The insurance payment does not appear to address the documented scope or cost of covered repairs.

Hurricane Isaias is bringing risks of damaging winds, heavy rain, flooding, storm surge in coastal areas, and possible tornadoes. Property owners should continue monitoring official forecasts, document current property conditions, and complete reasonable storm preparations before conditions deteriorate.
Once conditions are safe, photograph and video the damage before permanent repairs whenever possible, keep receipts and contractor estimates, save insurance communications, and take reasonable steps to prevent further damage. Review our storm damage documentation guide for more detailed guidance.
Before hurricane season, secure your home, review your insurance coverage, document your property, build an emergency kit, and plan for evacuation.
After a hurricane, ensure safety, prevent further damage, document all losses, and contact your insurance company to begin the claims process.
Take photos and videos of all damage before repairs, document personal property losses, and keep records of all affected areas to support your claim.
Insurance companies may deny claims because of policy exclusions, disputes over the cause of damage, insufficient documentation, or disagreements about the scope of covered repairs.
