We Know Woodhaven
Woodhaven is defined by its postwar housing boom. Block after block of brick ranch homes from the 1950s and 1960s, split-level colonials from the 1970s, and the occasional 1980s two-story built as the city’s remaining lots finally filled in. These are solid homes — built when brick was standard and craftsmanship was the expectation — but they carry 50 to 70 years of plumbing, electrical, and roofing that performs accordingly.
A fire in a 1963 Woodhaven brick ranch behaves differently than a fire in a 2005 subdivision colonial. The older home has original knob-and-tube wiring in some walls, lath-and-plaster that absorbs smoke deeply, and hardwood floors under carpeting that adjusters routinely miss or underprice. Phase III has worked Woodhaven claims long enough to know exactly where every adjuster cuts scope and what documentation is required to recover it.
We’re based in Westland — about 10 minutes from most Woodhaven neighborhoods. When you call Phase III, your claim is managed locally and personally, not handed to a national call center.

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 Woodhaven projects.
Kitchen Fire in a 1964 Brick Ranch — Smoke Throughout the Attic
A kitchen fire in a postwar Woodhaven brick ranch caused visible fire and smoke damage to the kitchen and adjacent dining room. The State Farm adjuster produced an estimate covering those two rooms. The homeowner called Phase III before signing anything.
What the adjuster’s scope missed was significant. Phase III ran thermal imaging across the full structure before any mitigation began. The original lath-and-plaster walls had allowed smoke to migrate into the uninsulated attic cavity and down into the interior wall framing on the opposite side of the house. The scope grew from two rooms to the full first floor plus attic.
We supplemented for original-spec plaster repair throughout the affected first floor, hardwood floor refinishing across all affected rooms, and full attic remediation. State Farm approved the complete supplemented scope. The family came home to the house they had — not a modern approximation of it.
Full first-floor restoration plus attic remediation. Original plaster repaired to spec. Hardwood floors refinished. Insurance supplement recovered 41% above initial adjuster estimate. No out-of-pocket beyond the deductible.
Major Hail Event — Four Roof Faces, Gutters, and AC Unit All Under-Documented
A spring hail storm hit a 1979 Woodhaven colonial. The Auto-Owners adjuster walked the roof and approved replacement on the two front-facing slopes. The homeowner was told the back slopes were “minimal damage.”
Phase III inspected all four roof faces and found granule loss and impact bruising consistent with full replacement on every slope. The gutters showed functional damage across the full run. The AC condenser had bent fin damage that Auto-Owners hadn’t documented. None of this appeared in the original estimate.
We documented with close-up impact photography and submitted a formal supplement. Auto-Owners approved the complete scope: full four-face roof replacement, gutter system, and AC condenser. What started as a partial re-roof became a complete restoration.
Full four-face roof replacement, complete gutter system, and AC condenser approved. Final settlement exceeded initial estimate by 47%. No additional out-of-pocket.
