Early Claim Strategy

Onsite or remote inspections to assess the nature and extent of property damage, with clear documentation and recommendations. Ideal for homeowners, builders, or insurers needing independent verification or supporting evidence.

We compare multiple contractor or builder quotes to identify scope gaps, pricing variations, and alignment with policy coverage. This ensures you’re not overpaying—or underestimating the work required—before committing to repairs.

Before things escalate, we help you take a proactive approach. Get early advice on claim strategy, required documentation, and scope preparation to reduce stress, prevent delays, and support smoother outcomes from the start.
