Insurance/Recovery Tip:
If you live in an Home Owners Association (HOA) you might find out that they have repair work to do because of the fire and they might have to charge you for the repair through an assessment or an extra, temporary fee above and beyond your regular home owners association fees. Some policies have coverage for assessments, so check your policy for this coverage. If you're having a hard time reading your policy, please call for our assistance! 888-216-8264
