Case Study: General Restoration – Service Area
Customer Problem

Initially, there was some confusion about the specific address of the impacted property, but it was quickly clarified to be 3508, not 3505. The primary concern involved the financial implications of handling the restoration work, as the insurance deductible had increased significantly.
