05 | How Can Contractors Boost Their Credibility?

Welcome to the Contractors vs. Adjusters podcast! Today, we talked about how restoration contractors can work with insurance adjusters, especially during hurricane season. Peter shared some great tips. He said contractors should build relationships with adjusters before storms happen. This can be done by attending their conferences and meeting them. When a storm is coming, contractors should let adjusters know they are available to help. Peter also mentioned that adjusters need contractors to confirm repair estimates. It's good for contractors to ride along with adjusters to look at damaged houses. This helps build trust. Adjusters prefer working with contractors they know, rather than strangers. We also discussed the importance of knowing what is covered by insurance and what isn't. Having a good relationship with an adjuster can help with this. Finally, Peter explained that contractors should not charge for helping adjusters during inspections. They do it to hopefully get the job. Learn more about your ad choices.
