Insurance Repair Guides
Property damage creates two separate problems: the claim process and the work required to put the home back together. These guides focus on documentation, repair scope, reconstruction, hidden damage, finish matching, and what homeowners should expect before and during the construction phase.
Separate coverage from construction
The insurance carrier decides coverage. The contractor evaluates and completes the repair scope. Keeping those roles clear prevents confusion.
Expect the visible damage to be only part of the scope
Flooring, drywall, trim, cabinets, tile, and adjoining finishes can all be connected once damaged materials are removed.
