My husband has dealt with these consultants on a regular basis for the past 5 years or more. They always make his blood pressure rise and he gets super frustrated as they are just un-fair to the insured. They are basically a middle man between the insurance co. and the insured. They are there to take liability and responsibility away from your Ins. Co. Sounds like a good thing, but in fact they basically deny claims that would otherwise be approved but keep you from your Insurance Co. and since it's already been looked at by a "trained professional" they stick with their report. Theses consultants don't typically have any state licensing, adjuster or contractor wise and essentially are a biased third party that has no business being there. Just ask yourself who pays for theses consultants to come out and why? A denied claim cost $0, just a small fee to the consultant co. of "trained" but unlicensed professionals. The cycle continues. You can win in court or with a licensed engineer, but you shouldn't have to bother with all the frustration. You pay your premiums.
