FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Navigating the aftermath of a storm can be overwhelming. Here are answers to our most frequently asked questions to help guide you through the restoration process and give you peace of mind.
Storm Damage Repair and Remodels
What should I do immediately after my home is damaged?
Your safety is the priority. Once you are safe, call us for emergency services like roof tarping to prevent further water intrusion. Avoid making permanent repairs until a full professional inspection is done.
How does the storm damage insurance claim process work?
We begin with a free, detailed inspection to document all damages. We then provide this evidence to your insurance provider to ensure a smooth and fair claims process for you.
Do you work directly with my insurance company?
Yes. Our experienced team communicates directly with your adjuster, providing all necessary documentation and advocating on your behalf to help maximize your settlement.
Do you offer financing or help with deductibles?
While regulations prevent contractors from covering deductibles, we offer flexible financing options to make the restoration process more accessible and affordable for your family.
How long will the repair process take?
The timeline varies depending on the damage. A simple roof repair might take a few days, while a full home rebuild could take several weeks. We will provide a clear timeline after our assessment.
Can you handle a full home restoration or just the exterior?
We are a full-service general contractor. We manage everything from exterior repairs and roofing to complete interior remodeling and reconstruction, ensuring a seamless process.
Mold Remediation
How quickly does mold grow after water damage?
In Florida’s humid climate, mold can begin to grow within just 24 to 48 hours. This makes rapid water removal and professional drying essential to prevent contamination.
Is the mold in my home dangerous?
Any mold can pose health risks, especially for those with allergies or respiratory issues. It’s crucial to have it professionally removed to ensure your home is safe.
What is your process for mold remediation?
We use a structured mold remediation process that includes containing the affected area, safely removing all mold-infested materials, and thoroughly drying the space to prevent regrowth.
Do you handle water extraction services, or just the mold?
We handle the entire process. Our services include initial water extraction and drying, which are critical first steps before we begin mold remediation and final reconstruction.
Roof Repair, Replacement, and Installation
How quickly can you respond for emergency roof repairs?
Our local team is on standby for rapid emergency response. In most cases, we can be on-site the same day to assess the damage and apply temporary protection, like roof tarping.
My roof looks okay, but I'm worried about hidden damage. What should I do?
Storm damage isn't always visible. If you suspect an issue, call us for a free, no-obligation inspection. We can identify subtle damage that could lead to major leaks down the road.
Should I repair or replace my damaged roof?
This depends on your roof's age and the extent of the damage. We provide an honest assessment and will recommend a repair if it’s a safe, cost-effective solution. If a roof replacement is needed, we’ll explain why.
