## Resource

In this episode of Contractor Talk, Richie Kidwell dives into the latest updates surrounding Florida’s property insurance landscape. From managed repair programs and claim delays to denials and recent legislative changes, he breaks down what contractors and homeowners need to know. He also shares practical guidance on documenting property conditions, filing supplemental Hurricane Milton claims, using contractor estimates effectively, and when it may be time to involve a public adjuster or attorney. Joined by Connor Gray of Suncoast Softwash, the conversation shifts to exterior home maintenance and the issues that often surface after an HOA notice. They cover soft washing, roof cleaning, driveway and sidewalk cleaning, window cleaning, and paver sealing. #podcast #contractortalk #softwashing #paversealing #homemaintenance #floridahomes
