When You Partner with Hillis
By June, projects may be in full swing while supplements are delayed, payments fall short, and scope gaps create friction with clients. Hillis helps keep the insurance side moving so contractors can focus on the work.
- Push stalled claims forward.
- Support supplements and revised scopes.
- Help present the full documented scope.
- Reduce back-and-forth with carriers.
Keeping Projects Moving
The goals are more predictable cash flow, less time chasing approvals, stronger client relationships, and a smoother project closeout. June is about maintaining momentum and presenting each job's covered repair needs clearly. Payment and profitability are not guaranteed.
Summer Preparation Tips
Proactive inspections, preventive maintenance, and a prompt response after storms can help protect clients' properties and reduce avoidable project delays. Inspect only when conditions are safe and use qualified professionals for hazardous work.
- Encourage clients to schedule roof and exterior inspections after spring storms.
- Check gutters, siding, flashing, and drainage.
- Look for water intrusion before storms intensify issues.
- Document property conditions before repairs.
- Help homeowners understand potential insurance-related damage concerns.
- Prepare for emergency repair calls during severe weather.
Heavy rain, wind, hail, and sudden weather events can create hidden damage affecting repair timelines, insurance approvals, and property value. Proper documentation and timely claim handling are critical.
Hillis works alongside contractors, homeowners, and real estate professionals before, during, or after a claim. No outcome is guaranteed; coverage and payment depend on the policy and claim facts. Eligible referrals are subject to current program terms and state eligibility.
