What to photograph, and who calls whom

A claim is a process with a clock. How we keep it from becoming a second problem.

Townhomes beside a small lake and trees in late afternoon.

Water, wind, a fallen limb. The house needs to be dry, then documented, then repaired. Mixing those up is how a small event becomes a long one.

First hour

Stop the damage. Photograph it. Call you. Call the vendor we already trust. The carrier comes after the house is not getting worse.

The file

Dates, photos, who was there, what was said. You should not have to reconstruct this from memory in a month.

The repair

We do not wait for a perfect estimate to dry a ceiling. We also do not rebuild a kitchen because a claim form has a blank on it. You stay in the conversation.
