These guides are written for homeowners, not adjusters or contractors. They describe how things usually go in Western Washington; your own loss, policy and house decide the specifics, and dispatch will give you a straight answer about your situation any hour of the day.

FAQ

Questions homeowners ask us

Why do fire rebuilds take so long?

Because they run through four gates in sequence: insurer scope approval, permits and engineering, materials, and inspections. The timeline guide shows typical durations for each and where weeks are usually lost.

Can I use these guides if another company did the cleanup?

Yes. The rebuild guides apply regardless of who did the mitigation. Bring the mitigation report and the approved scope to the first meeting.
