Navigate your wind damage insurance claim with confidence. We help you get the coverage you deserve.
A step-by-step guide to the insurance claims process
Take photos and videos of all visible damage before any repairs. Include wide shots and close-ups of specific damage. Don't forget to photograph items damaged inside the property.
Call your insurance company to report the damage. Get your claim number and ask about your policy coverage, deductible, and timeline for filing.
Your insurer will send an adjuster. We recommend having us inspect first - we document damage thoroughly and can accompany the adjuster.
Once you receive the insurance estimate, review it carefully. Make sure all damage is included. We can help compare our findings.
Once your claim is approved, authorize the repairs. We begin work immediately to restore your property.
After repairs are complete, your insurance issues final payment. We handle all paperwork to ensure smooth processing.
