National Storm Damage Service

Here are some reasons why to go with a nationally seasoned insurance restoration contractor such as Huber Construction, Co. / Huber Roofing & Restoration:

1) We have the experience and are skilled in what we do.

2) There is a time limit set by insurance companies to complete your work. Without the help of national contractors (and national insurance adjustors) coming into your market and helping you with your claim it is possible the time limits may lapse and could cause you difficulties with your claim.

3) Most national storm contractors, such as Huber Construction, Co., have gained vast experience in the insurance claim process. This process is universal throughout the country. This process is extremely confusing for most homeowners and the more your contractor knows the less of a burden it will be for you.

Tips for Finding the Right Contractor

Here are some tips for picking the best national storm restoration contractor :

Hail, wind and rain can wreak havoc on our homes, causing untold amounts of damage and issues that require your immediate attention to thwart any additional problems. It’s also when unscrupulous contractors tap on your front door seeking work at what seems to be an incredibly good price. In reality the door-to-door scams are little more than an effort to part you with your money, warns a number of consumer protection groups, and in the end you’re likely to have more problems than you started with and fewer dollars as a result. In a recent poll of its membership, Angie’s List found 34 percent of those who experienced any storm damage were approached by a contractor to do the work. Not only was it priced cheaply, but was to be paid in cash. “One of our members said she was desperate and didn’t know what to do,” list founder Angie Hicks said. “That homeowner was taken by almost every she had dealings with.”

Scrimping on the cost of the project — especially when you have little clue what that cost should be — may seem frugal, but it’s not very bright. A cheap, fast deal is tempting, but foolhardy to take the first that appears.

A few key tips before hiring someone to fix your damage:

* Get written estimates. It’s time consuming and inconvenient, but you’ll feel better in the end. Oral estimates are not worth the paper they’re written on. This is especially true if the repairs will not be done for the insurance proceeds.

* Check licensing requirements and permits in your area. Ensure the business is indeed licensed, permitted and, if necessary, credentialed.

* Refuse to pay in cash. That’s a sure sign of a scam. Some require a deposit. Make sure it’s no more than 1/2 the job.

* If you can, have a home inspector survey the extent of the damage to ensure you’re capturing all that requires fixing. The Huber Construction, Co. staff is trained to survey your damage. The insurance adjustor works for the insurance company. We work on behalf of YOU, the homeowner. We are your adjustor and will make sure you are getting everything you are entitled to.

* Check the local Better Business Bureau, as well as online consumer-review pages that might give you some insight to the business trying to solicit your work. Huber Construction, Co. has had an A-plus rating with the BBB since our start in 1997.

* Always check references and remember, it’s possible they’ve been fabricated or are close associates. Go see the work yourself.
