The Property Shield Program — A Storm Response System for Twin Cities Property Managers
Not a vendor. A system. Repair King gives property managers, HOAs, and real estate investors a documented, repeatable storm response protocol — so when owners ask questions after a storm, you have answers.
Every Storm Exposes Two Types of Property Managers
Every time a significant storm passes, your owners start asking questions. Did our building take damage? Should we file a claim? Who verified the damage? What if we missed something?
Most property management companies have no structured answer — because they have no system. No protocol. No designated first responder. That silence is a liability.
The managers who answer those questions confidently — with documentation, with a dated inspection report, with a clear recommendation — are the managers owners never leave. The Property Shield Program makes you that manager.
What Your Owners Actually Need From You
1 — Peace of Mind
Owners need to know their asset was inspected, documented, and protected — without having to call anyone to ask. When you can hand them a dated inspection report after every major storm event, that question is answered before it's asked.
2 — Asset Protection
A management partner who catches storm damage before it compounds into a six-figure deferred loss on their balance sheet. Missed damage doesn't disappear. It becomes a dispute, a liability, or an unexpected capital call — usually at the worst possible time.
3 — Operational Freedom
Not spending three weeks personally coordinating inspectors, adjusters, and contractors after every major weather event. When Repair King is your designated storm response partner — one call activates the entire system.
The Four Questions Every Owner Asks After a Storm
1 — Did our building actually take damage?
Without a professional assessment, you have no defensible answer.
2 — Should we file a claim?
Filing the wrong one — or missing the right one — costs money. Both mistakes are avoidable with the right documentation.
3 — Who verifies the damage?
Whoever gets there first controls the scope. Storm chasers know this. That's why they knock on your owners' doors within 24 hours of every major event.
4 — What if we missed it?
Missed damage becomes deferred liability. It doesn't disappear — it shows up later as a dispute, a larger repair, or an owner who questions your competence.
The firms that solve these problems before owners ask them become the firms owners never leave.
What the Property Shield Program Actually Does
Repair King's Property Shield Program gives your company a formal, documented storm response system — delivered under your brand or as a transparent Repair King partnership. You choose.
Path 1 — White Label Partner
We work behind the scenes. Every storm inspection report goes out under your company's name and logo. Full vendor control stays with you. You position yourself as the proactive manager with a proprietary storm response system. Your owners never need to know who's behind it — unless you want them to.
Path 2 — Transparent Partner
Repair King is named as your official storm response contractor. We deliver reports directly to you. You control the owner conversation. Full professional documentation, clear damage assessments, support through any repairs or claims — delivered in Repair King's name with your full endorsement.
Path 3 — Designated First Responder
When hail hits 1"+ or winds exceed 50 mph in your portfolio's area, Repair King initiates. We inspect every affected property. We document everything. We give you a clear, dated report with recommendations. You have answers before your owners finish their morning coffee.

The Repair King Difference — What No Other Property Manager Partner Offers
Forensic documentation standard
Every inspection uses the same documentation standard we apply to residential insurance claims — photos, measurements, material identification, code cross-referencing. The result is a report that holds up under insurance scrutiny — not just a contractor's assessment.
Free Hail Impact Reports — 11 years of data
Repair King provides verified storm history for every property in your portfolio — hail size, date, severity, and geographic impact for the past 11 years. When an owner asks when the damage happened, you have the data. When an adjuster questions whether a storm caused the damage — you have the proof.
Mock adjustments — pre-storm documentation
The single most underutilized tool in property management. Repair King conducts pre-storm condition inspections that document the baseline state of your properties. When damage occurs, you have a before-and-after record that is nearly impossible for an adjuster to dispute.
The King's Men Network
When a claim gets complex — structural disputes, coverage denials, bad faith insurance practices — Repair King coordinates public adjusters, forensic engineers, and litigation attorneys. All through one point of contact.
Required disclaimer: Repair King is a licensed General Contractor. We do not hold licenses as a public adjuster, attorney, or engineer. Any insurance claim handling, legal services, or specialized evaluations are performed exclusively by independent, licensed professionals we coordinate with.
The Stop-Light Claim Decision Model
Not every storm event warrants a claim. Not every claim should be ignored. Filing the wrong one is expensive. Missing the right one is also expensive. Repair King gives every Property Shield partner access to our claim decision framework — a structured triage model that helps you make the right call before you pick up the phone.

Repair King's forensic documentation gives you the numbers to run this model with confidence — not guesswork.
What This Does for Your Business
01 — You have a defensible record
When an owner asks why a claim wasn't filed — or why it was — you have a dated, professional inspection report to back your decision. Not a memory. A document.
02 — You control the vendor narrative
When contractors start knocking on owners' doors after a storm, you've already been there. You already have the assessment. You decide who works on your properties — not whoever got there first.
03 — Owners see you as the expert
Proactive storm verification is something most property managers never do. The ones who do it are the ones owners call when they have more assets to place. The Property Shield Program makes that your standard.
Who the Property Shield Program Is Built For
- Property management companies — residential and commercial portfolios
- HOA boards and community association managers
- Real estate investors with multiple properties
- Asset management companies and family offices
- Real estate brokers who manage properties for investor clients
- Any organization responsible for properties they don't personally own
Why Repair King — Not Just Any Contractor
Repair King was built on exactly that standard — by Mike Holmes, a former mortgage loan officer who spent over a decade analyzing financial risk before building one of the Twin Cities' most forensically prepared restoration companies. He understands asset management thinking. He understands what owners expect from their management teams. And he built the Property Shield Program to make property managers the most prepared professionals in the room after every storm.
Since 2009. Over 15 years of Twin Cities storm restoration. The documentation standard owners expect. The response system property managers need.
