We Know Auburn Hills
Auburn Hills is a rapidly evolved Oakland County community — a mix of established residential neighborhoods that date to the 1960s and 1970s and newer development built around the corporate and university presence along the I-75 and M-59 corridors. Oakland University’s proximity has driven significant housing development, and the city’s residential inventory now spans a wide range of ages, styles, and values.
SE Michigan hail and storm activity hits Auburn Hills in line with the rest of Oakland County — spring and summer events that leave adjuster estimates in their wake that routinely miss scope on both older ranches and newer subdivision homes. Phase III has worked Oakland County claims for over 30 years and knows how to document and supplement for the full scope on every housing type.
We’re based in Westland — under 35 minutes from Auburn Hills. When you call Phase III, your claim is managed personally from the first call through the final permit inspection.

Phase III In Action
How We Work
The difference between a Phase III claim and a typical contractor claim shows up in the settlement. Here’s what that looks like on Auburn Hills projects.
Major Hail Event — Back Slopes, AC Condenser, and Siding All Excluded from Initial Estimate
A significant hail storm hit an Auburn Hills colonial. State Farm’s adjuster approved the two front-facing roof slopes and excluded the rear slopes, AC condenser, and west-facing siding.
Phase III inspected the complete exterior and found functional hail damage across all four roof faces, clear impact on all west-facing siding panels, bent AC condenser fins, and gutter damage across the full run.
We documented with close-up impact photography at every strike point and submitted a formal Xactimate supplement. State Farm approved the complete scope.
Full four-face roof replacement, complete gutter system, west siding, and AC condenser all approved. Settlement exceeded initial estimate by 48%.
Kitchen Fire — Open Floor Plan Smoke Spread Missed Across First Floor
A kitchen fire in an Auburn Hills colonial sent smoke rapidly through the open floor plan to the dining room, great room, and study. Auto-Owners’ adjuster estimated only the kitchen.
Phase III documented the full first floor with thermal imaging before mitigation began. Smoke had penetrated all four first-floor spaces adjacent to the kitchen and traveled into the second-floor stairwell.
We supplemented for complete first-floor smoke remediation and stairwell remediation. Auto-Owners approved the full scope.
Full first-floor smoke remediation and stairwell approved. Kitchen rebuild at correct scope. Supplement recovered 44% above initial adjuster estimate.
