THE INSURANCE TEAM BEHIND GREAT CONTRACTORS!
Tekton Edge gives residential contractors the capabilities of a full insurance restoration department — without the overhead. We handle claim strategy, documentation, estimating, supplements, and adjuster communication so you can focus on construction.
Contractors Are Skilled Builders. Insurance Restoration Is a Different Skill Set.
Most contractors lose profitable insurance work — or leave money on the table — not because they can’t build, but because claims, adjusters, supplements, and documentation take a specialized team most small and mid-sized companies don’t have.

Our Claims Process
From first assessment to final job package — we run the full lifecycle of the claim.
Your Claim Journey, Phase by Phase
Contractor refers the claim to Tekton Edge; we sign the customer and schedule a site visit.
Hundreds of photos, 3D walkthroughs, and material data build the carrier-ready estimate — often 150-400 pages.
We meet the field adjuster, negotiate directly with the carrier, and secure an approved estimate.
Mortgage funds are released and the contractor is listed as payee while scope and style are finalized with the homeowner.
Work begins, progress draws release as the job proceeds, and final payment closes the claim.
More Profitable Work, Even When New Construction Slows
Insurance restoration gives contractors a second revenue stream that doesn’t depend on the new-build market.

Our Founder's Story
Tekton Edge was founded by a seasoned professional with deep roots in both construction and insurance, starting her career as a licensed General Contractor in the Bay Area of California before growing that company to over 60 employees.
One of the greatest frustrations along the way was watching homeowners struggle to find someone who could actually complete the work for the amount an insurance company provided. That frustration led into the world of insurance adjusting — years of hands-on experience as a licensed Field Adjuster across several states, navigating claims and advocating for fair outcomes.
Contractors want to help homeowners and grow their businesses, but most don’t have the resources or knowledge to do it. That’s where Tekton Edge comes in.

Typical Contractor's Claim Timeline
Not every step applies to every claim, and order can shift job to job — but here's how a typical restoration claim flows from first call to final check.
Homeowner calls the contractor for an estimate; the contractor hands the insurance side to Tekton Claims. We talk the homeowner through the process and get a signed agreement.
We inspect the damage, evaluate it against the policy, and report findings to the customer, kicking off the pre-work documentation phase.
Photos, video, 3D scans, engineer and material reports, aerial reports, and any required testing — all built to support a comprehensive, carrier-ready estimate at no upfront cost to the contractor.
Tekton Claims meets the insurance field adjuster on-site to agree on the scope of covered damage — the critical step where our experience drives higher payouts and coverage.
The official insurance estimate — often 150-400 pages across several reports — is submitted to the carrier. Tekton Claims negotiates directly with the claim adjuster on scope and cost.
Once the carrier approves an estimate Tekton Claims agrees with, we review it with the contractor — exact scope, payout, profit, and materials — and confirm he wants the job.
The homeowner is invoiced their deductible. Tekton Claims walks through covered scope, start date, color/style choices, and any upgrades so everyone's aligned before work begins.
Our mortgage specialists get the first draw released — contractor and homeowner as co-payees on every check, customer sign-off required before cashing. Construction begins.
The contractor notifies the mortgage company as each draw is due. Any additional non-covered work discovered mid-repair can be added via a supplemental report or by the homeowner's choice.
Once the home is back to its pre-loss state, the final completion report is submitted to close the claim. The insurer releases final payment (typically 1-3 weeks), the customer signs off, and everyone walks away with a quality job done right.
