Their repair processes are punishing to the homeowner
The roof on my home was damaged just over 1 year ago. It took the year to get the insurance company to cover the cost of repairing the roof. They will only disburse the funds across 2 (and possibly 3) checks. Per SWMC requirements, the checks were made out to them and to me. SWMC requires a very cumbersome process in which I send them the checks as they arrive and they only disburse a portion of the funds at a time to the roofing company (it also sounded like it might come back to me to then pay them, adding another step, but this was unclear). And at the end they will only release the remaining after they inspect the roof. They don't have a contract with the roofing company; I do. Their process has taken an already stressful and 1+ year hassle for me and my family and made it worse by adding more time-consuming (time I do not have) obstacles to getting my roof repaired. I'm the one that gets punished by these processes (after suffering damage to my home). I would have hoped for more empathy as evidenced by a more homeowner friendly process.
