After we have inspected your roof and found damage that warrants a claim, a contingency agreement lets us initiate a claim with your insurance carrier with you or for you.

As the authorized contractor on your new claim, we will navigate meeting their requirements for approval on your behalf.

A contingency agreement does not obligate you to any up front payments. It merely commits you to working with us on a contingency basis. If we are unable to negotiate an approved claim and scope of work with your insurance carrier, you will owe us nothing. Otherwise, once we get your claim approved, we will present a final contract, select your shingles together, and take the initial payment at the time of contract signing.

This contingency agreement DOES contractually obligate you to work with Guideline as your contractor on the claim, for all work covered by insurance, if Guideline succeeds in getting your claim approved.
