Showalter Construction & Restoration

My spouse and I were in disbelief and shock from all of the destruction the storm had brought our region and our home. Recognizing that our home had suffered extensive water damage to virtually every room of the home because of the 155+ mph winds blowing rain through the massive hole in the roof, I knew it'd only be a matter of time before the damage would get worse when the mold started to grow.
Robert called me Friday to inform me that he and his teams would be heading up Monday (the day I'm writing this) to start repairs to my home and many other people in the region. I'm anxiously awaiting their arrival. Has come true. I anticipate the repairs.
Because I had already heard of stories of other people being cared for by this time I had been under a lot of stress and suspicious of anybody I did not know.
Robert could tell I was quite suspicious, but he understood why somebody in my position is. He took the time to explain me the procedure and answered all of my questions. I had been hoping to hire him to perform both our rebuild as well as our water mitigation in the future, but he informed me that they were only here to the mitigations. I went ahead and hired him because I had been impressed by his knowledge, professionalism, and honesty.
A couple days after his team was at my home removing everything which was damaged from the water doing there job, and putting up dehumidifiers to remove any residual moisture, followed by applying a mould spores substance into the wood. About a week after they were finished, and the mitigation crew's leader gave me a complete report of what they had done, and answered all of my questions for me. I was quite happy knowing that I would not need to be concerned about mold growing but stressed and worried because I had been going to need to go through the trying process of finding a contractor I could expect to do the repairs.
Fast forward and I receive an email telling me that Showalter Construction had determined to perform a limited number of rebuilds and asked me if I was interested in hiring them to perform mine. I had been and I set up a meeting. Again Robert Showalter himself showed up to speak to me and answer my questions. He was quite open and honest. He make promises to me that he wasn't convinced he could maintain or did not sugarcoat anything. He was really up front in telling me that it might be a long process getting all the ducks in a row to reach the point of starting repairs on the home, and he had been right, but that was because my insurance company has been dragging their feet without a error for Showalter.
I started looking for somebody that could get our home dried out before damage was caused in carpet and the drywall. During my search, the title Showalter Construction and Restoration kept coming up as highly rated. I set up a meeting and gave their office a call. A couple days after the company's owner, Robert showed up in my doorway.
Our home suffered extensive damage as it ripped off a part of our roof decking off, leaving the exposed to rain and wind from what has now been designated as a category 5 storm. The third most powerful to strike the U.S. in recorded history.

Showalter Construction & Restoration was going above-and-beyond in assisting my parents. They are insured and licensed to accomplish every task, and have gained the confidence and trust of everybody in our family.
Showalter and his team made a fantastic effort to communicate and supply rational and affordable expectations. The entire team are a few. Their team worked diligently competently & that the procedure might be faster than previously envisioned, which is excellent since the earlier the house is repaired the better!
As my parents said,"We're glad we chose Showalter care of our property!"
Other businesses have been ambiguous or obscure with their procedure and pricing, along with documents now reveal many of the companies were just a shady practice wanting to steal people's money. The Showalter Team is transparent; he had been honest every step of the way, and everything they conveyed was proven accurate.
Robert took the time to explain the whole claims process from start to finish and the way his services are applied within that procedure, along with the details which are seldom discussed such as the stress my parents should expect to face occasionally. We knew the concept of every step did he discuss dollars. Robert wasn't pushy, rather he had been realistic together with this project's payment as another step in the procedure. His goal was obvious; to educate my parents and make sure comfort and that their trust with the procedure irrespective of whomever did the work. Following a traumatic event such as this hurricane, Robert Showalter's assessment proved to be curative for my parents just as his work is efficient.
Restoration and Expecting Showalter Construction has been the best thing that our family might have done after a traumatic event. They're skillful, thorough, and also make customer care paramount!
We did searches considering price, location, reviews, et cetera, and Showalter was close to the top of every hunt. We contacted a few companies for quotes to perform dry-out / saturation mitigation, demo, roof work, and renovation, and Showalter was the sole firm who had all the right credentialsthat could be available in a reasonable time, and had been clear about their techniques and constraints. Robert came a few days later we called to assess the damage to property & the house. We were impressed by him communicating consistently and answering ALL our queries. He made my parents feel like they were his sole concern, Although he had other clients.

If you have read this far, you're probably wondering how we had been treated and exactly what happened with Showalter. I found Showalter construction through a list of approved contractors that our town had vetted. I made a decision to meet with Robert, the owner. Robert explained that he was military and ensured he had our best interests in mind. You have to keep in mind the Showalter building came at a very vulnerable time in our own lives into our lives. Not only had I arrived to another from 1 war zone, I had no clue how to move, who to trust, as well as what step was next.
So far, I've Facetime'd with Robert multiple occasions while he's been in the home. Since I am no longer found in the field due to a move mandated by the military, Robert has went to make sure every step was completed meticulously and with the maximum standard. Since they are just another website he does not treat houses, he treats them as if they are his.
In the end, since you are in a similar scenario to what I had been, if you are searching for a contractor, stop! You will not find a better company than Showalter Construction. It is likely to make you feel uneasy to place what you've worked so difficult for in somebody else's hands. It is tough to trust people nowadays, but please be aware that by employing Showalter, you'll be taken care of.
In Panama City, a category 5 hurricane almost destroyed our house on October 10th 2018. I had been set up during this hurricane's time and may only imagine what was left of the house back into the states. I arrived in the area on October 16th to find a house that was badly damaged and was in disbelief. Like most, this was my first encounter with a disaster. We had heard horror stories of contractors moving to the area preying on unsuspecting homeowners, so we were before hiring anyone to do work extremely skeptical.
I told Robert that he had been an outstanding human being, or he had been a prepared con-artist. He chuckled and continued to make sure me that he'd take care of us. He joined me with a public adjuster that I will address in a separate review under. We're only full with the first stage of debris removal, land preservation, and also land reconstruction's phase.

I was introduced to Showalter Construction by a friend that was very good. Since being reassigned from the Air Force I have done nothing but worry about my home in Panama City. I am so happy with their practices revolving about ethics communication, and priorities. Their whole team is A+, and I can not say enough great things Leave it and it will get done, no questions asked, so if you're looking look no further!!
