A Shadow Hills adjuster works from the scope in front of them, which is why the contractor's report has to be thorough. Denied Shadow Hills claims are often reopened successfully when proper documentation is supplied the second time. Most Shadow Hills claims that fail do so because the deterioration was cleaned up or patched before anyone photographed it.
