Plan your insurance requests visit
An insurance request might call for repair photos, an invoice, a contractor estimate, a licensed inspection, or engineering. Those documents are not interchangeable. Ask what the recipient will accept before booking.
Planning your next step? Our guide explains from deck report to repair plan: what to do next so you can prepare a clearer request.

What to send before we arrive
Tell us whether the property is inside Richmond city limits and whether the deck serves a single home, rental, or shared outdoor area.

- The submission deadline

Local resources for Richmond
Richmond Building Inspection handles plan review, permits, and inspections for city projects. Madison County also provides separate building application resources, so the property’s jurisdiction should be confirmed before submitting plans.
Richmond Building Inspection
From the visit to a written scope
Yellowstone can discuss a contractor assessment, repair scope, and documentation of contracted work. Acceptance and coverage decisions remain with the insurer; no renewal outcome is guaranteed.
Scheduling and access in Richmond
Provide the full property address rather than only the city name. We will confirm scheduling, the number of structures, safe access below the deck, and who should attend the visit. If there is a deadline, include the actual notice so the work and required document can be discussed together.
