Additional Recommended FAQs

Can I decide to demolish and rebuild my home rather than restore it after storm damage?

As your property, you have the option to decide that you would rather tear down what remains of your house and rebuild it. However, this is typically much more expensive than storm damage restoration. Insurance may not cover the costs of demolition and rebuilding except under specific circumstances.
