WHY YOU SHOULD HIRE COAST CONSTRUCTION
  1. Quality, Value, and Service: These are the key components of any construction project, and our company delivers the best of all three.
  2. Turn-Key Projects: We handle everything beginning to end, from a detailed scope of repairs to a pristine final cleaning of the finished project.
  3. Our Experience: Damage repair is a niche market, and our extensive experience sets us apart from other contractors.
  4. We Are Specialists: We focus almost exclusively on fire and other damage repair construction projects. We are not involved in any other business that might divert our attention from your job.
  5. One-Stop Services: Although construction work is our specialty and the only part of repair work we handle directly, we coordinate, subcontract and manage all necessary activities for you. We work with the best vendors in all related fields.
  6. We Understand The Insurance Industry's Business Model: Yes there is one, and not very many people understand it. But we do.
  7. We Work For You, Not Your Insurance Company: But we do it in a fair, even-handed, diplomatic way without being adversarial with your insurance company, striking the proper balance between advocacy, trust, and cooperation.
  8. Claims Adjuster Interaction: We work with your adjuster to handle all aspects of your repair project.
  9. Insurance Companies Trust Us: We have a history of nearly three decades in this business and we have the respect of the industry. This makes us uniquely successful in our dealings with insurance companies.
  10. We Use The Industry Standard Estimating Software: We understand it intimately, utilize it exceptionally well, and know how to use the tools available and tricks of the trade to your best advantage.
  11. Estimating Software Formatting: This is a little-known but important component of the computerized estimating process, and we know how to use it to achieve the best results for you.
  12. Fast Settlements: We are able to reach an agreed cost to repair very quickly with your insurance company so that repairs to your property can begin as quickly as possible. (This process can take months if not handled correctly).
  13. We Help You Avoid Pitfalls: And make no mistake, there are many. Lack of experience and improper handling of aspects of your paperwork and job can have serious consequences.
  14. Adjusting Experience: Our staff has worked within the insurance industry and knows the inner-workings of the business.
  15. Knowledge Of Insurance Coverages And Policy Provisions: This knowledge and experience is invaluable in the effective handling of your project and dealing with your insurance company in order to safeguard your interest and maximize your benefits.
  16. Expert Experience: Our staff has extensive experience in specialized insurance consulting, arbitrations, mediations, and court testimony. This experience provides considerable insight into the inner-workings of the claims and repair processes.
  17. Financial Resources: We have the ability to fund large projects while waiting for insurance company and mortgage company payments. (These payment delays can be extraordinarily long. This is one of the pitfalls we help you avoid).
  18. We Handle The Mortgage Company Process: We schedule, monitor, and follow-up on needed inspections, payments, and the interactions between your insurance company and your mortgage company. (This process takes considerable time). You control all of the funds and all of the payments.
  19. We Eliminate Your Financial Responsibility: We structure our contract so that you do not need to pay us until your insurance company pays you and the bank releases the payments.
  20. We Handle Separate Coverages: These are additional components of your policy, claim and repairs that need to be properly developed and submitted. These include additional amounts of insurance, additional structures, landscaping, personal property moving and hauling, etc.
  21. We Handle The Building Ordinance Claim: This has become a very large component of damage repairs since new codes went into effect in 2009. We handle the development, compilation, submission and negotiation of all of this work (provided for under separate coverage). This is an extremely complicated and technical task, and has to be done properly and meticulously in order for you to be fully compensated for all necessary work.
  22. Code Claim/Coverage Limit Interface: We handle your building ordinance claim so as to safeguard your coverage limits and to provide the most benefit to you from this coverage. This is, again, an area that requires extensive knowledge and experience to handle properly, and is an area of potential problems if not handled correctly.
  23. We Minimize Potential Code Coverage Overruns: We administer your project so as to best avoid potential pitfalls in this area while optimizing inclusion of work that benefits you.
  24. We Handle Your Replacement Cost Claim: This is another aspect of your claim that needs to be properly documented, submitted and negotiated.
  25. We Handle Supplements: Yet another part of the process that needs to be documented, compiled, submitted and negotiated.
  26. We Do Drawings In-House: This enables us to produce drawings for your project very quickly and inexpensively. (And producing drawings inexpensively might leave more of your coverage available for repair work).
  27. We Control The Drawings: This is very important to ensure that the submission for the building permit (based on the drawings) achieves the desired end and serves your interest best. (This is another area of potential pitfalls).
  28. We Handle The Engineering: We have decades-long relationships with a handful of exceptionally good, fast engineers that give us priority service, are very reasonably priced, and work within our systems so that their drawings facilitate quick, effective and desirable end results for you.
  29. You Benefit From Fast And Reasonable Engineering And Drafting Costs: It's true that your insurance company pays these fees, but excessive fees unnecessarily consume your coverage limits. And producing these documents quickly gets your repairs moving that much faster.
  30. We Handle The Permitting Process: We know the intricacies of permit application submissions for this kind of work, and how to get permits issued as fast as possible. We have a long history with each and every building department in Alameda and Contra Costa Counties: they know us and trust us.
  31. We Handle Design: We provide complete in-house design services using 3-D color computerized design software to produce beautiful work for you. Every photograph on our website is an example of the tremendous talent and ability of our designers.
  32. We Work With You On Changes: We are very open to integrating remodeling and changes into your project. (Many of our competitors resist this because of the administration time and cost involved). Take a look at the descriptions and photos in our reference list (on our website) to see the huge transformations we are able to make for our customers-almost always with no out-of-pocket expense on their part.
  33. We Have Excellent Project Managers: They are organized, experienced, and a pleasure to work with.
  34. We Have Excellent Estimators: Our estimators remain available throughout the construction process and work with the project managers to effect fast, efficient construction and to handle code claims, supplements, design changes and insurance company issues.
  35. We Have Excellent Field Staff: Our staff foremen, carpenters, and painters are exceptionally capable, talented, and experienced craftsmen who are masters of their trades. Every photograph on our website is a testament to their ability and the quality of their workmanship.
  36. Our Foremen Know Our Systems: All of our field staff are conversant with and experienced in the specialized type of work we do and know how to work effectively with the scopes of work created with our estimating software.
  37. Building Inspectors Like Us: Because of our long history working in every municipality in Alameda and Contra Costa Counties, and having done thousands of jobs here, we know the building inspectors and they know us. They know that our work is good, up to code, and as a result we are able to make your project go smoothly and quickly.
  38. We Have Excellent Subcontractors: We have decades-long relationships with our subcontractors, we get preferential treatment from them, and we demand from them the utmost in quality and service. We get it, and so will you.
  39. Our Subcontractors Know Our Systems: Like our field staff, our subcontractors understand the inner-workings of the business we are in. They understand code issues, the intricacies of our computerized estimating system, etc.
  40. Our Low Overhead Means Better Value For You: Unlike virtually all of our competitors, we have no branch offices, no franchise fees, no corporate overseers, no new staff, and no related businesses.
  41. We Are Not Growing: We are the perfect size, we do not need to fund growth.
  42. We Don't Pay Rent: We own our own building. This lowers our overhead and we pass the savings along to you.
  43. Limited Territory: We only work in Alameda and Contra Costa Counties. Our attention is not diverted by projects that are too far away to be administered effectively.
  44. We Are Trusted By Local Fire Departments: We are on the Contra Costa County and San Ramon Valley Fire Department board-up rotation lists, and obtain referrals for board-ups from other local fire departments as well. We provide 24/7/365 emergency response services to fire departments, individuals, businesses, and insurance companies.
  45. We Have A Very High Consumer Rating: A 93% recommendation rate with nearly 50% of respondents rating us a perfect "10."
  46. Mutual Benefits: We strongly believe that every business transaction needs to be of equal benefit to both parties. We are confident that we will bring tremendous value to your project ensuring maximum benefit to you. We are bold enough to say that you cannot do better than to hire Coast Construction.
