A: Well, that is always an option, but new construction is very different from reconstruction. Did you know that it can cost more to replace a damaged home than to build a new one. There is a step by step process involved in reconstruction that requires trained and knowledgeable professionals. The reconstruction process involves dealing with demolition, hazardous materials, contents, smoke damage and other things that new construction companies are unfamiliar with. Way Construction Services “specializes” in reconstruction.

 

A: In the case where additional repairs are necessary, the Way Construction Services Sales Estimator assigned to your project will complete a supplement and submit it to your insurance representative for approval before additional work begins.

 

A: For additional estimates for work outside of the agreed upon scope, you should notify your project superintendent so they can facilitate the process to provide you with an estimate or change order for additional work. In this situation, the home owner is directly responsible for payment according to the change order specifications.

Your insurance policy likely includes a mortgagee clause which specifies how to proceed.
