Don't Let A Loss Turn Into A Financial Disaster

Don’t Let A Loss Turn Into A Financial Disaster

There is nothing worse than having a major home fire or other loss; unless it is to have a loss and then have difficulty getting your home repaired. This is especially true in areas of the country where a major disaster has hit. Unfortunately, disaster affected neighborhoods are often targeted by some unscrupulous people who offer construction, clean-up, or repair “services”, and then defraud their victims. We hope that you never have a disaster, but if you do, here are some sound suggestions for dealing with home repairs.

Here are a few tips to help you survive your disaster
1. Always hire a reputable contractor.
2. Ask for the contractor’s license and bond numbers, then check with the state.
3. Never pay 100% up front.
4. It is good to get more than one bid.
5. Contractors are not insurance agents; they cannot interpret coverage.
6. Never sign a certificate of completion until you are completely satisfied.
7. Get references.
8. Review all bills and documents.
9. Get your agent involved to help you through the process.
10. Get everything in writing, including costs and how they plan to deal with cost overages and changes.
