What to ask, and why
Will the rebuild be rushed and sloppy?
Ask how the work gets inspected, which permits apply and how the punch list is handled before final payment.
What if materials don't match?
Older trim and tile may be discontinued. Approve samples first, so nothing surprises you when it goes in.
Can upgrades be added?
Yes, usually paid as the difference in cost. Agree on upgrades in writing before work starts.
Who handles insurance supplements?
The contractor usually documents conditions found during repairs, often in Xactimate, for your adjuster, and your insurer decides. Ask who will prepare it.
Does it matter if my address is Littleton but I'm in the county?
Yes. Permits may come from the City of Littleton or from Arapahoe, Jefferson or Douglas County.
