— Process

A measured, defensible sequence.

Every assignment moves through the same four steps. The work is unhurried because the conclusion has to hold up — to the homeowner, to the carrier, and, if needed, to a court.

01

Intake & claim review

An adjuster sends the loss notes, photographs, and any prior estimates. We review the file, confirm scope, and identify the flooring in question — manufacturer, line, age, and specification when known.

  • Typical turnaround: same business day
  • No obligation review
02

Material sourcing

Before we travel, we work the sourcing problem. Our network of mills, distributors, and liquidators — combined with a warehouse holding 8,200+ discontinued selections — gives us candidate material to bring to the inspection.

  • Discontinued and obsolete lines
  • Comparable substitutions when no exact match exists
03

Onsite inspection

An inspector contrasts each candidate against the subject flooring under natural and artificial light. We document the conditions, photograph the comparison, and form a defensible opinion on whether a repair match exists.

  • Color, grain, finish, and wear evaluated
  • Photographic record retained for the file
04

Report & documentation

A written report — with photos, sample logs, and sourcing references — is delivered to the adjuster. It is formatted for the carrier file and written to be read by anyone reviewing the claim downstream.

  • Plain-language conclusion
  • Supporting evidence attached
