We represent you, not them

Your adjuster works for the carrier. We work for you.

We document the damage, prepare the Xactimate scope, meet the adjuster on the roof, and supplement the claim until it reflects what the work actually costs. On average we add 35% to settled claims.

Written scope + closeout photos

Insurance adjusters are trained to find the cheapest way to make a claim go away. Most of them are honest, but they work for the carrier — not for you. Without an advocate on your side, the first offer is almost always low.

Our claim advocacy service is exactly what it sounds like. We scope the loss in Xactimate (the same software the carrier uses), meet the adjuster in person, dispute line items that are missing or underpriced, and file supplements with photo evidence. When the check comes in, it reflects the real cost of proper repair.

You do not have to hire us for the repair to get the advocacy service — but most clients do, because we already know the scope cold.

Until the real project photo library is ready, Vulcan sells the parts that make the decision feel safe: documentation, warranty clarity, and text-backed next steps.

Written decision record

Scope, selected system, pricing assumptions, and production next steps are documented instead of buried in a call.

Warranty clarity

Material warranty and mechanical workmanship warranty are explained by system so the owner knows what each one means.

SMS-ready follow-up

Questions homeowners actually ask

Is this the same as a public adjuster?
Similar function, different license. We are a licensed contractor with deep Xactimate expertise. Public adjusters typically charge 10-20% — we charge less and often waive the fee if we do the repair.
Does my insurer have to talk to you?
You authorize us as your representative on a simple one-page form. From then on we are copied on all claim correspondence and attend adjuster meetings.
What if the claim gets denied?
We file a supplement with additional evidence and request a re-inspection with a different adjuster. About 70% of denials get reversed. If we cannot get it approved, our percentage-fee version costs you nothing.
Will this piss off my insurance company?
No. Carriers deal with contractors and adjusters professionally every day. You have a contractual right to representation in a claim. Using that right does not trigger non-renewal.
Do I still have to pay my deductible?
Yes. Deductibles are a legal obligation — no contractor who tells you they will "waive" your deductible is being honest. We do not do that.
