Roofer Vs Adjuster Ladder Fight
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 бер 2023
- Roofer and Insurance Adjuster fight on a 2 story ladder. A large condo complex was directly impacted by Hurricane Ian with severe damage. Roofing tiles were blown off the roof and scattered throughout the property and windows were blown out. After 5 months the insurance company has denied all coverage of damages without a proper investigation. When we met with building consultants/adjusters to discuss the damage to the property things turned south 23 feet in the air before the inspection started
I am Lee Haight owner of RRCA and I am the people's roofer.
Insurance's companies wrongfully deny damage and underpay claims.
In my 20 year history working in storm restoration I've seen the worst.
Now Im on the frontlines of Hurricane Ian witnessing it again.
90% of legitimate roof claims like the one in this video get denied.
The insurance company systematically delayed the process and denied coverage.
I've dedicated my life to helping homeowners fight back.
I fight to Protect Your American Dream .
The value in your home is most Americans most important investment.
It's hard to find a roofer you can trust and at RRCA we know that Transparency builds trust.

Get on someone's ladder knowing it's a liability concern...get in their face and scream at them on a roof...mount a ladder and overload the weight capacity while someone else is still on it...and filmed it all so everyone could see you act like a fool. Checked pretty much every box possible for stupid behavior.
@@Realitychecksforu Has NOTHING to do with trying to do good work for a homeowner... has EVERYTHING to do with liability. That guy could have easily brought his own ladder, put it up and climbed HIS equipment that HE is insured for and then, calm down with the overzealous emotions.
I'm a building inspector and my insurance does NOT cover anyone else for use on my equipment. Therefore, it IS a liability issue, period!
@@Realitychecksforu The original posters first and second sentence IS ABOUT the ladder and you made a commented on his comment. Hence, my comment to yours.
Maybe you should articulate your comments a little better.
So, with all that being said, we will disregard your comment because you didn’t understand it!
@@twotone3426says someone who doesn’t work in the industry, doesn’t know the liability laws, and doesn’t know much of anything. There is no liability. The guy is on the ladder of his own accord, on video, with witnesses. Please just stop talking about stuff because you think you’re an expert after watching a few YT videos. You may not know it but you sound like a clown.
Yep, dude is definitely a punk.
What kind of roofing contractor doesn't have a ladder? It should have been "OK, no problem." and then set up a ladder right next to theirs. This drama was counterproductive and completely unnecessary. Don't have one with you? Go to the nearest Home Depot and buy one. I really don't get it.
Right
It's a ladder what's the problem he uses it?
Most type 1 ladders have a 250# rating, pretty sure climbing down the ladder when there's already someone else on it surpassed the 250# limit.
Dude, you made this video and it just made you look like a damn fool. You were very out of line and they had every reason to respond to your behavior like that. No excuses, that was wrong behavior
It is a liability to have someone climb your ladder.
It can be. The person who stands the ladder can be liable of injuries on said ladder.
85% of ladder accidents happen on the ladder.
If your going to talk liability for injury on the ladder. Then the ladder has to be placed on the job properly in accordance to OSHA and insurance regulations. One the ladder wasn't even secured to the building properly. They are scammers.
@@brettsurrett4596even more reason not to use there unsafe ladder.
You think no one ever told him that?
I would bet you $1000 that those were licensed adjusters and your just saying that to make people believe you are right. Come on man! You have to have a license to do claims in Florida and Texas! They were there to try to help and YOU and only YOU are the reason they left. I’m not real sure I know of a so called roofing expert that doesn’t carry there own ladder with them. It’s 100% the adjusters and insurance companies liability if you fall off there ladder. You should know better.
and from his attitude, he would be the first to sue.
**** I have a tree on my house, the adjuster was there yesterday, he didn't check the opening of my French doors or my windows, but spoke on the window screens. Used my ladder, because, he didn't want to get his off the truck.
I meet with a roofer today.
I’ll take that bet. He said he only makes recommendations. Let’s see if you are one of those few that keeps their word.
This is embarrassing. I can’t believe the guy posted his tantrum and showed how nasty of a person he is. I guess ignorance is bliss 😂 He thinks he did nothing wrong 🙄
LOL... he's like a telephone tough guy, keyboard cowboy, emotional lefty, adult child, etc.
What’s embarrassing is people like you who go into the comments on YT to criticize people because you spend all day apologizing and accommodating. So this is your one chance to speak your mind. Pathetic. This guy is out there fighting for homeowners. Those guy work for insurance companies, and screw people over for a living. They are happy to do crappy work, just for the paycheck, knowing they’ll be back in Texas soon. Which is why they’re there to begin with. Because no one instate wants to ruin their reputation.
Rookie...bring your own ladder! Third-party inspector is totally correct in that he is NOT an employee of the insurance company but a 1099 and this situation boils down a liability issue.
home depot parking lot school of roofing
step 1) smoke crank
step 2) finance a lifted cummins or duramax
step 3) spend every waking hour of your drug fueled bender finding elaborate ways to powertrip with random people about everything from nailing patterns being off by 2 microns, to yelling at the supplier, all the way to finally getting the skills needed to have a barking match with the neighbors dog who appeared more dominant than you one time as you were exiting your 5' lifted duramax with a trash can muffler covered in chrome
step 4) become insolvent and go to jail
Ask before you use someone elses shit. Its called manners.
A guy I used to work for tried ordering one of this guys free books. Book never showed up, and no one could get a response from anyone at the company.
I knew then he was an amateur, but this video and everything between him and Dmitry have proven my hypothesis.
Rookie. Only rookies don’t bring a ladder. Only children act like he does. Children and desperate broke people.
How you going to put a ladder on a bmw m4 lol. Enough said if you pull up to a job site with that.
Consider your goal, now contrast your goal with your actions. Are you surprised you didn't get what you want? Then you should expect a lifetime of surprises until you grasp this fundamental concept.
This is exactly what’s wrong with Florida. Their insurance market is a complete disaster.
Contractors like this manipulate the process, customers, and the legal system.
What property owners fail to realize is the fact that all of this falls back on them with higher premiums and insurance carriers going belly up or leaving the state all because the swamp that is the insurance market in Florida. Meanwhile contractors are abusing the legal system with lawsuits and completely destroying Florida and making it more difficult to buy property because no carrier wants to write business there.
Florida has allowed this to happen and the residents of the state are being taken advantage of by these types of contractors and have no clue how badly it’s hurting them.
Real professional the way you handled it. We can see who the professionals are here
Lol ikr. Seems like he wanted to get a spicey youtube video
COO of a building company here, I'd hire him.
@@chazmichaelmichaels88 you need a permit
@kevinmaone6109 typically, only a building permit.
@kevinmaone6109 though this fella is licensed and insured, again, I'd hire him. He's looking out for his clients, I respect the hell out of that. You'd be amazed how poorly some builders are. You'd be even more amazed to see how the insurance world works. They are not good people. This guy, he seems like a top lad. I'd hire him for my new builds. 100%
I like how he explained in his video he wanted to catch hands. He is no better than the insurance company wanting to deny the claim. I guess for all the teenagers out here watching his videos it’s good content. Demintry would destroy this guy
Okay thanks professional UA-cam commenter.
Lee is the last guy you'd ever want anywhere near your property. He wanted a physical fight and admitted he "wished they would step up and catch these hands". This guy is a bully, not in control of his emotions, and has no business in the trade. Absolutely avoid unprofessional guys like this. Total cringe tough guy antics have no place amongst the real pros in the field. It hasn't even dawned on Lee how out of place he is. That makes him dangerous.
Says the anonymous guy fighting battles on YT…. Anonymously. 😂
@@MikeySkywalker So I'm not real-life tough?... LOL... You and Lee would make good friends.
I'm not fighting anyone, that's the point you missed.
@@DR-cm4hi I didn’t say anything about your real world toughness. I said you’re on here anonymously, while you criticize someone. It’s an objective fact. The fact that you have trouble with objective facts is hardly my problem.
@@MikeySkywalker It's UA-cam. There is a comments section. I was commenting on the posters video. It happens.
@@DR-cm4hi I know it feels natural to comment huh? You’re anonymous with no consequences, like in the real world. So, you can say a lot of stuff that you wish you’d be able to say in person. I try not to do that. I try to act the same here that do in person.
Terrible idea. Bring your own ladder. You KNEW it was gonna create a problem which is why you said it beforehand and why you did it. They probably weren’t gonna pay, but you sabotaged all hope for that. To the detriment of the insured too.
Wow. Lee had a smart strategy and really got good results with it 😂 This is one of the most amateur things I’ve ever seen.
Yes you have to understand the whole situation. These guys were not adjusters and didn’t have authority to buy . I agree very bush league of me to use their ladder . However I knew they weren’t buying the roof and I knew this would make entertaining content . 🤷♂️🤷♂️
@@LeeHaightYT I've had a contracting business for 20 years and deal with adjusters/insurance companies. I don't see how this advanced your cause in any way whatsoever. It was mildly entertaining, but I don't think you're making more than a couple bucks off the 7.6k views. The damage to your reputation in the eyes of the public (homeowners and overlapping businesses) is likely worth several hundred thousand times whatever revenue you would get from youtube off the video.
@@reggiejenkins6458I’m sure he’s doing just fine. You meanwhile, are in the YT comments anonymously criticizing someone. 😂 🤡
@@reggiejenkins6458he wasn’t trying to advance his cause. I don’t buy that you work in the industry for a second. Just another person telling the real pros what to do anonymously in the comment section.
The young man climbed down the ladder right on top of the old man.
Very disrespectful.
I have made many mistakes…
But I’m not proud of myself for my shameful mistakes.
This young man is very proud of himself for his disrespectful actions.
I feel pity for the aggressive young man.
Best to separate oneself from people who behave this way.
Brooooo insane the same thing! How he got on the ladder right on top of him like that! That’s a no no! They could’ve both been killed. Kudos to the man who went under and relieved a tiny bit of that pressure. Smh. I can’t believe the person doing all the wrong is the one who made this video lol
He knew he wanted a fight. Climb up my ladder and you won't make it to the top
Lee: *the insurance company hasn't inspected this roof*
Also Lee:
*scares away the insurance people inspecting the roof*
Use his ladder to get up on the roof and harass him. Then expect him to let you get off the roof with his ladder. Bring your own fkn ladder.💯 Edit: had to abbreviate something
Lee if you knew that you had a meeting for a job that size you should’ve brought a ladder.
You made a complete ass of yourselves and should honestly be ashamed of yourself.
Most of what drama occurred was definitely your fault no wonder you were shut down and completely ignored.
No shit bro . These guys were not adjusters they had no authority to buy . My sales rep should’ve brought the ladder I had no idea . I was just making the most out of a moment . Are you not entertained ?
I sure as hell was.. entertained hell yea you made a fool of yourself lol I love it but anyways
Terrible approach. Y’all set out to start a fight and you reaped the fruit of your labor
You’re absolutely right . These guys were not even qualified to deny , approve or estimate the damages . After we signed the Condo up with legal I wanted to walk the property and just see what they were calling damage . Typically I’d bring my own ladder but I assumed my sales rep had one which was not smart . I knew they would get butt hurt about the ladder but I didn’t care . The legal process is what will get this roof bought not me arguing with these nimwhits. However its quite entertaining considering the insurance companies and guys like this get away with ripping people off everyday .
@@LeeHaightYT that may be true that the legal process will settle it. There are better ways to handle things and they may have allowed you to use their ladder. It makes me think that perhaps you really don’t have much to show on the roof. Not to mention that the little video you made is admissible in court. That won’t win you any favor.
Typical yelling instead of being professional and paying attention to facts. You yell so no facts can be spoken. Do you expect to have anything happen when you act like a moron?
@@briangleason-wh9wx 😂
@@LeeHaightYT you are the niwit
Are you on testosterone supplements?
Ha!
😂😂😂😂
If a roofer ever talked to me like that, I’d be dialing 911
Lee, you deserve an honorary Navy Seal Trident for your grand service to the American public in your CQC battle against shadowy mercenary insurance "adjusters." Smashing the like button with my personal hammer stapler roofing tool in support of your noble, enlightening efforts. Semper Fi, Lee.

Good content ! Personally I've been taught to never go back and forth with adjuster but was funny to watch.
Those aren’t adjusters.
All that money and can’t afford a ladder
They are correct, you should have your own ladder
Yes I know. I didn’t have one. I knew it would make a good UA-cam. Those guys were already denying the roof and it was going to legal so I said fuck it.
"I didn't have one" You are full of shit.
I’m dying man!! This is great!
that could have been handled differently by all parties
"Ok guys im not gonna lie, I kinda created that drama" yeah. If they get denied its on you
No. They did not get denied. They are in the legal process and will be approved. These guys were ladder hands for a denial firm already knew the circumstance. Here in Florida it’s a completely different animal brother.
Why are both of y'all dressed like you're both about to open the closet door from the inside together?
I’d get my ass chewed out for not having my own ladder. I do t agree with the petty ass dudes and the ladder, however it is their ladder.
Homie you instigated this for views 😅
😂😂😂🤣
1. You are not required to walk the roof with the insurance company
2. If you know anything about tile roofs, they are extremely durable and very repairable
3. Show us the obvious damage?
4. Grow up
You didn't come with a ladder of your own.
The best advice i can give is to get an engineer to do a full physical condition survey and send it to the insurance company.
hey can someone educate me why theres this huge animosity between IA's (which im going to school to become one) and roofer contractors?
Most roofing companies keep their sales people ignorant on purpose, HAAG/storm damage training is pretty quick and all the information is out there for free but they teach them to claim any smudge on the roof and prep the homeowner before the adjuster/inspector gets there that they're going to deny because "that's what they do" "insurance man bad, we contractor good!". Just look at who has the incentive, roofers get paid per roof they do, inspectors get paid per inspection...
Question?? Unfortunately, my garage is also attached to my neighbors garage. It's one building but 2 garages. Our side of the roof was reshingled right before we bought it, and the neighbors side is completely dilapidated and has a hole in it. It has been leaking into our side all winter and has ruined our wall and a lot of our belongings. What do we do? Do we call our insurance to make a claim, or do we ask them for their insurance? It's also worth mentioning that our neighbors are not the reasonable type, and I'm pretty sure we will have a fight on our hands. Knowing them it could end up being a physical fight the moment we even bring up the subject no matter how nice we try to talk about it.
I've been adjusting for 8 years. That adjuster was so weak. I would have left instantly causing even more delays. SMH
Turns out he wasn’t an adjuster . The insurance companies play dirty in Florida. . It was hired contractor who was surveying damage to feel out how they can swoop in on my customer and offer repairs . They had absolutely zero authority I knew it and I was there to get a roofer vs adjuster video . So it was stupid all for UA-cam and never how I would handle if it was different situation ( real adjuster )
The person who thought this video was the funniest was the hoa president who served in Vietnam and was sick of the insurance companies shit
Not a steel toe boot in sight
You didn't try and have a conversation you tried to get them to fight. Those dudes are just hired hands.
You are Wrong sir. I wouldn't get on your ladder and you darn sure couldn't get on mine. It's a liability issue and your lawyer friend should have told you that. You're out here "show boating " to get some clicks. Maybe had you let them do their jobs and get their photos you may have gotten your concerns addressed.
“Go gEt iN yOuR TrUcKs” 😢 😭
****Be considerate.
I wouldn't want to be sued. You can't go on good faith anymore
You can see he's a trained fighter. He was trying to create an altercation. Eeeewwww
Brings back memories
Sounds like this guy doesn’t like Texans 😂
Wow, I won't be coming back to see any more of your videos! That was badly handled.
Lol, contractor is such a fool, go adjusters.
Bro all for youtube entertainment lol
Yes exactly
First of all, discontinued tiles does not necessarily mean its unavailable its just not being made any more. These are the scams that roofers always pull off
Cant wait till we see a video of him crying all beaten up talking about how he doesnt know why people are the way they are Lol
Lmfao im a cowboys fan
The old man- thats even more of a reason to get the eff out my life 😂..
The real winner
Love it
I'm surprised you left this inappropriate shit on YT
I think you showed everyone your arrogance. Get your own ladder as the inspection company technician is a 1099 contractor himself. He is required to carry CGL and W/C on HIS ladder.
You didn’t have permission to use his equipment. What kind of roofer shows up to the job without a ladder?
You had plenty of time for your introductory monologue but couldn’t make arrangements to have your equipment on hand? You had “5-months” to prepare.
The ladder assist technician is not the person to blame for your stupidity
I mean even when I worked for you in Texas 2014 the adjusters hated us using their ladders. Maybe this fight could have been avoided but maybe they still would have found a reason to make a fuss.
It definitely could’ve been avoided . These adjusters weren’t even adjusters . They had no authority to buy the roof so the inspection was really pointless. The whole ladder things just funny because we always loan adjusters , inspectors and engineers our ladders . I knew he would be upset about me using his ladder just didn’t expect that kind of meltdown .
@lee haight, your 100% lying right there. Those guys were licensed adjusters. Stop Lying to try to create your own narrative. It’s illegal not to be licensed in Florida as an adjuster. The insurance companies would not risk sending out unlicensed adjusters. Let me ask you this question? Why do you say that these are hired mercenaries? These adjusters make there money on the amount of damage they write, not by denying. If there’s damage these adjusters want to write as much damage as possible. You must have been butt hurt by an adjuster at some point or your just trying to get views on UA-cam. You obviously don’t know what your doing spreading all the lies you are spreading in this video.
Children this is what not to do! Why call this Roofer vs Adjuster if they weren't a adjuster. Lol The meltdown from both of them is comical. This is a very teachable/learning moment. Thanks for share in all seriousness
the old when a holes collide
Lee Haight deserves his poor reputation. He intended to piss them off, on a two story roof, on THEIR LADDER, THEN he goes down the ladder with the guy, exceeding the weight capacity. Had he caused injury to that man, it would be his fault. What a complete a55hat.
Lmao I feel like I’m watching Viva La Bam
You're my kinda boss
Give them hell man, i mean insurance companies always try to find a away to back out whatever its dealing with but you gotta have the insurance haha
Excellent performance, but I would like to see the insurable damage to the concrete tile. We know tiles crack off in the bottom left corners from thermal conditions, but insurable damage to a concrete tile always interests me. Please don't take my question wrong, as I have had insurance pay 50K plus because of a few wind-damaged/broken concrete tiles (discontinued) from a significant dust devil in AZ.
Hey brother, that’s a great question. I’ll do a follow-up video with a thorough roof investigation on this property. Recorded wind speeds in the area 140 miles an hour. But I’m looking for is Lift to the tile or
Deflection over 1.5 inches . I’m looking for half moon style cracks , missing/lifted tile , and damaged ridge / mortar . Even if only a few damaged tiles it’s the underlayment that’s the biggest issue . To bring the property back to pre storm condition they owe for replacement once certain tile underlayment are damaged. Forget that there is matching law and the tile is discontinued but that gets it bought as well . It’s the combination of lift , cracked tile , missing tile , water intrusion and mortar damage that makes this roof damaged beyond repair . Learning how to document tile damage and get these roofs bought is a complete game changer for your roofing sales arsenal . This is a 1.4 Million roof and potentially 4 mill GC project .
@@LeeHaightYT Thanks for taking the time to provide your approach. I'm really looking forward to the follow-up video.
Currently, I am dealing with mud-set sand-cast clay tile, classified as strictly cosmetic by the insurance company. The insurance company no longer considers this type of roofing system as part of the insurable roof. Some CRAZY Sh-t.
Insurance companies do not want to cover roofs in AZ, and I'm dealing with a big difference in the approval process.
Although I don’t agree with what insurance companies do you just harassed an old man for doing his job.
if it wasn’t for pop pop, y’all would’ve caught fades
I mean he does know how to go on roofs but if you slipped the other was would be liable so therefore you shouldn’t have gone up his ladder but brought you own tbh I’m a roofer I can’t let anyone on my ladder
Video should be called how to make a scene
That's why I am my own insurance. 0 stress with insurance companies
He said i did that for your viewing pleasure, they can catch these hands though 😅😅
"Bro, Get your damn hands off my ladder"
NOW!!!
wow.................
Hell Yes Lee ! Thanks for sharing this.
My pleasure!!
So you just video taped yourself losing a litigation case. Congratulations 🎊
Carry around signed waivers of liability just in case and give it to them
Good idea 👍
Typical that the insurance company has no problem taking your money but a huge problem with paying out
Why are you walking away from your supposed boss, while he’s trying to get an understanding?
Why would you ever post this!?!
out here doing the lord's work! good try! it's so hard to keep these people from robbing us!
Pushing his employees like that, wow, that has NEVER happened with me, WOULD never happen with me, damn these guys are push overs lol sad to be that way in life i bet, I'll sure never know what that must feel like, your employer pushing a grown ass man around, wow
This guy is so full of it! Frist if from texas they are licensed, second a jury while find him guilty of instigated dangerous activities, if he is a professional he knows its not safe to be confronting someone while on a roof and highly dangerous multiple people on a ladder while extended up that high. He's someone who must have failed to be a contractor and now trying to make it as a bs utuber.😅
LOL these guys were not license in the state of Florida. After we won full replacement cost and benefits, they offered my client half price to do the roof. the HOA president was very pleased that we got the roof approved and that hired unlicensed adjusters sent to deny we’re dealt with . I agree I did create a little drama for UA-cam . But this meeting was pointless I was not going to convince them to buy because they did not have that authority
True about falling off their ladder...
Man this sounds fun
Why didn’t you just bring your latter dude wth this is completely on you
You just embarrased yourself man. Very unprofessional
Not for nothing, but roofers are the worst. I shit you not they will tell you need a new roof if there is one bad shingle on a brand new roof. Dead ass.
Buck em, let’s go Lee
Ego trippin
Guy that walks like that and yells like.....like watching one of those Karen videos.
you CANNOT use their ladder without their permission. If you fall and hurt yourself he would be liable. I’ve been on both sides in this industry. When I was on the contracting side I always set up my own ladder. You handled this very immaturely and dangerously. Id be surprised if you faced no repercussions. Also let the other guy down the ladder first before hoping on a ladder with him. You are a hazard.
Don't use anyone's ladder unless they give you permission genius
😂😅 your jot going anywhere then he promptly leaves
Roofers are a joke
I want to go head to head with you. You better not come to Texas with that. I’ll run you out of the state.
Looked like a baby
That’s what insurance companies do ripoff’s
Be honest I don't give a f*** about roofs I just enjoy watching your videos , I wish they would have caught those hands lol
That’s awesome bro ! That’s the goal . I love that my content is interesting on its own and is reaching a wider audience ! Thanks for the support
It's risky to climb someone else's ladder, you know? Considering it's a liability. Confronting an adjuster won't benefit your case or the homeowner you're working for. If you believe you were right in any of this, you're mistaken. I wouldn't consider hiring a contractor like you, given the probable issues and red flags.
Lee is the roof goat. I wouldn’t want to fight Lee, he’s a ninja.
