Novi questions

How fast can you get to Novi?

Novi is about 24 minutes from our Southfield office in light traffic (16.8 miles by road). Across Oakland County a crew is on site in about 60 minutes, day or night. Call 248-845-0000 and we'll give you a real arrival time.

Which Novi ZIP codes do you cover?

Every part of Novi, including 48374, 48375 and 48377. If you're near the edge of Novi, call and we'll confirm right away.

Can you protect furniture, art and other belongings during the work?

Yes. On large homes we move contents out of harm's way, photograph and inventory them, and store them until the house is dry and repaired. Our own crew does the pack-out.

Does homeowners insurance cover flooding in Novi?

Not flooding from outside: standard policies exclude it, and homes with federally backed mortgages in a FEMA floodplain must carry flood insurance. Water from a burst pipe or a failed appliance is a different matter. We document every job for your adjuster either way.
