A big change in the insurance restoration industry, like there’s every week. Insurance companies are now verbally approving supplements but need photo documentation mid-production. Items such as flashing, decking, felt are a few of those items. I think this all calls for some clarity because they’re not putting it in the scope of damage as […]

When looking for a public adjuster on an average claim it feels like one of those old Indiana Jones movies where he’s searching for the ark of the covenant and there’s always some sort of drama. So much time and mental exhaustion happens in the search for a good public adjuster. If you’re a PA
