Buckshot is a preferred contractor in 5 major insurance carrier programs. That means adjusters already recognize how we document, scope, and substantiate damage, so your claim moves faster, gets scoped completely, and is far less likely to stall. We work with any carrier, and most homeowners pay only their deductible.
Tell us where you are in the process and a local Buckshot inspector documents your damage the way adjusters need to see it, then we coordinate the claim from first call to final check. We respond within 2 hours, and we work with any insurer, not only our partner programs.
Thanks, there. We received your claim request and respond within 2 hours during business hours.
Being a preferred contractor in a carrier's program means the insurer has already vetted how we work. For you, that vetting turns into three concrete advantages when you file.
Because adjusters already know our documentation format and standards, there's less back-and-forth on scope and substantiation, which keeps your claim moving instead of stalling.
We document every impact the way each program expects, so damage that's commonly missed or denied is substantiated up front and more likely to land in the approved scope.
An established track record with the carrier means fewer surprises, fewer reinspections, and a lower chance of the kind of dispute that leaves homeowners stuck.
These are the managed-repair and contractor networks Buckshot is approved in. Being in them means we already know how each one documents, depreciates, and approves a claim.
One of the largest contractor networks used by major insurers to assign vetted, performance-tracked contractors to property claims.
A carrier-side claims program we're approved in, so assignments and documentation move through a channel the insurer already trusts.
Another program where our standing means the adjuster and the insurer recognize our scope reports and estimates on arrival.
One of the largest third-party claims administrators. Our approval here streamlines assignment and review on the claims they manage.
A managed program we participate in, adding another channel where our documentation standards are already established.
Not on this list? It doesn't matter. We work with any insurance carrier, the programs just speed things up where they apply.
Homeowners are often surprised how little they have to do once we're involved. Here's the honest split.
On a Replacement Cost Value policy, your deductible is typically all you pay; we bill the insurer for the approved scope.
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 it in plain terms before you file.
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 roof age, 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.
A step-by-step process built to take the paperwork burden off you entirely. The adjuster meeting is the step most contractors skip, and the one that most decides your outcome.
We inspect at no charge, photograph every impact, and give you a written summary before we leave.
A damage report in the format adjusters use: photos with measurements and a line-item estimate.
Our project manager attends in person and advocates a complete scope. The step most contractors skip.
Once approved we schedule fast, most replacements in a single day. We handle the paperwork, not you.
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.
