Drying the House Is Days. Rebuilding It Is Months.

Most restoration companies dry your house and hand you off to find a builder. That handoff is where the schedule dies and where nobody owns the outcome. We are a general contractor, so mitigation and rebuild are one contract.

Photographs, moisture readings and a written scope. If you should not file a claim, that is what you will be told.

Four places account for most South Florida roof leaks. None of them is the middle of the roof.

The difference

How we differ from the rest of this trade

We will not ask you to sign an assignment of benefits

An AOB hands your claim rights to a contractor. Some firms present one within minutes of arriving at a flooded house. We do not use them, and if anyone asks you to sign one while you are still shaken, that is the moment to stop and read it in daylight.

Mitigation and rebuild under one contract

The usual pattern is one company dries the house and hands you off to find a builder. That handoff is where months disappear and where nobody owns the outcome. We do both.

We will tell you not to file

If the damage sits below your deductible, or it is wear rather than a sudden covered event, filing costs you and recovers nothing — and a denial still sits on your loss history. That conversation happens before you call the carrier.

Documentation you own, not documentation we hold

Photographs, moisture readings and scope go to you as well as to the adjuster. If we and you ever part company mid-claim, you keep everything needed to carry on.

We do not use assignments of benefits, and we will not ask you to sign one.

FAQ

Common questions

How fast do I need to act on water?
Hours. In Florida heat, clean water becomes a mould problem in roughly 24 to 48 hours.
Should I open the windows to dry it out?
No, for most of the year here. You would be adding humid air to a space you are trying to dehumidify.
Will you ask me to sign an assignment of benefits?
No. We do not use them. If anyone asks you to sign one on your doorstep, read it in daylight first.
How long do I have to file a claim?
One year from the date of loss for a new or reopened claim, eighteen months for a supplemental. Both were shortened in 2022.
Will you tell me not to file?
Yes, when that is the honest answer. A denied claim still sits on your loss history.
Do you do the rebuild as well as the drying?
Yes, under one contract. That handoff is where most restoration projects stall.
Someone offered to cover my deductible.
That is insurance fraud in Florida and accepting it makes you a party to it. Walk away.
Do you negotiate with the adjuster?
No. We are contractors, not public adjusters — a separate licensed role in Florida. We provide scope and documentation.
