What we can't promise.We can't guarantee your carrier approves the claim. We can't promise a specific settlement amount. We don't pay your deductible. What we DO is provide thorough contractor documentation that supports a clean carrier conversation.

Storm documentation
Insurance work needs clear photos, careful notes, and a clean scope conversation.
The 6-step claim process
Every claim varies, but the rough process is consistent.
Six steps
Damage appears. Document first. Do not sign.
Photograph damage and keep records together.
Open the claim. Call us for contractor documentation.
The adjuster visits. We can document damage.
The carrier usually issues ACV first.
We do the work. Tim documents supplements.
Adjuster terminology
The carrier uses specific language. These terms keep you in the conversation.
Common pitfalls
Out-of-state contractors appear after storms, then disappear.
Connecticut prohibits this. Deductible-waiver offers start with fraud.
Insurance claims do not require a same-day signature. Pressure is the warning sign.
Legitimate contractors invoice through standard channels.
The carrier decides approval. We promise documentation, not approval.
