File a Claim
The insurance process can be over whelming, but it doesn't have to be. The experts at Fulsaas Exteriors understands the process and we are here to help. Below is a list of steps in processing and filing a claim.
Step 1:
Initial inspection and claim filing
A Fulsaas Exteriors representative will perform a complete inspection of your home. If the damage warrants an insurance claim, you will file the claim (this is the only part of the process we cannot complete for you). Place a call to your agent or insurance company's claims center and inform them of the damage to your home and date it happened. Typically, this call takes only a few minutes.
When you receive a claim number from the insurance company, contact your Fulsaas Exteriors representative and provide your claim number, adjuster’s name and phone number. We will then contact the insurance adjuster assigned to your claim and schedule an appointment to meet at your home.
Step 2: The insurance adjustment
Our Fulsaas Exteriors representative will meet the adjuster and answer the questions regarding the damage to your property. Fulsaas Exteriors will give the adjuster a written estimate for the repairs.
Step 3: Obtaining and reviewing the insurance estimate
After the claim is approved, your insurance company will send a written estimate in the mail. This may take as long as two weeks depending on the adjuster and the insurance company. You will also receive the insurance check for the actual cash value of your claim.
Once you receive the insurance estimate, contact your Fulsaas Exteriors representative. At this appointment your Fulsaas Exteriors representative will review the insurance estimate and assist you in selecting the new building materials for your home.
Step 4: The work is completed
After the material selections have been made, your Fulsaas Exteriors representative will hand the job over to our experienced production staff.
If required, our permitting staff will apply for the permit and deliver it to your home. We will then notify you when the materials will be delivered to your property. The work typically takes place as soon as possible after the materials have been delivered. If there are changes to the schedule, you will be notified immediately.
Once your home is restored, you and your Fulsaas Exteriors representative will perform a complete inspection of your home and property to ensure the work completed meets our strict standards and most importantly, your satisfaction.
After completion, we will invoice your insurance company directly for the remaining depreciation or balance of the claim.
