Insurance Co. pays on roof damages less then the estimation

Insurance Co. pays on roof damages less then the est. Lien holder retains 50% of amount, Lien issues check to vendor for material (less 50%); vendor places order for the est. cost - 50% of the total cost is now on hold; who is to pay the 50% missing, that the lien holder is holding on too - they said they won't release the amount until the project is completed.? Help?

The repair company obtained a contract stating you will pay the remaining 50% when the work is done and does the job. Problem solved. If a roofing company wants 100% of the payment before they start work, I'd run away from them so fast.

For starters, insurance paid less than estimate most likely due to depreciation and your deductible. Depending on your policy, the depreciation may be recoverable upon completion. As for the 50% your lien holder has, they will most likely send their own inspector out before releasing it. You need to call them to confirm.

Ya.. I have also faced this difficulty. I was not given the amount until my work was completed.
