I did two jobs for Allstate this week and I'm already hearing that they think my prices are too high.
On the smaller of the two jobs I gave the homeowner a guesstimate estimate of about 3k plus tax.
The lady from Allstate over the phone told me that they don't send out adjusters because they just do it over the phone. She also told me that my prices were too high.... I find it strange she can say that when she never saw the job or what was involved or even knew how much equipment I had in. It's also strange that she said they just do it over the phone when just two days earlier I met with their adjuster on a different job. Strange....
I am lucky that the homeowner would simply prefer to pay me the 3k with a credit card and deal with the insurance company himself.
But I am worried about the bill I submitted a couple days earlier for 5k on the other job.
I've never had an issue with an insurance company yet.... My prices are run of the mill standard stuff, how can they tell me I am too high?
This may be my first problem with an insurance company and would like some advice on getting paid if they give me a hard time. I am not interested in cutting my price...
