No. We work directly with you; you will sign the contract or work authorization with us, as well as signing the satisfaction of completion of work when we are done.  But, because of our long history in this industry, we can help in dealing with the Insurance Companies.  We know what steps need to occur to help process paperwork and get the necessary approvals.  Also, we maintain the most current form of Xactamate, the Insurance industry standard software, which helps us produce pricing and schedules that are within industry standards.

The written contract protects you, as it details our agreement to you as to the work being performed, scheduled payment dates and pricing. The contract is a very important document that helps you understand what we have committed to and what is required of you.

The financial draw schedule will be included in your contract which details the payment arrangements.  On jobs that do not have a schedule, payment is due at the completion of the work.

On larger losses, mortgage companies often get involved in the construction process in order to safeguard their financial position. We will assist you wherever we can with determining these requirements, but please remember that your mortgage company in most cases will only deal with you.

Because of the unique nature of each project, there are certain areas that we can respond to faster than others.  To help us best  determine how quickly we can arrive, please call 714-965-7900.
