No. Under Tennessee law, you have the absolute right to choose your own restoration contractor. Your insurance company can recommend vendors, but they cannot require you to use them or reduce your claim for choosing someone else. This is one of the most important rights homeowners have.
Call a restoration company first. Your insurance policy requires you to mitigate further damage, and every hour of delay makes water damage worse. Resto Experts can begin emergency work immediately, document everything professionally, and then help you file the claim with proper documentation.
It depends on your carrier and claims history, but one legitimate water damage claim typically does not cause a significant rate increase. Not filing a claim and letting damage worsen will cost you far more in the long run. We help you document everything to support the strongest possible claim.
Insurance denials can often be appealed. Common denial reasons include delayed reporting, insufficient documentation, or maintenance-related exclusions. Resto Experts provides professional documentation from day one and can help you understand your policy, gather supporting evidence, and work through the appeals process.
