Critical: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value
Our house was destroyed in wildfires in October 2019. To date they have no done ONE single thing to the house. 6 months later the house is devastated and the insurance adjuster has threatened us. He does not return our emails nor our public adjuster's phone calls or emails. We have requested at least 3 times to speak with his manager. He will not give us the managers name and then stops responding. Told us flat out that the house will not be demolished even when our structural engineer, and the asbestos inspectors say it has to be demolished. He said this when THEIR structural engineer was there inspecting the house. The house has mold growing up all the walls, the roof is caving in more and more each week. They are saying that the abatement of the house has to be done with a special procedure due to the lead and asbestos. The house, roof, etc has been open and I am positive the asbestos has leaked to the surrounding neighborhood. I am sure this is some violation by refusing to do anything and allowing all the asbestos to leak to the neighborhood due to not taking precautions to make sure not to contaminate neighbors. The neighbors are complaining about the smell of the rotting house. Vagrants have been stealing everything and the neighbors stated that they are in and out of the house. We have gone several times (despite it being red tagged) to the house because they have done NOTHING to secure the house. They have given us VERY little money despite all the items in the house being destroyed and they agreed to a total loss of contents. We have had to use our savings to replace necessities, clothes, computer, etc. In addition they came to review the contents months after the incident, by then the house had be looted, and we have contacted the police. They are trying to save the walkway and one room of the house!! This is insane!! We have chronic respiratory issues and they think it is ok for us to save one room when all the wood is rotting with mold. The primary beam supporting the roof is broken and burned and they want to ghetto rig the beam. This is structurally unsound. Our construction company and our architect have stated it will cost more to save one room and walkway than to demolish and replace. But they are insisting it can be saved, without THEIR OWN structural engineer report. It has been 4 weeks since their structural engineer has visited the house and we DO NOT have the results. In addition, the longer we stay in the temporary residence the money for temporary housing is running out. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY TO MY WORST ENEMY. THEY ARE SCAMMERS, AND DO NOT CARE ABOUT THEIR CLIENTS.
We are meeting with lawyers now, they have taken our money for years, and when they have to do the right thing they won't. read more
