Local knowledge
Why Mount Dora homes see what they see.
Mount Dora's historic district is genuinely old by Florida standards, full of late-1800s and early-1900s wood-frame homes on the hills above Lake Dora. A lot of them are raised on brick piers over a crawl space rather than poured on a slab, so water gets under the floor and works on joists and subfloor out of sight. Old growth heart pine is worth saving, and it is worth not tearing out more of it than you have to.
The insurance question
Worried insurance will not cover it? That is the part we handle.
Most companies open your house up first and hand you a bill if the claim gets denied. We do it backwards on purpose. One licensed company cleans up, rebuilds, and deals with the adjuster for you.
“Being this careful has cost us work. I am fine with that.”
With usHow we do it
- Nothing comes out until we know who is paying for it.
- You get the cash price up front, before the claim.
- We lay out every outcome, including if insurance pays nothing.
- We run the claim end to end, and only start once you are covered.
Local questions
Restoration in Mount Dora, answered.
Yes, and they need a careful hand. Old wood frame on piers holds water where you cannot see it, and the material is worth preserving rather than gutting.
Many of the older ones do. That changes where we look first and how the structure has to be dried, because the damage is usually under the floor rather than in the room.
Talk to the owner, not a call center.
Water or fire emergency, or a musty smell you cannot place. Either way, the person who answers is the person who does the work.
