Introducing the First Choice Repair Program

We appreciate the opportunity to serve your insurance needs and we want to help you through your claim as quickly and efficiently as possible. 

One way we can help is through the First Choice Repair Program. The First Choice Repair Program is for customers who have damage to roof, siding or gutters. Farmers Insurance has a trusted relationship with First Choice Repair, a third party administrator, who credentials and manages networks of licensed, insured, contractors who are experienced in performing roofing, siding and gutter repairs.

You are under no obligation to use the First Choice Repair Program. You may use any contractor you wish. The choice is yours.

With the First Choice Repair Program the claims process is simplified. You do not have to spend your time contacting contractors, setting appointments and waiting for estimates. A specialist with the First Choice Repair Program will do this for you by arranging for an appointment with one of their network contractors. What’s more, you will receive a strong contractor warranty that is backed by the First Choice Repair Program.
