 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. So very glad we found Loft Drywall & Plaster to assist us in patching a series of complex holes left by uninstalling a security/stereo system in our home. We were set to host a lot of company and with their expedited services option, we were able to get those unsightly holes patched before their arrival, much to our relief! John was wonderful to work with. Our home was very chaotic on the day of service and he was the consummate professional. The work was done fast but most importantly, done well!

Choosing the Right Contractor: Your Rights and Considerations

Do I have to use the contractor my insurance company recommends?

No, you have the right to choose your own contractor. While insurance-recommended contractors may be competent, it's essential to conduct your own research. Some may prioritize cost-cutting over quality, potentially leading to subpar repairs.

Case in Point:

A homeowner once hired an insurance-recommended plumber to fix a leak. The initial repair was inadequate, leading to further damage. When it came time to fix the resulting ceiling damage, the plumber attempted the repair themselves, resulting in unsatisfactory workmanship. The homeowner was left with a poorly repaired ceiling and no recourse, as the contractor lacked a reputation to uphold.

Navigating Insurance Payouts: What If It's Not Enough?

Insurance companies often provide initial payouts based on their assessments, which may not cover the full scope of necessary repairs. We can help by providing a detailed Xactimate "insurance friendly" estimate—a comprehensive, line-itemed quote recognized by insurers—to justify the required funds.

Common Oversights in Insurance Assessments:

Underestimating the cost of materials like plaster versus drywall.
Failing to account for full-room painting to ensure color consistency.
Overlooking the higher costs associated with stain-grade trim compared to paint-grade.

By identifying these and other discrepancies, we can advocate for a more accurate and fair insurance payout.

Unsure who to trust, what to do next,
or how much this will cost you?

Not all damages warrant an insurance claim. We will usually advise our customers based on the following criteria:

Cost Threshold: If repair costs exceed $2,500, it may be worth considering a claim.
Cause of Damage: insurance companies won't usually cover things that are deemed wearing tear. So knowing the cause of the- damage is important.
Policy Exclusions: Ensure the damage isn't excluded from your policy coverage.

Important: Frequent claims can lead to increased premiums or policy cancellations. Even initiating a claim without a payout can be recorded and impact your insurance history.
