OUR PROCESS FOR INSURANCE CLAIMS ASSISTANCE

When the adjuster calls, write down his or her name, phone number and the date/time they will arrive. (Provide adjuster information to your Keystone Insurance Claims Specialists. Adjuster should schedule the inspection within 3 – 7 days
Meet Insurance Adjuster
Your Keystone Contracting Group Insurance Claims Specialist will meet the adjuster at your property and go through all the damages they had surveyed during the initial inspection.
Statement of Loss Estimate
If the roof replacement is approved for the replacement, the homeowner will receive an ACV (actual cash value) check less the deductible amount along with an itemized Statement of Loss estimate from the insurance company.
Once you receive your loss statement (estimate of repairs) from the insurance company, forward a complete copy to your Keystone project manager. This allows Keystone to analyze the claim, and contact your insurance if items are missing.
Mortgage Company may be included on the ACV Check
The ACV (Actual Cash Value) check will typically be made to the property owner and mortgage company. Contact your mortgage company and ask for the insurance department or the Loss Draft Department for details on their process to get the ACV check endorsed. DO NOT sign the check until it comes back from the mortgage company in case the check gets lost in the mail. Your Keystone project manager can assist you with this step.
