Common friction with Progressive
Progressive sometimes uses third-party adjusters during high-volume periods, which can slow communication.
We document daily and email both the assigned adjuster and the third-party handler so updates reach the right person.
Progressive contents adjustments can come in low without per-item documentation.
We provide detailed contents inventories with photos and replacement-cost estimates per item — supplements are usually approved when properly documented.
Tip: call us before you call Progressive
Restoration crews can be on-site within hours; an adjuster may take a day or two. The faster mold starts, the smaller the final loss.

It depends on your policy and the cause of loss. Most policies cap mold remediation at $5,000–$10,000 by default. Coverage typically requires the mold be a direct result of a covered water loss — gradual mold from chronic humidity is often excluded. Either way, Catalyst documents everything Progressive needs and bills them directly where allowed.
Progressive typically assigns an adjuster within 1-3 business days. Catalyst can begin work immediately - reasonable emergency steps to limit further damage are reimbursable. Most claims close within 30-90 days depending on scope and any supplements.
Yes. Insurance carriers (including Progressive) cannot require you to use their preferred network. You have the absolute legal right to choose any licensed restoration company. Progressive pays your selected provider at the same rates as their preferred network.
Progressive expects photos from first response, a clear cause-of-loss narrative, an itemized scope in Xactimate format, documentation of the work performed, and final verification. Catalyst provides all of it and submits directly to your Progressive adjuster.
Some mold species produce allergens and mycotoxins that can cause respiratory issues, especially for sensitive individuals. Even cosmetic mold should be addressed because the underlying moisture problem will continue to feed growth.
