"Simply put, hiring Insurance Claims Specialist, LLC was one of the most important decisions we made in getting our roof damage resolved. We are responsible homeowners with a strong track record of maintaining our house and property, as well as making sure we have proper insurance coverage. But when weather damaged our roof and our insurance provider denied our claim, we found ourselves in uncharted territory. The process with the insurance provider was daunting, confusing, lengthy, stressful, and not transparent. We were kept at arms length and passed through multiple reviewers. They sent a third-party engineer who showed up unannounced, spent very little time inspecting the damage, and then submitted a report that had numerous factual errors. That report then became a baseline for the insurance company! We were buried in red tape and going in circles. Wayne was able to quickly step in and, using his extensive expertise and knowledge of the regulations and insurance process, got right to the point. As a respected, experienced adjuster, his analysis and steadfast conclusions carried weight. In what could have been a disputed claim that may have taken years to resolve, he cut through the red tape and was able to resolve the matter in our favor within months. In a world where home owners are kept at arms length and treated with skepticism, Wayne was treated with respect as a knowledgeable expert whose views were grounded in experience. When he spoke, people listened. Wayne was very candid and responsive to us. He kept us out of the process details and acted as our representative, while keeping us appropriately informed. He made the process much less stressful! He got the right people to listen and move forward with the right decision. Again, one of the best decisions we’ve made. We highly recommend Insurance Claims Specialist, LLC without reservation."

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

How long it takes to build a log cabin depends on a variety of factors, including its size and design, and whether or not you have to clear the land. Construction can take a few weeks for a prefab log cabin on an established site, but up to eight or nine months for a custom cabin on undeveloped land. In comparison, the timeline to build a house is typically four to 12 months.

The primary reason homes have crawl spaces is so the foundation can reach down below the frost line to avoid dangerous soil movement and structural damage when the ground freezes. They’re more popular in colder climates where the ground freezes down to a few feet, and slabs are most popular in warmer areas where there is no frost line. Crawl spaces also provide a space for utility lines to run where they’re at less of a risk of freezing.

Custom homes can take an average of 18 months to build, mainly due to the lengthy design process, and most projects take somewhere between 12 and 24 months. When you work with the right custom home builders near you, they can help you map the road ahead and understand what can speed up or delay the timeline. Choosing locally available materials, for example, can speed things up without losing that customized touch.

No, a structural engineer is not the same as a builder. A structural engineer is an expert in all things related to the structural integrity of a building. The structural engineer is responsible for calculating the correct materials in terms of load-bearing capacity and overall structural safety. Structural engineers do not perform the actual building of the house or other structures. Rather, the builder executes the plans and designs specified by the structural engineer.

A green home is one that focuses on conservation, with the goal often being net-zero carbon emissions and self-sustainability. It will often include some kind of self-generation equipment, like solar panels or a small wind turbine, high-efficiency electrical components and mechanicals, and high-quality insulation and air sealing to reduce the loss of conditioned air. Many green homes also include xeriscaping or rainwater collection to cut down on drainage and water consumption.
