How we help with your State Farm claim

We've worked dozens of State Farm claims in Overland Park, Lee's Summit, Independence, Olathe, Liberty, Blue Springs, and the rest of the KC metro. Here's how it works:

  1. Free post-storm inspection. We come out within 24-72 hours, document every dent, ding, and bend with photos, and give you a written estimate.
  2. We meet the State Farm adjuster on-site. This is the single highest-impact thing you can do. Adjusters consistently undercount damage when no contractor is there to point things out.
  3. We write supplemental requests if the settlement is low. Most insurers including State Farm have a formal supplemental process. We submit written scope-difference letters with photos when their initial settlement misses damage.
  4. We handle the install. Most KC hail claim work is completed in 1-2 days. Final invoices and lien waivers go to State Farm for the depreciation release.
