We Know Brighton
Brighton is Livingston County’s most active residential community — a historic village core dating to the 1830s surrounded by decades of suburban expansion that has brought subdivisions, lake communities, and newer development along the 96 and US-23 corridors. The housing inventory spans from 1880s downtown village homes to 2020s new construction in rapidly growing townships.
Livingston County sits in one of SE Michigan’s most active severe weather corridors. Brighton and the surrounding township see significant hail events, high-wind damage, and spring flooding from the Huron Chain of Lakes system. Insurance claims in this market are frequently under-documented — adjusters from carriers less familiar with Livingston County properties routinely miss scope that Phase III recovers through supplement filing.
We’re based in Westland — about 35 minutes from Brighton. 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 Brighton projects.
Severe Hail — Large Township Home with All Four Roof Faces and Outbuilding Excluded
A major hail event hit a Brighton Township home with a detached garage. Farm Bureau’s adjuster approved replacement on the main house front slope and excluded the back slopes, the garage, and the AC condenser entirely.
Phase III inspected every structure and all roof faces. The main house showed functional hail damage across all four slopes. The garage roof had clear granule loss consistent with full replacement. The AC condenser fin damage was visible to inspection.
We submitted a complete supplement covering all missed elements. Farm Bureau approved the full scope: complete house roof replacement across all faces, garage roof, and AC condenser.
Full four-face house roof, garage roof, and AC condenser approved. Settlement exceeded initial estimate by 51%. No additional out-of-pocket.
Lakefront Property — Spring Flooding and Foundation Seepage Across Two Levels
Spring flooding overwhelmed the drainage system at a Brighton lakefront property. Water entered the finished basement and migrated into the first-floor wall cavities. Allstate’s adjuster estimated basement carpet and drywall replacement only.
Phase III’s moisture assessment found elevated readings in the first-floor wall cavities, sub-floor framing, and several areas of the finished basement that the adjuster hadn’t included. Mold growth had begun in the basement insulation.
We built a complete scope covering the full basement rebuild, first-floor wall cavity drying and repair, and mold remediation. We also documented the basement’s finished flooring and built-ins at correct replacement cost. Allstate approved the full supplemented scope.
Full basement rebuild and first-floor wall repair approved. Premium finished basement materials correctly priced. Mold remediation covered. Supplement recovered 43% above initial estimate.
The Phase III Process
How We Handle Your Claim
Most contractors fix the damage and hand you a bill. Phase III manages the entire claim — documentation, filing, supplements, and licensed rebuild — so you walk away with what your policy actually covers.
