Yes. We work with every major carrier in Michigan — State Farm, Auto-Owners, Allstate, Farm Bureau, Frankenmuth Mutual, Citizens, and others. We understand exactly how each carrier approaches claims in Wayne County and have the documentation to supplement aggressively when initial estimates come in short.
Almost certainly not. First estimates routinely miss scope, underprice materials, or exclude legitimate line items. Phase III reviews every estimate and supplements aggressively. Our goal is your full recovery — not a quick close for the carrier.
Yes. You have the right to choose your own licensed contractor under your Michigan homeowner's policy. Insurance companies may push their preferred vendors, but you are not obligated to use them. Preferred contractors often work in the carrier's interest, not yours.
Yes. We hold Licensed Residential Builder #262000615, carry full general liability insurance, and are BBB A+ rated. We pull all required permits from Westland's Building Division for every project — no shortcuts.
The most common claims in Westland involve hail damage to aging ranch-home roofs — the city's residential core is dominated by homes built between 1960 and 1985, and many original or once-replaced roofs have reached the end of their serviceable life. Water intrusion near the Middle Rouge River corridor is the second major category, particularly when sump pumps fail during spring events. Kitchen fires and fires from dated electrical systems round out the core of what we handle here regularly.
Yes, significantly. The source of the water determines what coverage applies. Sewer backup, ground water infiltration, and overflow from the Rouge watershed each trigger different policy provisions — and carriers will push hard to reclassify a covered loss as an excluded one if the source isn't documented before mitigation begins. Phase III documents the water source at the time of inspection, which is the most important protective step a Westland homeowner can take.
Phase III starts with a ground-level inspection to identify hail strike density, granule loss, and structural damage to soffits, fascia, and gutters. We then access the roof directly to measure impact size, frequency, and functional damage. That full report goes to your carrier with photos aligned to Xactimate estimating categories — the format adjusters use to write scopes. Completing this before the adjuster visits is one of the most important steps in securing a full settlement.
Stop the source first — shut off the water main or address the sump pump. Get people and pets clear of the affected area. Call Phase III at (734) 237-7322 immediately. Do not run fans or attempt to dry it yourself; improper airflow spreads moisture into wall cavities and can create mold conditions within 48 hours. Do not discard anything before we document the damage — that evidence protects your claim value.
Emergency stabilization — board-up, water extraction, temporary repairs — happens within 24 to 48 hours. Permit issuance through Westland's Building Division typically takes 3 to 5 business days for residential projects. Active construction on a hail or water claim runs 1 to 3 weeks; a fire damage rebuild with structural involvement can run 6 to 12 weeks depending on the insurance approval timeline. We provide a detailed project schedule after the initial inspection.
A supplement is a documented request to add line items, increase quantities, or correct pricing in your adjuster's initial estimate. Most first estimates miss scope — they may exclude overhead and profit, use outdated material prices, or omit code-upgrade requirements that apply in Westland. Phase III reviews every adjuster estimate line by line and files supplements with supporting documentation. This process regularly recovers thousands of additional dollars for Westland homeowners that would otherwise be left on the table.
Yes. Mold remediation is a standard part of our restoration services. Westland's older ranch homes near the Middle Rouge corridor are particularly vulnerable — water events not dried within 48 to 72 hours frequently produce mold growth inside wall cavities and under flooring. We document the contamination, perform the remediation, and rebuild the affected areas under one claim so you are not managing multiple contractors.

☎ (734) 237-7322Phase III Construction is based in Westland — our office sits at 37600 Ford Rd, right in the heart of the community we have served since 1993. When a storm rolls through or a pipe fails at two in the morning, we are not driving in from another county. We are here, and we know this neighborhood the way only a contractor with more than three decades of local work can know it.
Westland's 85,420 residents live primarily in the kind of housing stock that demands vigilant maintenance and quick action when something goes wrong. The city's residential core is dominated by ranch-style homes built between the 1960s and 1980s, most of them in the 48185 and 48186 ZIP codes. These homes share common vulnerabilities: aging roof systems that original owners never replaced, older plumbing that corrodes quietly until it doesn't, and attic insulation profiles that invite moisture intrusion during freeze-thaw cycles. The Middle Rouge River corridor and the broader Hines Drive parkway system run along the city's eastern edge, and the flood-prone nature of that watershed is not theoretical — homeowners near Hines Park and along the Rouge's tributaries have watched their basements take on water during heavy spring and summer rain events. Wayne County's flat topography gives runoff nowhere to go quickly, which means that what starts as a storm event often becomes a prolonged water and mold problem inside the home.
Westland's residential base — largely ranch homes constructed between 1960 and 1985 — sits within Wayne County's lower Rouge River watershed, a system with a documented history of flooding that has pushed the Federal Emergency Management Agency to update its floodplain maps for the area multiple times over the past two decades.
The restoration work Phase III handles most frequently in Westland reflects the city's specific housing profile. Roof replacement and storm damage claims are a constant — the area's older ranch homes often have original or once-replaced shingles that have reached the end of their serviceable life, and a single hail event can push a marginal roof into legitimate claim territory. We scope those losses accurately and work the insurance process so homeowners get what they are owed rather than a lowball settlement based on depreciation schedules their adjuster didn't fully explain. Water damage is the other dominant category here. Whether the source is a sump pump failure during a Middle Rouge flood event, a burst pipe in an uninsulated exterior wall during a Michigan cold snap, or a slow roof leak that saturated an attic for years before anyone noticed, the damage pathway in these older homes tends to run deep. Mold remediation frequently follows water events in homes with 1960s and 1970s building materials, because fiberglass insulation and older drywall compounds hold moisture. Fire damage restoration rounds out the core work — kitchen fires in particular, where the combination of smoke, soot, and water from suppression creates a complex multi-trade claim. Phase III manages all of it under one license.
Filing a property damage claim in Michigan is not the same experience it was fifteen years ago. Insurers have tightened documentation requirements, leaned more heavily on their own adjusters and preferred vendors, and built internal processes that favor fast, low settlements. Phase III exists specifically to counter that dynamic. When a Westland homeowner calls us after a loss, we come out and conduct our own independent scope — not a courtesy walk-through but a line-by-line assessment that becomes the foundation of everything that follows. We communicate directly with the assigned adjuster from State Farm, Allstate, Farm Bureau Michigan, Auto-Owners, Citizens, or Frankenmuth Mutual, whichever carrier holds the policy. We attend the adjuster inspection when possible, submit supplemental documentation when the initial estimate is incomplete, and negotiate disputed line items with supporting material evidence. Our track record across more than 1,000 claims and more than $10 million recovered for Southeast Michigan homeowners reflects what consistent professional advocacy looks like in practice.
Westland Fire Department operates five stations across the city, maintaining response times typically in the 4 to 7 minute range for most residential addresses. When fire crews arrive quickly and contain a fire to a single room or floor, the visible fire damage footprint is smaller — but the suppression water, smoke, and soot often travel farther through the structure than the flames did. A kitchen fire that fire crews knock down in under 10 minutes can still produce 10,000 to 20,000 gallons of firefighting water distributed through floor cavities, wall assemblies, and ceilings throughout the house. Phase III coordinates with the fire department on scene release and begins moisture mapping within the first 24 hours of access. This mapping documents the full scope of secondary water damage, which is a separate Xactimate category from fire and smoke damage and directly affects the total insurance settlement. In Westland's older ranch-style construction, water introduced during fire suppression wicks quickly into slab-on-grade floor assemblies and 1970s fiberglass insulation packages — areas that need to be documented before mitigation disturbs the evidence. Calling Phase III the same day the fire department clears the scene is the single most important step a Westland homeowner can take.
Westland's Building Division requires permits for structural repairs, roofing replacements, electrical work, and plumbing modifications — the full scope of what a significant restoration project involves. The permit review process for residential work in Westland typically takes 3 to 5 business days, and Phase III files those applications as the licensed General Contractor on every project. Work performed without permits in Westland can produce stop-work orders, required demolition of completed work, and complications with insurance settlement when the carrier's inspector evaluates the final scope. Permitted work also triggers a required completion inspection that gives the homeowner a documented record the project meets current Michigan Building Code — which matters both at resale and in any future insurance dispute. Phase III accounts for Westland's permit timeline in every project schedule from day one.
