Disaster to Recovery: Navigating Window and Door Damage So You Can Cut Through the Confusion, Document the Damage, and Resolve the Claim

Will My Windows and Doors Ever Get Fixed?

The most controversial part of an insurance claim is not the roof. Rather, it’s windows and doors. There’s a wide disparity between property owners and insurance companies about what constitutes damage and what an appropriate repair looks like. Both sides want a fast resolution of the claim, but sadly, this rarely happens.

Paul Beers is a leading expert with glazing systems, facades, water leakage, wind mitigation, and hurricane damage. He was instrumental in the development and implementation of stronger building codes and missile impact tests after Hurricane Andrew hit Dade County, Florida, in 1992 and continues to work with post-hurricane recoveries.

His proven process, The Disaster to Recovery Roadmap™, has assisted clients starting with the pre-inspection, assessing the damage done by the storm, and helping them get a fair resolution.

In this book, you will discover how to:

• Get the proper pre-inspection and assessment, so you can cut through the confusion
• Document the damage, so you can gain clarity with the best plan to move forward effectively
• Resolve the claim, so you can have peace of mind and enjoy life again
