FAQ
What if water damage is already present?
Interior damage is modeled as a separate add-on and should be added before comparing contractor quotes.
How much does emergency response add?
Emergency multiplier reflects temporary mitigation, weekend labor pressure, and expedited dispatch behavior.
Is this final repair quote?
No. Use this range as planning guidance before inspections and final contractor scope calls.
