When a major storm hits your area ABA Customs has the skilled capabilities and technical knowledge to have the situation under control. So here is a check list to help you make the right decisions after the storm:
- When your home is hit by hail, high winds, and/or severe storm, the first thing is to make sure you and your family are safe.
- Next you should check on your neighbors and family in surrounding area. If you or anyone needs medical attention should get help for them.
- Once you know everyone is safe you should contact someone you can trust who will guide you through the tough process. We suggest contacting a company like us who you trust. At ABA Customs, we only advise you as our client, we don't sign and run, then charge your insurance the highest possible fees.

- A thorough inspection to document all damage legit damage, both property and personal property.
- Document and take numerous pictures of this legit damage. You do not want to be persuaded to turn in damaged goods from a previous issue, only of current claim. You do not want to get caught turning in 20 year old blanket with missing stitched edging. When there are more important and legit items. Stay focused..
- Get a claim number and a set date when an insurance adjuster will be able to inspect. Ask for a supervisor and not a sub contracted adjuster, this will save you in the long run, if any issues.
- Storage of your items, damaged need a separate location so your good items do not become contaminated. Your consultant will advise you of cost effective ways to save time and money.
Once you have chosen a reputable and trust worthy contractor/consultant to assist with the situation. ABA Customs will walk you thru all of the steps needed without back peddling. If you skip a step with the insurance claim it could cost you time and extra expenses. You need someone that is on your side through the difficult process with the insurance carrier.
The insurance carrier will not look out for your best interest, they only want to pay as little as possible for any claim. That unfortunately, is the way the insurance business is ran.
ABA Customs has the experience and knowledge to assist with all of these concerns to help smooth out the bumps in the road. ABA Customs does not claim to be an adjuster, but a loss consultant.
With our restoration services we only charge your insurance carrier!
For example if you have flood and water damage:
We will work for you not your insurance carrier... We state this because a lot of times insurance carriers will only pay to dry your property to the minimum of liability. At ABA Customs, we will dry until we determine it is slightly drier than the normal relative humidity. We will do all of the work that is necessary to secure and protect your property and we will worry about getting paid by the insurance company, not you paying us. We believe you have gone through enough hassles and you do not need any more headaches.
We will always consult with you, the property owner always makes the final decisions. You the property owner are truly the boss...
