Straight answers

Run the GRS list again before the file closes. If something was missed and should be there, add it and back it up with photos, code, manufacturer specs, or the measurement report. Carrier and lender requirements vary.

When a supplement is approved, the ACV amount is released to the insured. Your supplement letter, sent with a self-addressed stamped envelope, gives them a simple way to send those funds back to you, so the job stays funded as it goes instead of at the very end.

No. SSS is education and training. You do the work; SSS teaches the process.

No one can honestly promise that. SSS teaches you how to build supportable, well-documented requests. What happens with any individual carrier or claim isn't something SSS can guarantee.

No. SSS is built for newer contractors (roughly years 1 to 3) as much as experienced teams. The classification system is designed to be learned, not assumed.

Outside help can still be useful. But understanding your own claim financials is your job either way, no matter who writes the supplement. SSS teaches you what to look for and how to evaluate the work being done on your behalf.

Claim Confidence™ is the 10-strategy system for running exterior supplements in-house. It's not a bundle of templates. It teaches how to classify every missed item, when to hold production, and how to reconcile every file before it closes, from initial estimate review through final reconciliation. The presale is open now at $600 (regularly $1,000), and access opens Friday, October 9.

No. SSS and Claim Confidence™ focus on exterior storm restoration: roofing, siding and the exterior trades. Water mitigation and fire are not covered.

No. SSS does not provide legal advice, public-adjusting services, or done-for-you estimating. Consult a licensed professional for claim-specific or legal questions.

Line-item tips are everywhere. A classification system tied to timing, funding, and reconciliation, taught as one repeatable process, is what SSS provides.
