Case Study: Oakland Hills Brown Shingle

What do you do when you’re on vacation and something catches fire in the living room and the whole house is infested with smoke? You call your insurer, place a claim, and find a good contractor. Coast took this repair on and (as we do with almost all of our projects) managed the engineering drawings required to apply for a permit, managed the permit application through to approval, and then used the building permit to rebuild the interior and exterior. The insurer can’t repair just one side of the house, so in this case, we successfully negotiated with the insurer to cover a complete reskin of the house. If it matched all around before the fire, it ought to match after, and this means that the insurer doesn’t get to pay only for a crazy-quilt partial repair, all walls should match, and here they do!
