My roof got damaged in Ida. Filed a claim and adjuster is coming out next week. Ryson wants a contract signed and they would come out at the same time as the adjustor to be my advocate for roof replacement. Premier South is giving the same without a contract. Redstick roofing is also going to do the same. None of them have so far seen the roof!

Any advice on who is better of these in workmanship and dealing with adjusters? I am doing this for the first time and I don't know whether Ryson is better in dealing with adjusters and finding problems or Premier South.

Garcia definitely. They add the personal touch that goes all the way.

They don’t really work with the adjusters. The adjuster is either going to replace the roof or not. Also, the price is going to be exactly the same regardless of the company. Whatever the scope of loss says plus deductible.

When I had to replace my roof for hail damage I didn’t use Ryson because they required a signed contract before the adjuster came. I’ve used V&V roofing for two separate roof replacements and was happy with their work.

It is my opinion that Ryson makes you sign the contract because they are going to up charge for any item that is not a replacement in kind. V&V was able to add a few extra amenities for the same price of the adjusters quote.

I had a similar experience with Ryson and did not use them because I had a minor repair and they were pushing for an entire roof replacement which I did not think was warranted. However if I was looking for a new roof I think I would definitely use them as I think they are good at getting approvals

I use Garcia because that's who my contractor used when my house was built. They have always been responsive when I call.

That said, David Brown at Ryson is a good guy. I wouldn't hesitate to use them either.

I replaced 9 roofs at a complex I own about 4 months ago. I called Premier South, Ryson, and Garcia. Garcia blew them away with professionalism and service. They were the most expensive but easily the best.

I called ryson a few weeks ago about a localized repair on my roof. They kept talking about getting my insurance company involved and trying to get me a whole new roof. After about the 6th time talking about the insurance company, who I didn't want to get involved, I told them no thanks.

Don't use Ryson. They're scumbags

Can’t get anyone at Garcia to call me back. Premier is responsive.

Got a new roof via Ryson in spring of 2020 with a seemless process. That's the extent of my experience.
