re: Hurricane Ida Recovery

Stay away from public adjusters. They charge more than the insurance company will pay, they are leeches and scum. There are plenty of adjusters/managers etc on this board who can walk you though this process. First thing you need to do is get the mortgage to release funds, call and ask them what they will require. Mortgage companies will put that in escrow to make money and it makes it tough on you. Contractors usually understand.

Good luck man.
