  • Upgrading Windows, Lighting and Fixtures: Adding a new window, skylight or new light fixtures can brighten up your space and create more flow for enhanced natural light.

  • Aesthetics: Color can unify and update a dated space, research color trends and find a style that fits your property. Adding wall art, throw pillows, and other accessories can make the space more welcoming.

Your First Steps After a Disaster

You might feel overwhelmed after a disaster, but we are here to help!

You might have a lot of questions running through your head after disaster strikes. The feeling of being overwhelmed is not uncommon, but we find people are often left asking: what now?

The first step is to have your house evaluated to ensure it is a safe place to return. Safety is always our first priority, and it should be yours too. Fire, water, and mold can all lead to unsafe living conditions—like contaminants in the air or structural damage. If the house has been cleared for re-entry, most people think the obvious next step would be to start cleaning, but it is important to document the damage done to your home and belongings. Using a camera, or your phone, to take pictures of the chaos can help with insurance claims. If your phone or camera did not survive the incident we recommend calling a SERVPRO of East Windsor professional to document the damage so you can begin the process of restoring your home.

An expert at SERVPRO of East Windsor will be able to photograph the damage done to your home on your behalf for purposes of insurance claims. Based on the condition of your home, the SERVPRO of East Windsor serviceperson will advise—based on possible rate increases and the cost to repair—whether involving the insurance company is cost-effective.

We aim to make the restoration as painless as possible; we will help you throughout the entire process. Once the damage has been documented, we can give you a professional assessment of the damage done and the how best to proceed. The only thing you will have to do is submit the claim to your insurance company! An insurance company will often have agreements with—what they refer to as—preferred vendors, but you should know that you have the right to choose which company you trust to rebuild your home.

Disaster is—obviously—never welcomed, but it could give you the opportunity to recreate your house in your own image! SERVPRO of East Windsor is ready to help build your dream home. Turn a negative into a positive by adding the laundry room you always wanted. Restoring your life after a disaster is always difficult, but we hope you find comfort in knowing SERVPRO of East Windsor is here to help!
