Helping a homeowner after storm damage? Know where to draw the line.

Contractors play an important role in helping property owners recover after a storm. But there's a difference between explaining the damage you've identified and interpreting an insurance policy or negotiating a claim.

Understanding those boundaries helps protect your business and the homeowners who depend on you.

At Godbey Giardina Law Group, we believe contractors and legal professionals each have an important role in the recovery process.

When insurance disputes arise, our team is here to help property owners understand their legal options.

Public adjusters and contractors play an important role in helping property owners recover after a loss.

But when an insurance claim becomes complicated, understanding where their responsibilities end and legal representation begins is essential.

At Godbey Giardina Law Group, we recognize the value these professionals bring to the claims process. When legal challenges arise, our team works alongside them to help protect policyholders' rights and keep the recovery process moving forward.

As we continue to monitor the impacts of the recent hurricane in Florida, our thoughts remain with the families, businesses, and communities affected by the storm.

At Godbey Giardina Law Group, we also want to remind everyone that hurricane season is not over. Tropical systems continue to circulate in the Atlantic, and conditions can change quickly.

Now is the time to remain vigilant, review your emergency plans, and ensure your family and property are prepared should another storm threaten our communities.

We encourage everyone across the Gulf Coast and Florida to stay informed through trusted sources, including the National Hurricane Center and local emergency management officials.

For those already impacted by the recent hurricane, please prioritize your safety, document any property damage when it is safe to do so, and keep records of communications with your insurance company.

Preparation today can make all the difference tomorrow.

Stay safe and stay informed.

Hurricane Isaias | Gulf Coast Weather Update

With Hurricane Isaias approaching the Gulf Coast, residents across Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida should take time to prepare for potential severe weather.

Before the storm arrives, we encourage property owners to:

• Take photos and videos documenting the current condition of their property, including roofs, windows, and exterior structures.
• Review their insurance policies to understand coverage, deductibles, and exclusions.
• Secure outdoor belongings and take reasonable precautions to protect their property.
• Keep insurance documents and other important records in a safe, accessible location.
• Monitor updates from the National Hurricane Center and follow guidance from local officials.

If your property sustains damage, prioritize your safety, document the damage when it is safe to do so, and notify your insurance carrier promptly.

Contractors: What do you tell a homeowner when your estimate is significantly higher than the insurance estimate?

Start with what you know.

Show them what you found. Explain why each repair is necessary. Make your scope detailed enough that someone who was never at the property can understand exactly what needs to be done—and why.

You don’t need to interpret policy language or explain what insurance should or shouldn’t cover.

Document the damage. Explain the repairs. Stay within your expertise.

If that becomes an issue with keeping your project moving forward, that’s when our team gets involved.

We’re keeping a close eye on the developing system in the Gulf.

Now is the time to prepare—not panic. Take a few minutes to document the current condition of your property, secure anything outside that could become damaged, and make sure you have a copy of your insurance policy readily available.

If this system impacts our area and your home or business suffers damage, document everything before beginning repairs whenever it is safe to do so.

Stay weather-aware, follow updates from local officials, and most importantly, stay safe.
