When it comes time to file your homeowners insurance claim, it is important to find a fair and reputable contractor. Unfortunately there are contractors that prey on people’s fears and anxiety of what has just happened, especially when there is a large disaster area involved.
You may be approached by one of these sales people that often go door-to-door canvassing neighborhoods to generate new business to offer their cleanup and repair services. While many of these people are honest and reputable, some are not.
Must disagree with some advice. Adjusters regularly miss repairs in their estimates that contractors find. Policyholder should hire their own contractor by checking out the contractor’s references. Use the contractor’s estimate as the base estimate, not the adjuster’s estimate. Also, it is a very good idea to consult with a Public Adjuster, who will help the policyholder prepare their claim and collect much more money.
