Why I Built ClaimOwl
When our home experienced severe damage, the insurance company offered to pay a fraction of what we were actually owed. Like most homeowners, I had no idea what to look for. The estimate was full of confusing terminology, depreciation holdbacks, line items I couldn't verify, and scope decisions I didn't know I could question. I didn't know which items were undervalued, what materials needed to be matched, or what building codes required them to cover.
Through research and the right tools, we were able to achieve a full recovery, more than $30,000 above the original offer. That experience changed my perspective entirely. Most homeowners accept the first number they're given because the process is deliberately opaque. Terms like "ACV," "O&P," and "like-kind-and-quality" are designed for industry insiders, not homeowners.
I built ClaimOwl to cut through that confusion. Upload your photos, answer a few questions, and we'll translate everything into plain language with real market pricing, so you can see exactly what your repairs should cost and where your estimate may fall short.
