The truthful answer is NO. Many find that your average roofing company all too often offers to “waive” or “absorb” the deductible from an insurance claim, thus committing insurance fraud. This offense is punishable on a state jail felony scale, and by default would incriminate the homeowner as well. It is illegal so don’t be fooled! Nevertheless Patriot Roofing & Restoration is committed to doing everything we can to help with the cost through legal means. We strongly caution to not do business with a contractor claiming they can eliminate or absorb a deductible. Transparency and honesty should come first!
