Common Carrier Requests—and How We Meet Them

In storm restoration, clear communication and strong organization are the foundation of every successful claim. Among all the parties involved—homeowners, contractors, and adjusters—insurance carriers play one of the most critical roles in making storm recovery possible.

This post breaks down the most common carrier requests during the claim process and how All Peril helps meet those demands with precision, professionalism, and efficiency.

The Role of Insurance Carriers in Storm Recovery

Insurance carriers help homeowners recover after severe weather events by reviewing claims, approving funding, and ensuring the repairs follow both policy and building code standards. Their job requires accuracy, documentation, and trust that every repair is properly justified.

That’s where our team steps in—coordinating between contractors and carriers to keep the process moving without unnecessary reopens or delays.

Understanding Common Carrier Requests

To process claims efficiently, carriers often make specific requests from contractors and policyholders. These may include:

  • Detailed scope of work and cost breakdowns
  • Photo reports showing damage before and after repairs
  • Code references supporting additional line items or supplements
  • Proof of contractor licensing and insurance
  • Certificates of completion or signed authorization forms

Understanding and anticipating these needs helps prevent back-and-forth communication that can slow down progress.

How We Meet Carrier Requests Effectively

At All Peril, we act as the bridge between homeowners, contractors, and carriers—making sure every claim is clear, documented, and compliant.

Here’s how we do it:

Streamlined Documentation

Proper documentation is the backbone of any claim. We use standardized templates and checklists that capture all required details—damage photos, materials used, code compliance notes, and job completion confirmations—so files are ready for review the first time.

Clear and Consistent Communication

We maintain active communication with both homeowners and carriers through organized updates and status reports. Every party knows where the job stands, what’s been submitted, and what’s next—minimizing confusion and delays.

Accurate and Detailed Estimates

We work directly with vetted contractors to produce precise, itemized estimates built in carrier-approved software like Xactimate. Each estimate is detailed enough to show material, labor, and code-related costs, reducing revision requests and approval bottlenecks.

Code and Compliance Verification

Every file we submit undergoes a compliance review to ensure all work meets local and state building code standards. This proactive step prevents costly disputes and ensures the restoration holds up to both carrier and regulatory expectations.

Benefits for Policyholders and Contractors

When carrier requests are met efficiently, everyone benefits:

  • Homeowners experience faster claim resolution and greater confidence in their repair process.
  • Contractors get smoother payment cycles and stronger relationships with carriers.
  • Carriers see fewer reopens and cleaner claim files that meet internal audit standards.

It’s a system built on trust, clarity, and professionalism—three things All Peril takes pride in delivering on every job.
