Our Approach
A process built around your loss.
Every property and every loss is different. Our work starts with understanding yours — the structure, the damage, and what recovery actually requires.
Loss consulting is coordination work.
When a property suffers significant damage, the path to recovery involves more than repairs. It involves decisions, documentation, vendor selection, scheduling, and oversight — all happening at once, often under pressure.
Winfield Taylor brings structure to that process. We assess the loss, develop the scope, identify the right vendors, and manage the coordination from initial evaluation through final completion.
Understand
We begin with a thorough on-site assessment of the property. We identify the full scope of the damage, establish immediate priorities, and determine what the structure needs for a complete recovery. This evaluation forms the foundation for everything that follows.
Structural assessment, damage documentation, priority identification, scope development.
Plan
We document the work required and prepare detailed estimates using Xactimate X1, incorporating applicable building code requirements and relevant IICRC standards. A well-developed estimate ensures the recovery is properly scoped and that insurance documentation reflects the actual work needed.

Assemble
We recommend vendor network members based on their expertise, competency, and fit for your particular loss. You choose who to hire and contract directly with them. Our role is to identify the right people for the work — not to direct the vendors ourselves.
Vendor matching, capability assessment, direct client contracting, specialty coordination.
Coordinate
Once vendors are engaged, we manage the coordination and logistical oversight through final completion. We track progress, facilitate communication between parties, and help ensure the recovery stays on course from beginning to end.
Vendor coordination, schedule management, progress oversight, completion verification.
