Hip or gable?

[kmarold (Kenneth A. Marold)]

Would you consider the first story flat roof as part of the hip/gable credit even though another roof is above? Trying to determine if its hip or gable and the rest of the building is hip.

[jfunderburk (Joe Funderburk, CMI)]

Why must you be so specific. I would simply describe the roof type as “hip and gable”. Period. Move on.

Looks like other to me.
Try posting in the Florida section.
Joe he’s asking about a wind mitigation insurance report…

[mmeeker (Michael Meeker, CMI)]

looks like the flat is tied into main so it “LOOKS” like a other from what I see.

[kmarold (Kenneth A. Marold)]

Yes I was just referring to the wind mitigation but, you can still be specific and not call it both lol. On our wind mit we called it other and the questioned so we provided the math but he said that was not the roof for the first story building. We informed him that since that second story was open we had to consider the first story flat roof. Thanks again people

Here’s a script that I have actually used twice this year…
when the insurance agent throws you under the bus because the client is not happy with the price & is gonna shop around. :shock:

Florida Statute 627.711 authorizes me to produce the 1802 form by way of my licensure, what it does not do is give insurance agents the authority to question my techniques or not accept my form. FSS 627.711 states unequivocally that the “insurer shall accept as valid” any form signed by an authorized wind mitigation inspector. By not accepting my form, you are in violation of state law. Make no mistake, I am the construction professional here, not you.

As a licensed professional, authorized by state law, I decide what the findings are by using specific recognized construction standards and the required training of my licensure. If you do not accept my form I will report you to the proper authorities as in violation of the law by way of not accepting a legal document from a licensed, authorized, inspector simply because you don’t agree with the outcome.

“Shall accept as valid” means required and not optional.

Mark that is great to have in everyone’s arsenal. Thanks for sharing it.

You are welcome sir.
Every time it happens I refer my client to another agent that is honest.

Here’s an insulting sample message from a DUMB agent trying to save the commission. Wants a change with a pic to say there’s a roof to wall connection???

Please contact your inspector.
The building has no attic to access but he must put those favorable features in the Roof Deck Attachment and Roof to Wall Attachment. A supporting photo should also be included which would be a picture of the top of the roof and a picture of where the wall meets the roof.

As you can see on page 4, he indicated that he completed the required training. If he’s able to do this, please resend and I will review.

That may work with the agent (to a point), however, the underwriter has the right to delay the credits and override it with a reinspection. So, a retail report is not gospel.

[mgoldenberg (Marc Goldenberg, Inspector # HI1365)]

It annoying, the true motive of this type of agent.
