We live in Louisville and are very confident our windows were compromised in the fire. We had Pella come out to determine if the damage was caused by the fire, but Allstate, our insurance company, did not accept their insight. When insurance sent their industrial engineer out, he didn’t say anything except he’d never seen “that” before (black material melted between window panes). No doubt, that did not exist before the fire. Long story short, weeks later, Allstate denied the claim. They said we may find our own industrial engineer and try again…
Our house sits 8 homes away from the last burned home. Whenever there’s wind, our home always gets hit the hardest. So between the fire and 100 mph wind gusts during the fire, our windows were damaged.
