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 sewage starts, the smaller the final loss.
