Experiencing a hurricane can be frightening and create a lot of anxiety. Picking up the pieces, dealing with your insurance and cleaning up after having home damage can be frustrating. Getting back to normalcy as soon as possible is the best advice we recommend to our customers. As a Houston remodeling company, here are 3 tips that may help you back to your normal day to day.

1. Get a notebook with pockets and a pad to keep all your insurance information, repairs and estimates readily available. You’ll be referring to your notebook more than you know when talking with your contractor about home repairs and your insurance company.

2. Walk each room in your home and make a list of hurricane damaged items. It’s best to label your items by room to help keep things organized and detailed.

3. Keep your list separate for furniture, personal items, clothes and home repairs. For example, when taking inventory in your living room; make a list for damaged furniture, draperies, pictures etc. Make another list for home repairs like sheetrock, painting, flooring, roofing and siding and so on. Utilizing these simple tips will help keep you organized when talking with your Texas home repair contractor and your insurance agent.
