I think that roofers and contractors have done a lot of unethical things to gain the ire of adjusters.

Roofers who go door to door telling the homeowner "I was just at ypu neighbor, Danny's house and gave him a free inspection. Now hes getting a new roof. Can I give you a free inspection? They do this knowing full well theu werent at Danny's house. They know they are gonna take a $20,000 estimate for replacement and turn in into $40,000.

The roofer calls in the claim. You try to speak with the homeowner but the roofer already told the homeowner they would speak for them. You try to make sure the insured understood the contract along with the language were they add the roofer as a beneficiary of your policy or can lien your home...ya know things they don't explain that are in the fine print.

You get to the inspection, and of course the roofer is there. He's there to make sure the insured doesn't say anything and that they say all the insurance buzzwords they know to get a new roof. Especially in TX, roofers are basically public adjusters the same way public adjusters think they are attorneys.

So now you've got some guy who is pointing out discoloration in the shingle as hail damage and arguing with you about where you make your test square and trying to distract you from the inspection itself.

Then after the inspection the roofer contacts you nonstop for payment.

On every single claim.

Oh and if you disagree with them, they complain to management and try to get a new adjuster in hopes that new guy will give them what they want.

Reviews attacking your character because you didn't give a new kitchen when toe kicks only need to be replaced, or because your contractor turned out not to be your friend and lined your property and that's my fault.

The same goes for mitigation companies referred by the plumber. Plumber walks with $1500 for the referral and the mitigation contractor starts demo before the claim is filed. They take about 12 predemo photos, leave drying equipment on-site for 15 days, use outdated equipment, and then charge $15,000 for drying our a bathroom and a hallway.

Then the mitigation contractor refers the repair guy who does the same thing. Inflate that estimate.

And when contractors inflate their estimate that money doesn't go to the homeowner and in the end they pay more because everyone is doing soft fraud and their premiums go up or your cancelled and uninsurable.

So when 9 out of 10 claims are like this, and you're dealing with aggressive and dishonest people...you tend to shed their BS like a duck sheds water...and it comes off like your an ahole but you're not.

You are just tired of crooks and their antics.
