              Horrible to deal with. The adjuster never responds to emails or phone calls had to take to a higher level to get any kind of answers. When they did make an offer it was unreasonable, I supplied 3 quoted to fix damage and their offer was less that half the cost. Many damaged items missed that were claimed and they won't put any offer in writing. Their estimators Peak's quote was used for the other 3 quotes but yet I keep getting told they only fix the damaged area this is exactly what these other quotes did. I just want the damage fixed I'm not looking for money Wawanesa should hire a contractor to fix the damage them self. I pay premiums yearly for what to do their work and not to have my property damage covered fully. ** *** *** **** *******
