“We had some extensive water damage to our back door entry way during the rainfall caused by Hurricane Helene. Unsure of what was going on, we called Monarch Restoration to investigate.
They were able to identify the cause of the problem, as well as other damage that had been caused in the ceiling and walls in our basement.
Monarch was fast and efficient in getting repairs done, and also was able to answer the many questions surrounding the process. Austin dealt directly with insurance for me and was in constant communication with everything that was going on through the entire process. This was reassuring for me during this troublesome time. “ – C.B

We Know You Have Questions—Here Are the Most Common Ones
Will my damage be covered by insurance?
Storm damage from natural disasters is typically not covered under standard policies and requires separate insurance. We can review your situation and help you determine what your policy may cover.
Will the cost of repairs be more than my deductible?
If the repair costs exceed your deductible, your insurance should cover the difference. Monarch Restoration provides a no obligation damage assessment to help you understand your expected costs before you file a claim.
How long should I wait to file a claim?
File a claim as soon as possible! Delaying the process could lead to further damage and potential claim denials from your insurance provider. Insurance companies expect prompt action to prevent additional losses, so it’s crucial to start the claim process immediately.
Can I choose my own contractor and restoration company?
Yes! You are not required to use the contractor your insurance company recommends. You have the right to choose Monarch Restoration for your water damage repair and restoration. We work with all major insurance providers and ensure your home or business is restored to pre-loss condition as quickly as possible.
What documentation should I gather for my claim?
Proper documentation can speed up your claim approval and help you get the maximum coverage possible. Before filing, you should:
- Take clear photos and videos of all water damage
- Keep records of repair estimates, invoices, and communications
- List damaged personal belongings and their estimated value
- Get a professional damage assessment (Monarch Restoration will help you)
