Large Loss
Residential Recovery.
High-value homes face the same systematic suppression as commercial properties — with additional ACV manipulation, depreciation stacking, and cosmetic damage exclusion tactics.
How Carriers Suppress Large Loss Residential Claims
Large loss residential claims are suppressed through ACV vs. RCV manipulation, excessive depreciation, and characterization of qualifying damage as cosmetic.
ACV vs. RCV Manipulation
Carriers settle at Actual Cash Value and hold recoverable depreciation hostage to contractor selection and project completion milestones. We force RCV recovery and enforce timely depreciation release.
Depreciation Stacking
On large residential properties, carriers apply depreciation to every component — roofing, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, finishes — simultaneously. The stacked depreciation produces settlement amounts that bear no relationship to actual replacement cost.
Cosmetic Damage Exclusion
Wind and hail damage to high-end exterior finishes — custom stone, wood siding, copper gutters, slate tile — is routinely characterized as cosmetic and excluded. In most states, matching obligations apply to all visible exterior elements.
Denial on Causation
High-value residential carriers frequently issue denials on causation grounds — claiming damage is attributable to maintenance deficiencies rather than the covered weather event. We counter with meteorological documentation and independent engineering.
How We Rectify It
We apply commercial-grade forensic methodology to large residential losses — because the recovery math demands the same rigor.
RCV Enforcement & Depreciation Recovery
We document every depreciable component’s replacement cost, enforce the release of withheld depreciation, and challenge every ACV calculation the carrier used to suppress the initial settlement.
Matching Obligation Documentation
We apply state matching laws to every visible exterior element — forcing whole-facade or whole-roof replacement rather than patch repairs that don’t match in color, profile, or finish.
Independent Causation Documentation
We commission independent meteorological analysis, engineering inspection, and contractor documentation to counter carrier causation denials with a record they cannot ignore.
Financial Alignment: We charge a strict 10% contingency fee on the Replacement Cost Value (RCV) of the total claim recovery above the carrier’s existing offer. No increase on the claim, no fee. If we do not recover more than the carrier already offered, our services cost you nothing. The initial review is always free.
