Want to bill storm jobs?
Get ready.
One storm job can pay $15,000 or more. The hard part is getting the insurance company to agree.
$0 due today. Card required. Cancel anytime in 14 days. From $48/mo after.
Same tree. Same street. Two very different checks.
An oak lands on a roof. The homeowner wants it gone today. Insurance will pay for it. Then the adjuster starts asking questions.
“The adjuster is only offering $500 for tree removal.” How it usually starts
Adjusters push back two ways. They fight your price, or they fight your paperwork. Most crews aren’t ready for either one.
It’s not personal. They pay what you can prove. That’s the whole game, and nobody ever hands you the rules.
Billed storm jobs before? You know the list. Haven’t yet? This is what you’re walking into.
- ×Your signed work order is a photo of a paper form.
- ×The before photos are on three different guys’ phones.
- ×Your invoice says “tree removal, $8,400.” Nothing backs it up.
- ×So you take the $500. Or you argue for three weeks.
That’s how an $18,000 job turns into $500. Not because you did anything wrong. Because you couldn’t prove it fast enough.
Over a season that’s tens of thousands of dollars. And it gets decided before the first cut, not after the adjuster calls.
You can drop a 90-foot oak between a house and a power line. The paperwork shouldn’t be the part that beats you.
The tools the big crews pay $80 a month for. Plus one nobody else sells.
Signed at the tailgate, before the saw comes out
Build the work order on your phone. Send it. They sign on theirs. Nothing to download, no paper to lose, no driving back.

Every photo filed to the claim, not to a camera roll
Before, during, after. Whoever’s on site shoots them. They land in the right job folder on their own, right next to the contract and the invoice.

Your rates. Your iron. On every line item.
Your bucket truck. Your chipper. Your crane. Your climber. Set your rates once and every claim prices the same way. When the adjuster fights your number, you already have the answer.
A sidekick who already knows insurance billing
Ask it in plain English. It writes the invoice, the demand letter, or the whole claim packet, using the photos and rates already on the job. It knows what adjusters look for. You don’t have to.
Know what you’re owed, to the dollar
Every claim you’ve opened. What’s been collected. What’s still sitting out there, and how long it’s been sitting. No more guessing which insurer still owes you.

Replaces two apps you already pay for.
One storm job covers it for years.
Two plans. Start on Ready.
Month to month. Cancel any time.
Included
How the bill works. Ready includes $48/mo of usage. That covers a normal month of contracts and photos. Busy storm months use more, and you only pay for what you use. Your running total is on screen in the app, always.

Everything in Ready, plus
For crews already running storm work. Past about five claims a year, unlimited costs less than buying them one at a time. Usage works the same way, with $100/mo included.

Let’s talk instead →
One job pays for years of this.
Think about the last big one you worked. How much of that check did you actually see? Billed a dozen of these or none at all, the number on the table is the same. A storm job you can back up bills five figures. The same job you can’t back up is the one they offer you $500 for.
Over a season, that gap runs into tens of thousands of dollars. The money was already on the table. This is about keeping it.
Those job values are what this work bills in the field. They’re not a promise about your business. $348 per claim and from $48/mo are our prices. Run your own numbers below.
What was last season worth?
How many storm jobs did you bill to insurance last year?
Jobs where an insurer paid, not regular tree work. Zero is a real answer.
What does one of those jobs pay, roughly?
The total the insurer pays out, not your margin.
Storm work you billed last year
–
Your numbers, not ours. Ready at $48/mo and claims at $348 each are our prices. The rest is just math. Usage on top depends on how busy the month is.
Before you put a card in.
Is the trial actually free, and why do you need my card?
You’re charged $0 today. The card sits on file so nothing breaks on day 15 if you stay, and so the meter has somewhere to go if you work a real claim during the trial.
Cancel inside 14 days and you pay nothing for the subscription. We’d rather tell you the card is required here than spring it on you at checkout.
Is $48 really all I pay?
$48/mo is the base and it includes $48 of usage. That covers a normal month of contracts, photos and documents. It’s why we say “from $48” and not just “$48.”
Busy months cost more because you’re using more. Working a claim adds to it. We’d rather charge you for the storm month than charge everybody a storm-month price all year. Your running total is on screen the whole time, line by line. No bill you didn’t watch add up.
I’ve never billed a storm job to insurance. Is this for me?
Yes, and that’s kind of the point. You don’t need to know how a claim gets built. That part is the app’s job. It writes the work order, the claim packet and the demand letter, and it knows what adjusters expect to see.
You bring the work and the photos. Start using the contracts and photos on your regular jobs now, so the habit is there when the first storm call comes. The first claim is the one that feels hard. It’s a lot easier when the file built itself while you worked.
What is a “claim”, and why is it $348?
One claim is one loss: one storm, one property, one claim number. $348 buys it outright on Ready, with 30 days to pay. It covers that claim from the work order through to getting paid.
It’s priced on what the claim is worth to you, not what it costs us. A job the insurer pays $18,000 on isn’t a $20 piece of software. And past about five a year, Pro is cheaper. We’d rather tell you than let you keep buying one at a time.
Does the trial cover claims too?
No. The 14 days cover the subscription. Work a real claim during the trial and that claim bills like it would any other month. We’re not going to pretend otherwise and then put it on your first invoice.
I’m not a computer guy. How long will this take me?
It runs on the phone you already have. The one thing worth doing up front is setting your equipment and labor rates. That takes about twenty minutes, once. After that a contract is three taps at the tailgate.
Nothing to install. Nothing for the homeowner to download. No training week. If you can text a photo, you can work a claim in this.
What happens in winter when I’m not doing storm work?
Ready is $48 because it isn’t a storm-only tool. Contracts and photos go on every regular job you do in January. That’s the same reason it replaces two apps you already pay for.
If it still doesn’t make sense for a few months, call us before you cancel. We’d rather keep your account, templates and claim history warm than have you rebuild it in the spring.
Do I have to drop the software I already run the business on?
No. This sits beside your CRM, it doesn’t replace it. Billing Sidekick does one job: getting a claim documented and paid. It isn’t trying to be where you schedule crews or run your books.
Can I cancel? What happens to my files?
Cancel anytime. Ready has no contract. You keep read-only access for 60 days so nothing disappears while you pull your records, and the meter stops. Your data is yours.
The next storm is already on someone’s forecast.
Next time the phone rings at 6am, the contract is on your phone before you’re out of the driveway. Fourteen days to set that up, no charge.
