Partnering with insurers
Every party in a rebuild has its guard up, and insurers more than most. Storm chasers and inflated claims have taught everyone to build their own safeguards, and those safeguards slow down every claim, honest ones included. BuildSOS exists to lower that risk for everyone involved, insurers included.
Contractors who document honestly
Our contractor training is built around one rule: document everything, exaggerate nothing. We teach contractors to hand adjusters a clean, professional documentation package, to work as a bridge between the homeowner and the claim rather than an adversary, and to refuse to pad an estimate, even when a homeowner asks.
The Verified Seal starts with an independent BuildZoom check of a contractor’s license, insurance and track record, so homeowners have a way to choose a checked contractor over a storm chaser.
Policyholders who understand their coverage
Most homeowners don’t know what their policy covers until after a disaster. Policy AIDvisor translates a policy into plain language, shows where the gaps are, and drafts an email with the right questions for their agent, before they need to file. Our homeowner guides on protecting your finances and documenting your home do the same work in long form.
Homes built to resist damage
We train contractors in FORTIFIED building through FortiGuide, the standard homeowners and insurers are asking for, and we teach them how mitigation upgrades like FORTIFIED roofs and impact-rated windows fit into a homeowner’s plan.
BuildSOS isn’t an insurance company, agent, broker or public adjuster, and we don’t act for anyone on a claim. Our role is the people and the preparation around it.
