Please share far and wide with anyone who could benefit that has lost a home. 


  1. You do not need a public adjuster.

A recovery and reconstruction advisor skilled in insurance claims who is a licensed contractor is key to being able to recover all of your insurance’s policy limits. These professionals have the dual expertise in both construction and insurance, which is crucial for accurately estimating rebuild costs and addressing any discrepancies in the insurance company’s offer. They can advocate for the right materials, labor, and timeline needed for proper restoration—things that might not be fully understood by an adjuster without a construction background.


Plus, a licensed contractor with experience in claims can help identify hidden damages or more costly repairs that an adjuster might miss. They essentially bridge the gap between your insurance settlement and what the true cost of rebuilding is.


  1. Insurance companies base their settlement on the home you lost, not the one you want to rebuild.


    Estimating the cost to rebuild after a loss is a specialized skill. Not only do contractors need to have a deep understanding of construction costs, but they also need to know how to navigate the insurance claims process. The adjuster’s settlement offer may not always fully reflect the actual cost to rebuild, especially if there are certain materials, codes, or local regulations to consider. A contractor experienced in this type of estimation can ensure that the estimate reflects the true scope of the work and helps avoid any underpayment. Further there may be provisions in your policy that allow you to recover funds beyond just your dwelling coverage.


  1. You can be empowered to settle your own claim!

    With the right professional guidance, you can arm yourself with the tools to go “toe-to toe” with the insurance company using the insurance company’s own tools and  approach!

    When you have the right professional guidance, especially from someone who knows the ins and outs of the insurance claims process, you can confidently take control of your own claim. It’s all about understanding the terminology, the calculations, and the approach the insurance companies use to settle claims.

    Having a skilled recovery advisor or contractor with a deep understanding of the insurance company’s methods puts you in a powerful position. With their help, you can challenge underestimations, question lowball offers, and make sure you're getting everything you're entitled to under your policy. You’ll also be able to speak the insurance company's language, ensuring your argument holds weight when it comes to covering full replacement costs.

    This can make a huge difference in the final settlement. It’s empowering to know you don’t have to just accept the initial offer but can fight for what’s rightfully yours.
