There are a few common myths about storm damage repair that seems to circulate regularly. Here are a few of the most common ones:
That you must use a contractor that is recommended by your insurance company - this is simply not true. You have rights as a homeowner to choose whichever contractor you wish to work with, and your insurance company cannot force you to use a certain company.
That repairs must be made immediately after the storm - While it is true that some repairs may need to be made urgently, this is not always the case. In many instances, you may have some time to wait for quotes and choose the best option for your needs.
That all damage caused by a storm is covered by insurance - Unfortunately, this is not always the case. Every insurance policy is different, and you will need to check with your provider to see what is included in your coverage.
