## Resource

In this episode of Contractor Talk, Richie Kidwell and co-host Property Damage Attorney Hans Kennon welcome Bill Riley of Restoration Advisors to discuss how Florida homeowners can navigate insurance claims after hurricanes, fire, and flood losses. Bill shares how Restoration Advisors helps homeowners facing denied or under-deductible claims, confusing estimates, and insurance companies that close claims before all damages are addressed. The conversation covers Hurricane Milton claims, Citizens Insurance, flood-related coverage issues, and common mistakes homeowners can make after a loss. They also break down important insurance and legal deadlines and what homeowners should know when seeking guidance after a property loss.
