How Does Remodel Contracting Help With Insurance Claims?

Ever wonder why the first insurance estimate feels so light? We pull back the curtain on how carriers price to the minimum, what gets missed in Xactimate, and how a seasoned general contractor can turn a lowball scope into a complete, code-compliant restoration. With Sophia Yvette hosting and Jeff Bass in the hot seat, we map the entire journey from the first phone call to the final sign-off, showing you the steps that protect your wallet and your home.

We start with the smart move most people skip: meeting the adjuster on site. Jeff explains how that early collaboration sets a professional tone, ensures the right facts get captured, and signals that the homeowner has an advocate. From there we dissect Xactimate line items—texture matching, painting to a natural break, detach and reset of fixtures, manufacturer-required methods, and code upgrades—and show how to spot the gaps that add up to major quality and safety issues if ignored.

Then we dig into supplements, the tool that corrects the initial estimate without gaming the system. You’ll learn how documentation, photos, code citations, and product specs form an airtight case. Jeff shares two stories: a hazardous granite countertop left on flimsy supports after mitigation, and a whole-floor repair that stalled until the scope was properly negotiated. We also clarify how to handle homeowner upgrades outside the claim, keep projects within the approved budget, and deliver proof of completion so funds release smoothly.

If you’re dealing with storm, water, or fire damage, this is your blueprint to getting made whole—no more paying out of pocket for items that should’ve been covered.
