Additional Services
Help with Your Insurance Claim
Negotiating an insurance claim is not for the faint of heart; it can be confusing, time consuming, and a lengthy process for the novice. We help handle the paperwork so you don’t have to. Our project managers work directly with your insurance adjuster to document losses, uncover hidden damage, and ensure you receive every dollar you’re entitled to.
Relocation Services
If the damage is so severe that occupancy of the space is not feasible, Appleseed Building will work with your insurance company to help you relocate to temporary housing or space for operation of your business while repairs are being made.
What Can Be Saved—and How We Decide
Appleseed Building will work with your insurance adjuster to evaluate the care of your personal items using clear, thoughtful criteria:
- Actual cash value vs. replacement cost
- Exposure to smoke, heat, or water
- Loss of use, function, or value
- Decreased lifespan of the item
- Sentimental worth
We’re committed to helping you recover more than just your structure. We restore the items that hold meaning, too.
Reclaim Your Space, Reclaim Your Peace of Mind
You didn’t ask for this, but you don’t have to handle it alone. With Appleseed Building, you get restoration experts who care about getting your home—and your life—back to normal.
