What's behind the system
Everything is built on one principle:
The contractor works for the contractor.
The insurance company works for the insurance company.
J.W. Crawford works for you.
This is where most owners get hurt.
They sign contracts without understanding the scope.
They approve change orders without knowing if they're valid.
They release final payment before the work is actually done.
You don't need another contractor.
You need someone in your corner.
Start with a Claim & Scope Review.
No sales pressure.
No contractor relationships.
Just an honest review of what you're walking into.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)
Q: What's the difference between you and a public adjuster?
A public adjuster fights to maximize your insurance settlement. We take over after the settlement — making sure the money gets spent correctly and the construction is done right.
Q: Do you work with the contractor or against them?
Neither. We work exclusively for the property owner. We hold contractors accountable to their scope and pricing without creating unnecessary conflict.
Q: What size projects do you work with?
We focus on insurance-related losses and construction projects in the $150,000–$350,000 range — large enough to justify professional oversight, small enough that most owners are managing it alone.
Q: When should I bring you in?
Before you sign anything. The earlier we're involved, the more we can protect. That said, we can step in at any phase — even if construction has already started.
Q: What does a Claim & Scope Review include?
A review of your insurance estimate, contractor proposal, scope gaps, change order exposure, and allowances — delivered as a written findings report with a follow-up call to walk you through it.
Q: Do you work outside Austin?
We serve Austin and cover the greater Central Texas market including Round Rock, Cedar Park, Georgetown, San Marcos, San Antonio, and more.
