Estimating for Insurance rebuilding
When facing rebuilding, filing an insurance claim is one of the first steps that is needed.
An accurate rebuild estimate is likely required by the carrier and it is vital to conduct a comprehensive replacement cost evaluation. A rebuild estimate should take into account the cost of building code upgrades, actual current cost to rebuild the home and additional fees for associated soft costs of rebuilding.
If desired, Christopherson Builders will provide this service for our customers at a cost of $2,500.
