Storm Damage & Insurance Claims Restoration in Mid-Missouri

Think You Have Storm Damage or Already Have an Insurance Claim?

Start with an inspection.

Whether you've already filed a claim or aren't sure if you need to, we'll inspect the property, explain what we find, and help you understand the next step.

​

 

 

Let us handle the construction process so you can get back to your life.
You make the important decisions. We handle the construction details.

Clear Roles. Clear Communication.

There is an important distinction between helping manage an insurance restoration project and acting as an insurance adjuster.

Your insurance carrier interprets your policy, determines coverage, and decides what it will pay under the terms of your policy.

You, the homeowner, own the property and claim and make the decisions regarding your home.

We, the contractor, inspect the physical property, determine the construction requirements, document the work, provide estimates and supporting information, communicate about the construction scope, and complete the restoration.

We don't promise that an insurance company will cover a particular item or approve a particular amount.

What we can promise is that we'll approach the construction side of your project professionally, document what we find, communicate clearly, and work to make the process as straightforward for you as possible.

Storm Damage Is Stressful. The Repair Process Doesn't Have to Be.

Dealing with damage to your home is stressful enough. You shouldn't also have to spend your time trying to coordinate inspections, understand construction estimates, track down documentation, or go back and forth over the details of your repair.

That's where we come in.

Our goal is to make insurance-related restoration as close to a hands-off experience for the homeowner as possible.

Once your claim is established and you authorize us to work with your insurance carrier, we can take the lead on the contractor-side coordination of the project—from the initial property inspection and adjuster meeting through documentation, estimating, supplements, construction, and final invoicing.

Instead of putting you in the middle and asking you to relay construction information between us and your insurance company, we communicate directly with the appropriate insurance representatives regarding the construction details of your project whenever permitted.

You stay informed and remain in control of your property and claim, but you don't have to become the middleman.

How Our Process Works

1. We Inspect the Property

Everything begins with a thorough inspection.

Depending on the type of loss, we may inspect your:

• Roofing system

• Shingles and roofing accessories

• Siding

• Gutters and downspouts

• Fascia and soffit

• Windows and exterior trim

• Flashing

• Vents and roof penetrations

• Any affected personal property

• Other affected exterior components

We photograph and document relevant conditions and identify both obvious damage and construction details that could affect how the property needs to be repaired.

Then we sit down with you and explain what we found in plain language.

If there is legitimate damage, we'll show you.

If we don't believe significant damage exists, we'll tell you that too.

2. You Open the Claim — Then We Help Carry the Load

The insurance policy and claim belong to you, so the homeowner generally initiates the claim with the insurance carrier.

Once a claim has been opened and you provide us with the appropriate claim information and authorization, we can handle much of the contractor-side communication from there.

That means you don't have to understand roofing terminology, siding measurements, estimating software, flashing requirements, ventilation calculations, material availability, or construction codes just so you can relay information between your contractor and insurance company.

When appropriate and permitted, we communicate directly with the adjuster or other claim representatives regarding the physical damage, construction scope, measurements, estimates, photographs, invoices, supplements, and other repair-related documentation.

Our objective is simple: keep you informed without keeping you stuck in the middle.

3. We Meet With the Insurance Adjuster

If your insurance company schedules an inspection, we can arrange to be present when appropriate.

This allows the insurance adjuster and contractor to look at the property together.

We can identify the damage we've documented, provide measurements and photographs, discuss affected building components, and answer construction-related questions.

If there is a damaged component that we believe should be evaluated, we can point it out.

If there is a construction detail that affects how a repair must be performed, we can explain it.

If measurements, material requirements, installation details, or repairability need to be discussed, we can provide the relevant contractor information.

You don't have to stand between two professionals trying to translate what one is saying to the other.

We handle the construction conversation directly whenever possible.

4. We Review the Insurance Scope

After the insurance company completes its initial evaluation, it may prepare an estimate or scope of work.

These documents can be confusing.

They can contain dozens—or even hundreds—of individual line items covering labor, materials, quantities, removal, installation, accessories, depreciation, and other components of the loss.

We don't expect you to become an insurance-restoration expert just because your home was damaged.

We review the construction portion of the scope and compare it with what we documented at the property and what is actually required to perform the repair.

We evaluate questions such as:

Are the affected areas accounted for?

Are the measurements and quantities accurate?

Are necessary roofing, siding, flashing, ventilation, trim, gutter, or accessory components included?

Are the specified materials appropriate and available?

Can the proposed repair actually be performed correctly?

Are there legitimate construction items necessary to complete the project that aren't reflected in the original scope?

Is everything being done per code compliance?

If everything lines up, great—we move forward.

If something doesn't, we document the construction discrepancy and provide the appropriate information for the carrier's review.

5. We Handle Construction-Related Supplements and Documentation

An insurance company's initial estimate isn't always the final construction scope.

Some conditions aren't visible until materials are removed. Other items may require additional documentation, measurements, photographs, manufacturer information, code information, material availability information, or explanation from the contractor.

When legitimate additional construction items are identified, we can prepare the appropriate documentation and submit construction-related supplemental information for the carrier to review when permitted.

This can include things such as:

• Detailed photographs

• Measurements

• Material quantities

• Contractor estimates

• Invoices

• Product information

• Manufacturer installation requirements

• Material availability information

• Construction details

• Documentation of conditions discovered during tear-off

• Other information relevant to completing the repair

• Code Requirements

The insurance carrier ultimately determines what is covered and what it will approve under the policy.

But you shouldn't have to personally build a construction estimate, explain a flashing detail, or figure out why additional material is necessary.

That's our job as your contractor.

6. We Keep the Communication Moving

One of the most frustrating parts of an insurance restoration project can be communication.

Our goal is to remove as much of that burden from you as possible.

When appropriate, we can communicate with the insurance representative regarding contractor estimates, requested documentation, measurements, construction questions, supplemental items, project changes, invoices, and completion documentation.

If the insurance company needs something related to our work, we'd rather have them ask us directly than send you a technical question that you then have to bring back to us.

That creates a cleaner process for everyone.

You remain informed. We handle the details.

When something requires a decision from you, we'll explain it clearly.

When something requires construction information from us, we handle it.

7. We Plan and Complete the Restoration

Once the construction scope is established and you're ready to proceed, we coordinate the actual restoration.

We'll help you select appropriate materials, colors, profiles, and options for your property.

Depending on the project, that may include:

• Roofing

• Siding

• Gutters

• Soffit and fascia

• Flashing

• Ventilation

• Exterior trim

• Windows and related exterior components

If you'd like to make upgrades beyond the insurance-related restoration, we'll discuss those separately so you can clearly distinguish between the restoration work and improvements you've elected to make.

Then we schedule materials, coordinate the project, perform the work, manage the jobsite, and document the construction as it progresses.

8. We Handle the Contractor-Side Closeout

Our involvement doesn't stop when the last shingle is installed or the final piece of siding goes up.

After construction, we complete our final project review and prepare the appropriate contractor documentation.

When required, we can provide final invoices, completion documentation, photographs, or other construction-related information requested in connection with the claim.

Our objective is to help take the project from:

Damage → Inspection → Claim → Adjuster → Scope → Documentation → Construction → Completion

without leaving you to manage all of those moving pieces yourself.

As Hands-Off as Possible for You (Simplified)

We believe homeowners hire professionals because they want professionals to handle the work.

You shouldn't have to spend your evenings comparing roofing measurements against an insurance estimate.

You shouldn't have to understand why a particular flashing detail is necessary.

You shouldn't have to photograph every construction condition yourself.

And you shouldn't have to constantly carry technical messages back and forth between your contractor and the insurance company.

We handle the contractor-side process for you.

We'll document the property.

We'll prepare the construction information.

We'll attend the adjuster inspection when appropriate.

We'll review the construction scope.

We'll provide estimates and supporting documentation.

We'll address legitimate construction discrepancies.

We'll document supplemental work.

We'll communicate construction-related information with the appropriate insurance representatives when authorized and permitted.

We'll complete the restoration.

And we'll provide the appropriate contractor documentation when the project is finished.
