Insurance Adjuster Owned. Homeowner Focused.
We started SDAT because too many homeowners were getting shortchanged on storm damage claims. We know exactly what qualifies — because we've been on the other side of the clipboard.
What “Insurance Adjuster Owned” Actually Means
The person who founded SDAT has direct, professional experience working as a licensed insurance adjuster — the same role your insurance company sends to evaluate your roof.
This isn't a marketing phrase. It means we understand exactly what adjusters look for, what documentation standards they require, how claims are evaluated internally, and where the common gaps are between what's damaged and what gets approved.
That knowledge informs everything we do — from how we conduct inspections to how we document findings to how we advocate during adjuster visits.
Three Fundamental Differences
Insurance Adjuster Expertise
Founded by a licensed insurance adjuster who understands the claims process from the inside — not just from the contractor side.
Inspect First, Sell Never
The Roof Report Card documents reality, whether that means damage or a clean bill of health. Many roofing companies only tell you what generates a job.
Present During Adjuster Visits
We are present during the insurance adjuster's visit to advocate for the full scope of damage. Most contractors hand you an estimate and leave you to negotiate alone.
“We educate and inform rather than sell.”
— Chris Dabin, Owner
How We Work With Insurance Companies
We work with all insurance companies. Our role is to provide professional documentation and be present during the adjuster's inspection to ensure thoroughness.
We don't argue with adjusters — we present clear, Haag-level evidence and let the documentation speak for itself. We are cooperative and professional with every adjuster because adversarial relationships don't serve homeowners.
“A tornado struck three days before closing. SDAT had the roof repaired in two days. The closing proceeded on schedule.”
