For restoration & repair contractors

Partner with us.
No fee. No catch.

When a job you're already on turns out to be an insurance claim, a licensed public adjuster on that claim usually means a fuller, documented scope — a bigger, better-defined job for you, paid by the carrier. Free for you, and free for your client unless we recover.

The short version

You don't have to chase every new job.

When a client already has damage that could be an insurance claim — a fire, a leak, a storm loss — a licensed public adjuster on that claim usually means a fuller, more accurate scope of covered repairs. That's not a promise of a specific outcome; it's how the process works when someone documents the loss properly instead of eyeballing it.

A fuller scope means a bigger, better-defined job for you — paid by the insurance carrier, not by you or your client. We don't take a fee from you, and we don't pay for referrals either.

What a quick walkthrough sees

A kitchen fire looks like a kitchen job — repaint the adjacent walls, replace a few cabinets.

What a documented claim can cover

Smoke and heat travel through HVAC and framing further than a walkthrough shows. Properly documented and adjusted, that same fire can mean a fully covered structure — not just the room where it started.

Where jobs stall

The claim problems that hold up your work

Our adjuster spent years handling property claims from the carrier side in New York and New Jersey. These are the places a job gets stuck when nobody is working the claim — and what we do about each one.

Estimate under your bid

The carrier's number comes from a quick inspection and pricing software. We document the full loss so the covered scope reflects the real repair — not a gap you eat or argue about.

Supplements that go nowhere

Hidden damage turns up after tear-out. We document it and push the supplement with the carrier, so the added work gets claimed instead of absorbed.

Code upgrades left out

Opening walls and roofs in older buildings can trigger code requirements. Ordinance-and-law coverage has to be claimed deliberately — we do that.

"Wear and tear" denials

When the carrier blames age or long-term leakage, the job stops cold. When the facts support a covered loss, we challenge the cause with documentation.

Depreciation held back

Many policies hold back recoverable depreciation until repairs are done — often the money behind your final invoice. We make sure it's claimed and released.

Owners who go quiet

Overwhelmed owners miss carrier requests and deadlines, and the job stalls. We run the claim side so the timeline keeps moving.

Clear lanes

You build it. We handle the claim.

In New York and New Jersey, negotiating an insurance claim on a property owner's behalf — advocating on coverage and settlement — requires a public adjuster license. Contractors who try to "handle the claim" for a customer take on risk and unpaid hours. Bringing us in keeps everyone in their lane, and keeps the job moving.

How it works

Four steps. No paperwork on your end.

Nothing to sign with us, and no script to read to your customer.

Spot it

Damage on a job you're already on — fire, water, storm, a leak behind the wall — might be an insurance claim.

Make the intro

With the owner's OK, text us their name and number — or just hand them ours. No sales pitch required.

We handle the claim

Free review. If it's worth pursuing, we document, file, and negotiate — no cost to the owner unless we recover.

You get a fuller-scope job

If the claim supports more covered work than the first walkthrough assumed, that's a bigger, cleaner job — paid by the settlement, not squeezed from your bid.

For contractors

Questions contractors ask us

Do you pay referral fees?
No. We don't pay contractors for referrals, and we don't expect anything in return when we send work your way. Public adjusters in New York are restricted from paying referral compensation to unlicensed parties — so if anyone ever offers you something different, that's not us.
Will you bring in your own contractor and take my job?
No. The property owner always chooses who does the repairs. If they've already chosen you, we work alongside you — our job is the claim, not the build.
Can't I just negotiate the claim for my customer?
Send your estimate, photos, and scope — that helps. But advocating for the owner on coverage and settlement is licensed public-adjuster work in New York and New Jersey. We take that part off your plate, the right way.
What does it cost my customer?
Nothing upfront. We work on contingency — a percentage of what we recover, and nothing at all if we don't recover. In New York, public adjuster fees are capped at 12.5% of the recovery and regulated by the Department of Financial Services. New Jersey requires the fee to be reasonably related to the services provided, with the maximum fee written into your contract up front.
The claim is already open — or already paid. Is it too late?
Often not. We can step into an open claim, pursue a supplement when hidden damage turns up, or review an offer that came in low. Whether a closed claim can be reopened depends on the policy and the timing — we'll tell you honestly.
What do you need from me?
Just the owner's name and number, with their OK — plus any photos or estimate you already have. We take it from there, and with the owner's permission we'll keep you in the loop on scope.
