Every sentence cites its rule.

Each claim in your packet points to the state rule, building code section, tax guidance, or carrier filing that makes it matter.

Every photo becomes evidence.

Every upload is reviewed, dated, matched to your mitigation category, and assembled into a numbered exhibit.

Every deadline gets chased.

Acknowledgment windows, response deadlines, renewal dates. Your carrier's silence is a tracked event, and tracked events get follow-up.

How it works

From camera roll to carrier's desk in four steps

Step 1

Type your address

We pull satellite and street-view imagery of your parcel automatically and flag what an underwriter would: overgrowth, a combustible perimeter, exposed decks. You see it before you touch a camera.

Step 2

Add your photos and receipts

Phone photos are fine. Each upload helps complete the proof your state and carrier are likely to ask for, with plain next steps for anything still missing.

Step 3

Close your gaps

You get clear photo instructions, like a closeup of the eave vent with the ember-resistant label visible. No guessing what an underwriter wants to see.

Step 4

Submit and track

We deliver the packet to your carrier or broker, log the submission, and track every deadline until you have an answer on your discount, renewal, or appeal.

Coverage

Twelve categories. The full mitigation record.

We document the structure hardening, defensible-space, maintenance, assessment, and community-mitigation categories insurers ask about, with the exact proof each one takes. All of it photographable from your driveway.

Why carriers respond

A folder of photos is easy to ignore. This isn't.

Underwriters accept their own filings. Every packet claim is anchored to an exhibit, a rule, and the source document, so the person reviewing it can see the proof and the rule in one place. "Homeowner says" becomes "record shows."

Questions

Asked constantly, answered straight

Can you guarantee my discount or renewal?

No one can. Your carrier decides, and anyone promising otherwise is selling you something. We guarantee the decision gets made on a complete, cited record of your mitigation work. When a carrier says no to documented, code-referenced evidence, it has to say why, and that written answer becomes the basis of your appeal.

Are my phone photos really good enough?

Yes. Underwriters need to see specific things: a vent label, a clean five-foot perimeter, a roof material. We check every image for what it proves, and when a shot won't hold up, we tell you exactly what to retake and how.

I was nonrenewed. Is it too late?

It's exactly the time. A nonrenewal notice starts a clock, and a documented mitigation record is the strongest thing you can put in front of your current carrier, a new carrier, or the FAIR Plan. We build the packet and track the dates so nothing lapses while you fight.
