General Contractors and Your Insurance Claim?

Many homeowners try to save money after an insurance claim by operating as their own general contractor, or hiring a great many unlicensed trades. This decision is often well-intentioned but accidentally a costly mistake.

Your insurance carrier is going to request documents which prove you conducted the repairs which were approved and negotiated by your public adjuster. When you do not have the needed paperwork to prove out the proper use of the insurance funds for the scope that was approved, the insurance company will often not supply more money or provide final money for the rebuild.
