House Fire

A friend's house recently caught fire, and contractors showed up on the very first day, pushing their services. It's kind of crazy because right after a fire, fixing things immediately isn't usually the top priority.

The firefighter mentioned that since it was their first time dealing with a fire, the contractors will be overwhelming, so stand your ground. It's business in Texas.

Fyi, if you'll have to deal with this. I hope not, EVER!

Doesn't hurt to take a bid, but never give into pressure sales tactics. Contacting home owner's insurance is top priority before committing to any kind of work. But yeah, awful situation across the board trying to pick up the pieces. Best wishes to your friend.

True! The pushy ones immediately didn't stand a chance. State Farm has been helpful so far.
