Buyer beware! These are some sneaky little bastards. about a year and a half ago we signed up to receive their work in exchange for taking 20% off xactimate pricing ( or so we thought). Apparently it's just a ploy. We never got a single job from them for 9 months. Totally forgot we had the arrangement with them until: During the freezes in January they tried to give us 3 jobs. We declined them all as we were covered up with work. However, apparently the insurance company contacted them after we did the job to "negotiate". in the paperwork we originally signed it states < in the fine print> that ANY job they get involved in we have to take the discounted rate. Likewise it's not xactimate pricing - it's their already discounted pricing minus the additional 20%. We got paid $6300 on a $11k loss. My mistake - a lesson paid for......
Swore we'd never work with them again and made sure we were removed from the program.
We landed a job yesterday from a referral. It's 3 levels of sewage. Within an hour CODE BLUE was trying to hijack the job and say that we needed to have their paperwork filled out ( stating we were the contractor and they were to collect payment) and send them a scope of work!!!
i refused as we don't work for them. He tried to convince me and said that he would get me paid quicker. I laughed and said it wasn't his responsibility to pa me because he isn't my customer nor the insurance company. (just a third party looking for a payday) That's when the representative became NASTY and threatened to send a another company out there to get my guys thrown off the job if I didn't comply.
I informed him that's called "tortious interference" as we have a signed contract and hoped he would as I'd get paid a mint from his company after I sued the shit out of them as i had a signed contract... He apologized and hung up.
Just wanted to share my experience and give you guys a heads up in case you plan to get involved with them.
Best of Luck.
p.s. if there is anyone in atlanta that isn't doing the reconstruction we would be happy to pay a 10% referral.
