How We Do It

Here is how our pre-construction process works: A call comes in from the adjustor, agent or customer.
•Answer the call whenever possible or return the call in a timely manner to discuss the particulars of the job. This discussion is with one of the owners not an administrative person. We inquire as to the type of damage, extent and status of the claim. (i.e.; Has the insurance company been out? Have they completed the estimate? Would the adjustor rather we provide the estimate? Would the homeowner like a competing estimate to the adjustors?)
•Schedule an inspection as quickly as possible. (Return calls within 2 hours and schedule inspections within 2 days)
•Meet the homeowner at the job site to discuss the scope of work. (What needs to be done and what would they like to be done.)

•Provide an estimate within 2 days for most jobs. Extremely large or complicated jobs that require research for expensive or special order material prices may take longer.
•Work with the insurance company to get an agreed upon estimate that properly covers the work necessary to restore the home to pre loss conditions.
•Once the estimate is approved by the insurance company we create another estimate with any changes or additions requested by the homeowner that includes specific selections for items used during construction.
•Sign a contract based on this estimate to begin work.
•Work is scheduled and the actual rebuilding process begins.

In some instances, after major damage has been done some homeowners decide to sell the property.
