Hail Damage Repair 2023 Micro Minnie TT

[jqueen]

Hello,

My husband and I bought a 2023 MicroMinnie in August. Three days later, a huge hail storm hit the area and we have damage.
A repair guy left his card so we are using him for the insurance repairs. Thinking we maybe should have gone back to the shop where we bought it for repairs- not sure if a difference. Anybody have any thoughts on this? We were thinking it would be faster so we could hopefully use it this year, but now, wrong parts ordered, trips back and forth for parts- probably just should have taken it back to the dealership.

It has been our experience in dealing with a variety of people who drive our area, that going with the fly-by -night is almost always a mistake.
We have many groups who drive into a neighborhood searching for work. These groups seem to just blow around and often do not have a permanent location, nor permanent
staff.
In this area we call them storm chasers as they are often around just after a major storm.
But consider what that leaves you if the work is not correct. From the start, there is the question of how well trained the people can be if they have no permanent jobs?
Where do they get supplies?
Can they actually do a good job better than folks who do it all the time?

But the biggest problem is when they don't do it right! Where do you find them?
When we bought our house here, we were still out of state when a hail storm hit. The local real estate group had a roof replaced but it is terribly shoddy.
By the time we got here and found what had been done on the roof, nobody could find the roofers and Texas is about the worst place to try to get any business to be reliable or responsible.
In Texas they call it "business friendly" but what that means is the business has no real reason to be responsible!
We have worked to fix the defects and hope to last long enough. Legal action doesn't work if nobody knows where they went!

Thank you

Thank you for your response.
Makes sense. Hopefully, this gets done and done right, and next time- back to the dealership with us.
Thank you again.

We also had storm damage on our new trailer. Dealer told us 6 month wait list at least because of all the RV’s damaged in the storm. I ask our insurance adjuster for recommendations. His first choice was who I called. Had new roof on and all other damage repaired in less than two weeks. Excellent workmanship.

Do you have roof damage

 

[Highpockets-XRD]

Yes. 90 mph winds tore up trees and limbs flying all over. Some blew across the roof ripping holes in membrane. One piece of limb actually pierced the wood underlayment. Also had to replace skylight. Amazing the solar panel was not damaged only metal trim.
