Choosing a Restoration Vendor for Tropical Storms and Hurricanes

11/2/2021 (Permalink)

Following Hurricane Sally, we along with our franchise partners performed several large loss restoration projects along the Alabama Gulf Coast.

We frequently receive questions from clients who manage or on the board of condominium associations about how they can be prepared for tropical storms and hurricanes in order to make the restoration process as seamless and easy as possible. 

While each condominium association is unique, there are two tips that apply to all associations, no matter the association's location or budget.

TIPS

1. Choose your restoration vendor ahead of time.
   • Resources are always limited after a hurricane or major disaster. By choosing your vendor ahead of time, you give your vendor the opportunity to allocate resources for your building(s) in the event of a damage. 
2. Allow your vendor to discuss the restoration process with key board members.
   • Educating your board and staff beforehand will provide them with confidence and knowledge, and setup realistic expectations of the standards and practices of the insurance restoration process following a large loss. A hurricane is unlikely to happen every year, and with the changing of board members, it would be a good practice to invite your vendor to your annual meeting in order to keep the current board educated.
