Green Planet Restoration Reveals Why Detailed Documentation Is a Game-Changer for Restoration Claims in California After the Wildfires

Los Angeles, CA - November 26, 2025 - More than $20.4billion has been paid to California wildfire survivors as of mid-2025. Green Planet Restoration of LA is urging homeowners and building owners across California to document their properties more thoroughly as wildfire losses continue to rise statewide. The company reports that detailed, pre-loss documentation has become one of the most effective ways for speeding up insurance claims, preventing underpayment, and avoiding disputes during the recovery process.

The Growing Challenge After California Wildfires

According to Cal FIRE's 2024 incident archive, California saw 8,110 wildfires, burning 1,077,711 acres and destroying 1,837 structures. Wildfires in California have caused billions of dollars in damage over the past decade. According to the California Department of Insurance, claim volume surges after major fires often overwhelm adjusters. This slows inspections, delays approvals, and increases the number of claim disputes.

It is also emphasized that insurers must begin claims investigations quickly, but delays can occur if evidence of property condition and contents is missing. Many policyholders struggle to prove the condition of their homes before the fire.

Without clear photos, detailed inventories, and proper documentation, insurers frequently require more time to evaluate claims. These gaps can lead to lower settlement offers or lengthy back-and-forth communication with insurance companies.

Green Planet Restoration of LA states that homeowners with organized pre-loss documentation see their claims reviewed more quickly. Adjusters have fewer questions, and verifying damage is faster and simpler.

Why Detailed Documentation Matters

During recent wildfires, more than 38,000 claims were filed, and insurers paid $12billion in initial payouts. Many homeowners, however, still faced long delays in claim processing because their documentation was incomplete. The company explains that thorough documentation gives insurers the exact evidence they need after a wildfire. This includes:

* High-resolution photos and videos of each room
* Inventory of belongings
* Notes describing materials, finishes, and structural conditions
* Documentation of upgrades, repairs, and remodeling
* Moisture and indoor air readings for smoke and soot tracking
* Exterior documentation including roofs, siding, windows, and outbuildings

These records help adjusters understand the home's full pre-fire condition, which supports fair settlement decisions and shortens the time needed to process claims.

Green Planet Restoration of LA adds that clear documentation also reduces disagreements between contractors and insurers, which is one of the biggest causes of stalled restoration projects for property owners.

"Wildfire losses are increasing every year, and homeowners deserve a smoother path to recovery," said the company's CEO. "We believe pre-loss documentation which is and should be detailed, and with verifiable records can make the difference between a fair recovery or claims denied."

Local Impact Across Southern California

Green Planet Restoration of LA provides documentation and restoration support throughout Los Angeles County, Ventura County, San Bernardino County, and Orange County. Our data shows that clients who maintained detailed documentation saw their insurance claims approved more quickly after the Palisades and Eaton wildfires in Southern California.

Homeowners who document early also reduce the risk of missed items during insurance payouts. This includes appliances, interior finishes, attic structures, HVAC systems, and belongings that usually go unlisted and remain uncompensated after fires.
