The roof damage is stressful enough. The insurance paperwork shouldn't be. We inspect free, document every impact in the format adjusters use, attend the adjuster meeting in person, and coordinate the claim from first call to final check, so you don't navigate scope disputes and depreciation holdbacks alone.
Thanks, there. We received your claim request and respond within 2 hours during business hours.
Most homeowners file alone, accept the adjuster's first number, and never know what was missed. The difference between a denied or underpaid claim and a full one is almost always how well the damage was documented and advocated for.
Hail bruising and lifted seals are invisible from the ground. If they aren't found and photographed, they aren't in the claim, and you pay for them later.
Wind damage is frequently denied without clear documentation. We bring photos and a written scope report to every adjuster meeting so it can't be waved off.
On ACV policies, depreciation holdbacks reduce your payout. We document the full scope so recoverable depreciation isn't quietly left on the table.
A step-by-step process built to remove the paperwork burden from you entirely. This is where Buckshot works differently from most contractors.
We inspect at no charge, field shingles, ridge, valleys, flashing, soffit, fascia, and gutters, photograph every impact point, and measure hail bruising. You get a written summary of findings before we leave.
We prepare a detailed damage report formatted for insurance review: photos with measurements, material specifications, and a line-item estimate in the format adjusters use.
When your insurer sends an adjuster, our project manager attends in person, walks them through each documented point, answers technical questions, and advocates for a complete scope. This is the step most contractors skip, and the one that most determines your outcome.
Once approved, we schedule fast. Full residential replacements are typically completed in a single day. The claim paperwork is handled by our team, not passed back to you.
A project manager walks the completed work with you. You receive documentation of materials used, the manufacturer warranty, and our labor warranty.
Homeowners are often surprised how little they have to do once we're involved. Here's the honest division of labor.
Your policy type is the single biggest factor in your out-of-pocket cost. We read your policy summary with you during the inspection and explain what it means in plain terms.
Covers the full replacement cost minus your deductible. For most covered claims this means you pay only your deductible and we bill the insurer for the rest. RCV is what makes "a new roof for your deductible" possible.
Factors in depreciation based on the age of your roof, so the initial payout is reduced. We document the full scope so any recoverable depreciation can be claimed back after the work is completed, rather than written off.
Denials and lowball offers usually trace back to weak documentation or damage that wasn't clearly tied to a storm event. If you've already been denied or paid too little, a documented re-inspection can change the outcome.
We document the damage properly, measured, photographed, dated, the way it should have been the first time, and tie it to the storm event.
If the approved scope left items out, we submit a supplemental claim with the documentation to support the additional work.
We walk you through re-inspection and supplemental options so you know where you stand, no pressure, just a clear picture.
I paid my deductible and Buckshot worked with the insurance on the bill so I didn't have to. They handled everything and the work was excellent.
Ryan walked us through the whole process. He dealt with the insurance company, showed up for a free quote, and the job was scheduled quickly after.
The help they provided with the paperwork and insurance company was amazing and much appreciated.
