Getting paid is one of the most challenging aspects of running a restoration company. Justifying your costs, equipment, and labor with the insurance adjuster can be an onerous process.  But most restoration contractors don’t have the time or bandwidth to communicate and follow up on invoices regularly. This leads to restorers settling for significantly less than they billed simply because they need to get paid. One Claim Solution helps bridge that gap. We help restorers process their insurance invoices, and work with adjusters to achieve a fair outcome that gets the restorer paid quickly and fairly. Let us carry the load of collecting from insurance carriers so you can focus on what matters most - your business. Learn More! bit.ly/40Mlovn
