Property damage turns your life upside down. Dealing with your insurer on top of that should not fall entirely on you. Five Star documents the damage, communicates with your adjuster, and keeps your claim moving so you can focus on getting back to normal.
When damage hits, dealing with an insurance claim on top of an emergency is a lot to carry. Here are the three things that trip people up most often and how we take them off your plate.
Policy language is dense. Most homeowners underestimate their coverage or accept a smaller settlement than they are entitled to because they don't know what to ask for. We've read hundreds of policies and know what to look for.
Missing photos, no moisture readings, a poorly written scope — these are the most common reasons claims get delayed or reduced. We build the complete file from the moment we arrive so nothing gets left out.
Adjusters work for the carrier. Homeowners who go through the process alone often accept a lower settlement because they don't know what to push back on. We do — and we make sure the full scope of damage is accounted for.
From your first call through final settlement, here is every step and who handles it.
We arrive within 45 minutes and begin a full damage assessment. Photos, moisture readings, thermal imaging, and a written scope start building your claim file from minute one.
We help you file your claim and make direct contact with your adjuster. Our documentation package is formatted exactly the way carriers need it, which cuts down back and forth and speeds up approvals.
We review the adjuster's scope and flag anything that was missed or undervalued. Hidden damage, secondary damage, contents — the full picture gets documented so nothing falls through.
We complete all restoration work and provide final documentation confirming the property is returned to pre-loss condition. Your claim closes clean with no loose ends.
Incomplete documentation is the number one reason claims get delayed or reduced. We build the complete file from day one — organized, thorough, and formatted for fast review.
Hundreds of timestamped photos covering every affected area — structural, contents, and hidden damage zones revealed by thermal imaging. Every affected surface captured before anything is touched.
Daily moisture logs and thermal imaging maps showing water migration and affected structural materials. This is the technical data adjusters rely on to approve scope and justify drying time.
A detailed, itemized scope covering every line of labor and materials — written to industry standards so adjusters can review and approve quickly without asking for revisions.
A complete inventory of damaged personal property with estimated replacement values. Structural repairs get approved more often than contents — we make sure nothing personal gets left out of the settlement.
We've handled claims with every major insurance company. We know their documentation requirements, their preferred formats, and how to communicate with their adjusters to keep your claim moving.
