They do not have to pay to replace the entire floor in LA. They only have to pay for the damaged area even if the color does not match. Louisiana has no matching law for insurance.

Even if they still make his flooring it will not be the same dye lot and there will be color variations.

I do agree that if the flooring is very damaged he should file a claim. I don't think he should call Servpro as they have a history of overcharging and getting people's insurance cancelled. They employ people to maximize the billing even for services they do not complete. Ask all the lawyers in Lake Charles that have had to sue the crap out of Servpro after the hurricanes.

There are plenty of local licensed remediation companies that are way more reputable.

This is what I'm trying to find. I think enough people have chimed in on servepro to make me avoid them, just trying to find someone else who know what they're doing and is fair.

I just looked at my policy and it's a 1k deductible but the most they'll pay for (fungi and wet rot) is 5k

Stout, do you know of any mold kits that give instant results with regard to if it's toxic or harmless mold? The one I saw on Home Depot's site says you have to mail samples off and wait for them to analyze it.

He has engineered wood floor. Super easy to match if it's fairly new. It's not true wood where they have to stain real wood.
