A Porter Ranch adjuster works from the scope in front of them, which is why the contractor's report has to be thorough. Insurance work in Porter Ranch turns on documentation. Harm recorded in advance of anything is touched is the difference between a paid claim and a denied one. We see it on Porter Ranch roofs every week.
