In today’s competitive world, leading construction companies deliver more than just bricks and mortar. They act as true partners, drawing on their unique vision and expertise to help clients maximize opportunities and realize their project’s full economic potential.
Natural disasters can cause significant damage to a home, but the amount and type of damage vary greatly. For example, hurricanes can cause damage due to strong winds, but an accompanying storm surge also can cause significant flood damage. Hurricanes also can spawn tornadoes. This combination can equate to significant and even complete loss of properties.
And we’ve all seen the damage done to homes after a fire, flood, or earthquake. These events are called “disasters” for a reason. The structural integrity of a home can be severely damaged by any of these, leaving it uninhabitable.
In addition to disasters that cause roof and structural damage, a home suffering even a few inches of water damage can necessitate significant repairs as well as mold remediation. Likewise, after a wildfire, fire and smoke damage leaves lingering issues beyond what is visible — such as odors and drifting ash.
While insurance adjusters will take building codes and new regulations into account, costs for materials and local labor have increased exponentially. We work diligently with our Disaster Reconstruction clients to maximize their benefits. We know from experience, if your new home stays within the original home’s footprint, the project may be able to go directly to permitting, bypassing extra planning review. This type of knowledge can save you time and money, getting back to feeling whole again much sooner.
