WENTZVILLE, MO (KTVI)? Roofing Contractors have been very busy the past couple of months. The 28th hailstorm damaged thousands of roofs across the area.? A Wentzville man says he`s hit a wall when it comes to dealing with his insurance company over storm damage.? The past few months have been an exercise in frustration for Karl Bryant.

?I will not rest until the issue is resolved.? I`m standing firm on my conviction that this is not right.?

The hail damaged every house around him.? They all have new roofs? or are in the process of getting a new roof.?? The hail even put big holes in Bryant?s siding.? But his insurance company, Liberty Mutual,? says there?s no damage to his roof.? Bryant is shocked.

?Here`s my house, now, I guess I must have some sort of heavenly halo, I know I`m a man of faith, but there`s a heavenly halo, skipped my house.?

Russ Myers, owner of? R Myers Roofing is the person Bryant called right after the storm. ?

?He`s got damage, he`s got pretty bad damage.? But it`s not to the point that it`s leaking right now.?? But it is hail damage.? I`d say on a scale of 1-10 he`s probably at an eight.?

Following the initial bid, Myers was asked by Liberty Mutual to take pictures for them.? Bryant and Myers accompanied a second inspector hired by Liberty Mutual to inspect the roof.? Myers took the opportunity to repeat his concerns.

?I started pointing out the hail damage to him but he said they were all mar marks.? There`s over a thousand hits up on this roof, and they`re all mar marks?? I could not believe it when he told me that.?

Contact 2 spoke with another roofer who also looked at Bryant`s roof.? He too says there is hail damage on the roof.? Bryant thinks that should be enough to persuade his insurance adjuster.

?Hopefully he will reconsider or send a representative to maybe take a third look before closing is completely out.?

The day we shot this story we left a message for Liberty Mutual?s Senior Branch Manager.?? Ironically that same day someone else from the company called Karl Bryant and scheduled another inspection with yet another inspector.??? Bryant says he should hear this week whether Liberty Mutual is changing its decision.? A spokesperson for Liberty Mutual says the company cannot comment publicly on any policyholder claims.?? We?ll let you know what they decide.?

If you have consumer issues call our volunteers Monday through Thursday between 11am and 1pm.??? The number is 800 782-2222

NEW YORK (AP) ? The New York Stock Exchange is once again the home of the Whopper.

Burger King began trading as a public company Wednesday under the ticker symbol "BKW," with shares gaining 98 cents, or 6.8 percent, to $15.48 in morning trading.

The world's No. 2 hamburger chain had last traded as a public company between 2006 and 2010 before it was purchased and taken private by investment firm 3G Capital.

Burger King's return to the Big Board wasn't through an initial public offering, however. 3G Capital announced an unusual deal in April to sell a minority stake to Justice Holdings Ltd., a London-based entity that was specifically set up to invest in another company. 3G Capital received $1.4 billion in exchange and retains a 71 percent stake in the company.

That stake was worth about $3.6 billion based on Burger King's opening share price, meaning that, on paper, 3G Capital has more than earned back the $3.26 billion it paid for Burger King in 2010.

Under the complex deal, Justice suspended trading on the London Stock Exchange once the transaction was complete and emerged as Burger King Worldwide Inc. on the New York Stock Exchange.

Only 16 percent of shares were available for sale to investors. The founders of Justice Holdings will hold onto their 13 percent of shares for at least one year as part of the deal. 3G Capital will hold onto its stake for at least six months.

Among Justice's founders are William Ackman, an activist investor and founder of Pershing Square Capital Management; Martin Franklin, founder and executive chairman of consumer products company Jarden Corp.; Alan Parker, former CEO of Whitbread PLC, the United Kingdom's largest hotel and restaurant company; and investor Nicolas Berggruen.

Franklin and Parker will join Burger King's board as part of the deal. 3G Capital has said that no other changes will be made to the senior leadership and that the company will continue its focus on turning around the brand.

As the fast-food market becomes increasingly crowded at home, Burger King like other companies has focused on expansion overseas. The Miami-based company recently announced plans to open hundreds of new restaurants in Russia and 1,000 in China over the next several years. That's in addition to similar expansion plans for Brazil.

In the past year, 80 percent of new store openings were in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

Back in the U.S., Burger King ? long known for its "Home of the Whopper" tagline ? has been working to refresh its outdated image and win back lost market share. The company launched its biggest menu expansion ever in April, with items including fruit smoothies, specialty salads and coffee frappes. The chain is abandoning its strategy of courting young men and going after a broader customer base of moms and families.

The strategies at home and abroad will remain in place now that Burger King is a public company, says Daniel Schwartz, the company's chief financial officer and a partner with 3G.

"We have a situation where the value of the brand is so much bigger than the value of the business," he said. For example, he noted there is a long list of countries with dense populations where the chain has a limited presence despite its global recognition.

Burger King has more than 12,500 restaurants worldwide, compared with 33,000 for McDonald's Corp.
