Building for the next generation, Bulldog Builders LLC creates roofing contractors projects in Big Bend that are designed to become family legacies. The foundation of the company rests upon two decades of unparalleled experience gained within the demanding field of insurance claims adjudication. The principal’s specialized knowledge began locally, having graduated from Waukesha South (1991) and Carroll University (1996), following a crucial internship at State Farm Insurance.
For the next ten years, the principal worked exclusively for an independent firm handling State Farm claims, primarily focusing on complex property damage assessments. During periods when claims work was lighter, hands-on experience was gained by renovating houses and completing restoration projects through a network of family and friends. This unique duality—field construction skills paired with deep claims management expertise—sets the firm apart.
The journey continued as an independent adjuster, providing services for six to seven years to approximately 10 to 15 different carriers, including major names such as Nationwide, AAA, Auto Owners, Germantown Mutual, Farmers, Allstate, and Homesite. This tenure required nationwide travel, responding to every major hurricane event since 1996. This extensive background resulted in involvement in over 12,000 individual claims, offering profound insight into the diverse policies and internal management structures of insurance companies—an insight most Big Bend general contractors simply cannot offer.
Since 2013, the focus has entirely shifted to serving the public, leveraging this unique skill set on behalf of homeowners facing drawn-out battles with carriers. Bulldog Builders LLC meticulously documents loss and attempts to resolve disputes using reason first. If necessary, the team expertly invokes specific policy provisions—a core competency developed through years of adjusting—to ensure the client achieves the desired resolution.
