Problem

A faulty chimney flue sent a spark into Harvey’s attic, and the fire spread fast, ripping through the home. By the time crews had doused the flames, the damage topped $1.2 million. Harvey’s once safe, comfortable house was left unlivable and unrecognizable.

Solution

When choosing a contractor, Harvey turned to RA Hyman on the recommendation of a trusted friend in the construction industry. The RA Hyman team rebuilt the damaged areas while preserving the home’s original layout.

Along the way, we updated walls, flooring, and systems to meet modern building standards. These upgrades turned a devastating fire into an opportunity to bring the home up to code and up to date.

RA Hyman also stepped in on the insurance front, handling communication directly with the provider. Every expense was covered, allowing Harvey to focus on his family instead of the paperwork.

When delays hit the county building permits, the team adjusted workflows to maintain momentum and deliver on the promised timeline. “It was very difficult to be out of our home,” Harvey recalls. “Thankfully, the RA Hyman team got us back int he with the most expeditious time frame — and with the house looking like new!”

“Anthony was a pleasure to work with. He was always pleasant and positive and got back to us within a day.”

Outcome

The million-dollar loss culminated in the relief of a restored home, a seamless insurance process, and a family back in their rightful space. For Harvey, it wasn’t just about the reconstruction. It was about having a contractor who fought through every delay to get his family back where they belong.
