Homeowners need an honest, neutral advocate to navigate insurance claims and exterior inspections without upselling, especially after storms when bad-faith contractors flood the market.

Existing roofing companies and storm chasers have a conflict of interest, pushing jobs and upselling instead of providing unbiased advice. Homeowners lack a trusted intermediary for insurance claims and inspections.
