Rebuilding Your Life After a Fire

 Thankfully, Santa Clarita Valley has not experienced fires as devastating as the Camp Fire of 2017, which killed 85 people and scorched 18,800 structures. However, that doesn’t mean residents are completely unfamiliar with loss. Destruction caused by the recent Tick Fire has left more than 26 structures destroyed. Families are left questioning whether they should repair the damage or find a new home. Randal Winter Construction has helped several families consider their options. With each of our clients, we strive to provide the support and insight they need to make an informed decision and rebuild their lives after a fire.
What to Do After a Fire
Contact Your Insurance Company
Contacting your insurance company should be close to the top of your list of priorities. An insurance agent will be able to tell you what steps need to be taken immediately. They can also let you know what expenses will be covered by insurance.
Keep Receipts
It’s pertinent that you save receipts when paying for anything related to fire loss. These receipts may be needed by your insurance company and they may help prove losses claimed on your income tax.
Watch Out for Scams
Whether looking for a professional to help with debris clearance or a home remodel, homeowners should always be wary of counterfeit businesses. Many untrustworthy, unlicensed contractors will require money upfront, begin construction and then drop off the face of the Earth. Visit RGWinter.com to learn what questions you should ask before hiring a contractor.
