendly, and our car was repaired within three weeks. I couldn't believe it. I was very happy with Travelers.

BOSTON -- My car was parked in a parking lot where I live, and a neighbor ran into the back of it while it was parked. Their insurance company tricked me into allowing them to handle everything and by the time I spoke to him I got my insurance company back I had already let them tow the car. But, the woman was having my claim she was very nice and help me as much as she could and then just handled everything in a timely manner at the mechanic shop so I think I jumped the gun too fast and I really appreciate Travelers support and help me through the whole process. It was wonderful!

Hail Damage Claim was Comprehensive, Timely and Fair

NEBRASKA -- We had extensive hail damage to our property and called immediately. They explained to us what to do if we had water coming into the property and that we would receive a call from the adjuster within the next day or two. We did and because of the amount of claims for this area, we were given a different adjuster from the one who called.

They explained that the claims receiving immediate attention were those without roofs... understandable. We received a call shortly and had an adjuster on site within a week. They did a comprehensive evaluation, sent us the claim that same evening! We noticed additional damage after he left which was hard to see on a cloudy day and they were very accommodating, accepting the pictures we sent. We feel they were very fair and any time we had a question, they responded immediately. Some expenses were under calculated and they were very fair in making these adjustments.

Defective Shingles and Wind Damage Claim

Rating: 2/51

LAWRENCEVILLE, GEORGIA -- I received several notices that the shingles used in our subdivision were defective. I researched the companies and found one was accredited with the BBB and had them come out to inspect the roof. There were cracked and raised shingles all over the house. I called Travelers who came out today with an "impartial" inspector. I have cracked shingles on 3 sides of the house, but not enough to warrant replacing the roof. So while I stood outside in the heat, their adjuster sat in the air conditioned car waiting for the "impartial" inspector to draw out the diagram.

No surprise here... 26 shingles are bad, so they will replace just those. Oh, and since my shingles aren't made anymore, I have to get something close so the roof will look patchy... AND, well of course the cost would be less than my deductible. He kept explaining "their policies" - replace just what is bad and not the entire roof.

By the way, now that is summer, the ones that were raised are stuck back down due to the heat. So a year from now when there is more damage, it will be less than the number needed to replace the roof since 26 will now be "good". What a disappointment. But they sure have great commercials.
