Check for immediate hazards
Start with the facts you can verify. Record the condition, timing and desired result before comparing solutions.
Photograph visible damage
Ask each professional to explain the scope, assumptions, exclusions and evidence behind the recommendation.
Prevent further loss safely
Check identity, business information and category-specific credentials. Confirm who performs and supervises the work.
Compare qualified assessments
Keep estimates, photographs, approvals, changes, warranties and completion documents in the property record.
