            Around March of 2022 we had a storm that came through and took off the back right side of my roof I had filed a claim about 4 years ago for a different storm that took off the Left side and back they then paid only to replace that part - the deductible even though I complained the whole roof was compromized so now there refuse to pay for damages say improper installed sliding shingles ect. I have paid them for about 12 years and never been late now there deininig my claim I'm retired and very limited income to replace this my self I had to risk my life just to get on the roof to patch it up so the rest of my house is not compromized I feel like they had no intention of paying from the start they just wanted my payments as they keep sending my installment bill even after they refuse to return my calls or Talk to another certified state adjuster that I called for a second opinion when I insured this house it had old wore out roof on it so I had a new roof in stalled about 8 years ago so I feel like they owe me a new roof I'll leave it right there for now ,Thank you

            I wish I could put -5 as my review. Do not purchase insurance from this company. They do not care about their customers. It is all about the money. I had $60k worth of damage that they tried to only pay $24k for. I ended up having to invoke my appraisal clause and have a private appraiser fight for my money. I got it... but no thanks to FMT. Here I am 8 months later and just now I have my roof fixed and no more tarp! That isn't even mentioning the inside water damage that my family lived in that whole time because they refused to pay. They are a nightmare. My specific adjuster was a particular pain. I will never ever ever give them my business again and neither should you.
