Insurance Restoration & Repairs

Expert navigation of the insurance claim process paired with high-quality, code-compliant reconstruction.

Our Philosophy

We speak the language of insurance. We believe that a homeowner shouldn't have to be a claims expert just to get their house back. We act as your advocate and technical partner, providing the detailed estimates and data that adjusters need to approve your repairs quickly and fairly.

FAQs

Everything you need to know before we begin. Clear answers for a seamless transformation
Do I have to use the contractor my insurance company recommends?
No; in Ontario, you have the legal right to choose any qualified contractor you trust to perform the repairs.
What is a "Deductible" and when do I pay it?
The deductible is the portion of the claim you are responsible for; it is typically paid to the contractor at the start of the project.
What if the insurance estimate is lower than your quote?
We submit "Supplements"—detailed evidence and photos showing why additional work or costs are necessary to restore your home correctly.
Can I upgrade my kitchen while you are doing insurance repairs?
Yes; many clients choose to pay a "change order" fee to upgrade materials or layouts while the insurance covers the base repair cost.
How does the insurance company pay for the work?
Typically, they issue a check in the name of both the homeowner and the contractor, or they pay the contractor directly upon your sign-off.
Will my insurance premiums go up if I make a claim?
This depends on your provider and the cause of the loss; we recommend discussing this with your insurance broker.
