Homeowner Alert: The "Preferred Vendor" Trap

​If your Panhandle home or commercial space suffers water damage, your insurance company might immediately push you to use their "preferred vendor."
​Here is what they don't always tell you: You have the legal right to choose your own restoration contractor.

​Insurance-preferred companies often work under strict agreements to keep costs down for the insurance company, which can sometimes mean cutting corners on structural drying or mold prevention. In our experience they are almost always not very knowledgeable about how to perform the restoration up to industry standard eventually cutting corners which leave your structure with hidden issues.
​Dri Pro Restoration works for YOU, not the insurance company. We advocate on your behalf, help you navigate the claims process, and use science to dry your home using our comercial-duty, extraction and dehumidification systems.
