Insurance work can be incredibly profitable or it can completely destroy a contractor if it’s done wrong.

In this episode of Construction Champions, Ron Nussbaum sits down with Galen Hare, owner of Insurance Claim HQ, to break down the most common legal and contractual pitfalls contractors fall into when dealing with insurance claims.

Galen explains why vague contracts and sales-driven contingencies get contractors crushed, how insurance companies exploit unclear pricing, and why upgrades must always be priced separately. He also dives into deductibles, timelines, claim denials, and why contractors who walk away from underpaid claims are leaving massive money on the table.

This episode is a must-listen for any contractor doing roofing, storm restoration, fire restoration, or insurance-related work. Galen lays out exactly how the contractors who win in insurance work operate differently with process, discipline, and the right experts in their corner.

If you’re doing insurance work or thinking about getting into it, this episode will save you from expensive mistakes.
