An approved contractor your insurer already knows.
Buckshot works with major insurance carrier programs, including Contractor Connection, as an approved contractor. It can make your storm claim smoother and better coordinated, though your insurer always decides your coverage, not us. Family-owned since 1979.
A vetted contractor, ready to go.
Insurance carriers and their networks keep lists of contractors they've reviewed and approved to work on claims. Buckshot is part of several. Here's what that means for you, and what it doesn't.
Pre-vetted contractor
These programs maintain networks of contractors that carriers have reviewed and approved. Being in them means we've already met those bars before your claim even starts.
A smoother process
Working inside a program we already know can make the paperwork and coordination faster and less confusing for you during an already-stressful time.
What it is not
Being a preferred contractor does not mean we adjust your claim or decide your coverage. Your insurer does that. We're your contractor, not your insurance company.
Less friction when you need it least.
A storm claim is stressful enough. Working with a contractor your carrier's program already recognizes can take some of the friction out of it, while you keep full control of your claim:
- Familiar process, we know how these programs document and coordinate, so less gets lost in translation.
- Honest documentation, we record what damage is actually there, with photos, for your claim.
- You pay your deductible, and we handle the rest of the repair process with your carrier.
- We work with any carrier, in a program or not, so you're never boxed in by who insures you.
Recognized across major carrier networks.
Buckshot participates in several insurance carrier and claims-management programs as an approved contractor. We're glad to tell you whether we already work with yours.
