Frequently asked questions

Who will contact me?

A local, independent service provider for your area and damage type will contact you to schedule your free inspection. ClaimToRepair is not a public adjuster or insurer and does not file, negotiate or adjust claims.

Does it cost anything to submit a request?

No. Zero cost to you to get started, and no out-of-pocket cost for your inspection.

Will my insurance cover the damage?

Many storm-related losses can be covered by homeowners insurance, but it depends on your policy, the cause of loss and your deductible. Only your insurer can make a coverage decision. Review your policy and contact your insurer or agent.

Do I have to hire anyone after the inspection?

No. You're never obligated to move forward. Always verify a contractor's license and insurance.
