Why Colorado Springs Homeowners Hire Me
Insurance companies handle thousands of claims every year with trained adjusters. You’re handling one or two in your lifetime. That experience gap costs homeowners thousands in missed coverage.
Contractors Have Conflicts of Interest
Contractors offering “free” inspections want to win your repair contract. Their documentation serves their sales goals, not your claim approval. I have no financial stake in inflating or minimizing damage.
Insurance Companies Use Aggressive Tactics
Adjusters minimize damage severity, cite “wear and tear,” apply aggressive depreciation, and exclude code-required upgrades. I know these tactics because I’ve countered them hundreds of times across every major carrier.
Code Compliance Gets Ignored
Pikes Peak Regional Building Department requires current code compliance for replacements. Insurance estimates often exclude these upgrades—$3,000-$8,000 in surprise costs. I document them upfront so your settlement covers what you’ll actually need.

Three Ways I Help You Win
Insurance Claim Advocacy
I attend adjuster meetings, document damage using methods insurance companies can’t dispute, and guide you through your specific carrier’s claim process from filing through settlement.
What you get:
- Professional damage documentation with photos
- Carrier-specific strategy for YOUR insurance company
- Adjuster meeting support and advocacy
- Settlement review and guidance
- Escalation support if needed
Building Code Compliance Documentation
Your roof replacement must meet current Pikes Peak Regional Building Department codes—not the codes from when it was built. I document required upgrades in your initial claim to prevent surprise costs mid-project.
What you get:
- Code compliance assessment for Colorado Springs
- Documentation of wind uplift requirements
- Ice and water shield specifications
- Flashing and ventilation compliance
- Permit-ready documentation
Carrier-Specific Strategy
State Farm’s tactics differ from Allstate’s. USAA’s depreciation strategies differ from Farmers’. After working with every major carrier for over a decade, I know what each approves, denies, and how to document claims they can’t dispute.
What you get:
- Carrier-specific denial pattern knowledge
- Adjuster training and evaluation methods
- Documentation strategies tailored to YOUR carrier
- Common exclusion tactics and how to counter them
- Realistic settlement expectations based on carrier history
What Makes This Different
Contractor “Free” Inspections
- Need to win your repair contract
- Document to justify their bid
- Sales pressure to choose them
- May inflate or minimize damage
- No carrier-specific knowledge
Independent Consulting with Me
- No repair contract to win
- Document for YOUR claim approval
- Zero sales pressure
- Honest damage assessment
- Worked with every major carrier
I don’t install roofs, sell materials, or work for insurance companies. My only role is documenting your damage properly and giving you an honest answer about your claim — even if that answer is “don’t file.”
I charge $100 for a full inspection and consultation. That flat fee is paid directly to me, with nothing tied to contractors, repairs, or whether your claim gets approved. No referral arrangements, no backend partnerships, no financial stake in the outcome.
If you need a contractor after the inspection, I can point you toward people I’ve personally seen do quality work — like Petrali Roofing for replacements, plus vetted partners for gutters, paint, and garage doors. That recommendation doesn’t change my fee or my findings. It’s just a useful next step if you need it.
If my documentation recovers $2,000–$5,000 more than you’d get with a contractor-driven inspection, a $100 fee looks very different. Most people who call me already understand that — which is why they’d rather pay for an honest opinion than rely on someone with a financial stake in the outcome.
How I Work With You
Professional Inspection
Complete 21-point assessment with professional photo documentation, weather verification, and carrier-specific guidance. You get a written report showing damage, code requirements, and realistic expectations.
Pre-Claim Strategy
Review your policy, discuss your carrier’s specific tactics, and prepare you for what their adjusters will look for. You’ll know exactly what to expect before filing.
Adjuster Meeting Support
I attend your insurance inspection, point out damage using documentation methods they can’t dismiss, and ensure building code requirements are acknowledged.
Settlement Review
Evaluate if the estimate covers all documented damage plus code-required upgrades. I’ll explain your options and guide your next steps based on your carrier’s history.
Contractor Connection & Project Management
Once your claim is approved, I connect you with vetted contractors I’ve carefully selected for quality and integrity—including Petrali Roofing for your roof replacement, plus trusted partners for gutters, paint, garage doors, and any other storm-related repairs. I guide you through the entire project from start to finish, ensuring work is completed properly and your settlement is used correctly.
Escalation Support (If Needed)
If your claim is denied or severely undervalued, I connect you with public adjusters or attorneys who specialize in your specific carrier and help you understand your options for appeal.

Investment: Clear & Transparent
Honest, Independent Pricing
$100
A flat $100 inspection fee paid directly to me. No contractor partnerships, no referral arrangements, nothing tied to whether your roof gets replaced.
I charge directly for my time and expertise — the same way you’d pay a home inspector or appraiser. My findings have nothing riding on the outcome, which is what makes the opinion worth paying for.
What this means for you:
- A straight answer on whether your roof qualifies — not a sales pitch
- No contractor referral fees influencing the findings
- Documentation built to carrier standards, not contractor interests
- Clear pricing upfront — no surprise costs after the fact
If my documentation recovers $2,000–$5,000 more than you’d get with a contractor-driven inspection, a $100 fee looks very different. And if the damage doesn’t qualify? You’ve spent $100 to find out — instead of filing a claim that raises your premiums or gets your policy non-renewed.

Common Questions
How much do your services cost?
What’s the difference between you and a contractor’s free inspection?
If your roof qualifies for a claim, I’ll tell you. If it doesn’t, I’ll tell you that too. And if you need a contractor recommendation afterward, I can point you toward people I’ve personally seen do quality work — but that recommendation doesn’t change my fee or my findings.
