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 structural drying starts, the smaller the final loss.

It depends on your policy and the cause of loss. Structural drying is core covered mitigation when the moisture comes from a covered water loss. Equipment is billed per day at industry-standard Xactimate rates, and carriers expect documented daily moisture readings to justify equipment-days — we log every visit. 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.
Structural materials release moisture into the air at a controlled rate. Rushing the process risks trapped moisture, swelling, and mold growth.
