In the event of a catastrophe, like the hurricanes Harvey and Irma, loss of loved ones and property damage can be devastating, and recovery takes time. It’s always good to be as prepared as possible. Property owners that have been affected, need to take measures to prevent additional damage to their homes after a hurricane by contacting their flood and home insurance companies to begin the insurance claim process.
Q: Does my insurance company cover hurricane damage?
A: A homeowner’s insurance policy may not cover all of the possible damage a hurricane can cause to your home. Most standard homeowners and renters insurance policies often cover wind damage. Your policy, therefore, can compensate you for damage to your home that results from a hurricane or high winds (e.g., broken windows, torn roof, damage from fallen trees, etc.).
To get reimbursed for water damage, however, homeowners would need additional flood insurance from the National Flood Insurance Program. It is important to review your insurance policy thoroughly to learn what it covers and contact your local agent with questions to discuss your insurance needs.
Q: When should I begin the restoration process? Do I need to wait to hear from my insurance company?
A: During a storm event, it is important to contact your insurance company as soon as possible. Maintain the names, date, and time of everyone you spoke with at your insurance company. Since the insurance company may be overwhelmed by the number of people filing claims, it is reasonable to start protecting your home and property from more damage before your insurance adjuster has even inspected the property.
Before conducting any repairs, make sure you capture the extent of the water damage to support insurance claims by taking pictures or video of the damaged area and property. For structural or more permanent repairs, you might want to wait until your insurance company approves your claim.

Insurance claims can be a complicated process, and one of the most important steps is writing an accurate estimate. An estimate is a document that outlines the cost of repairs or replacements for damaged items.
After a hurricane has wreaked havoc on your property, navigating the insurance process can seem overwhelming and stressful. But by following some essential steps – outlined in this blog post – you’re equipped to ensure that you receive full compensation for damage caused by the storm.
Today all contractors working with insurance companies need to know what insurance policies they need to invest in before starting a project. While some have a laundry list of policies they traditionally buy before starting a project, others are more conservative about what they choose.
Just about every home and business owner fears a fire. Not only because it can be fatal for people living in the home but also for those around it. In addition, fire damage can devastate a home, if not restored in time and professionally, can lead to a ton of frustration and heartbreak.
