You have insurance.

That doesn't mean you're covered the way you think you are.

Jen has spent years on roofs and at kitchen tables after the storm, explaining the same things over and over to people who were finding them out far too late. The Silver Lining Insurance Playbook is the version she wishes every one of them had read first.

What's inside the toolkit

These are the checklists from the book, pulled out so you can print them. One is for renewal time. One is for the day something happens. The third is for every conversation in between.

01 / Checklist

Policy Review Checklist

Twelve sections to walk your own policy through, once a year. Is your deductible a flat number or a percentage, and a percentage of what? Is the roof covered at replacement cost, and does that change as it gets older? What did that endorsement quietly take away? An afternoon with a highlighter covers most of it.

02 / Checklist

Claim Folder Checklist

What to keep, starting the day the damage happens. Which photos, and when to take them. Every invoice, letter and estimate. A log for who said what, because you will not remember. And nine deadlines that will pass whether or not anyone reminds you.

03 / Reference

Questions to Ask by Role

Eleven different people can turn up during a claim. Your agent. Two adjusters who have never met each other. A contractor, an engineer, your mortgage company. This is what to ask each one, and who is actually paying them.

Get the toolkit

Free, and yours to print. Tell Jen where to send it and what you do. Knowing who is actually asking is how she decides what to take on next.

17 pages

Three checklists, eleven sets of questions, and a pile of deadlines nobody is going to remind you about.
