RENOVATION AND INSURANCE

INSURANCE RESTORATION

Experience is so important when rebuilding in situations where homeowners or tenants are displaced and quick turnaround is essential. American General Corporation knows the challenges and intricacies involved with quick mobilization and fast-track scheduling. For each job we undertake, we establish a field office and management team to work exclusively on that one project. This assures maximum quality control and quick response. We also provide a 24-hour hotline so that every customer's needs are met at a moment's notice.


CONSTRUCTION DEFECT RECTIFICATION

American General Corporation has established an out standing reputation in this highly specialized area. Over the years, we've been one of the most sought after expert witnesses for construction defect litigation. Our familiarity with code requirements and the construction process enables us to determine how one element can impact another's structural or architectural integrity. This thorough understanding enables us to capably review a project for water intrusion, cracking, under slab instability, inadequate fire stops, destabilized embankments and all of the factors that can contribute to structural problems and architectural deficiencies. Our own innovative, precision construction techniques assure that all rectification work will meet or exceed industry standards to the letter and will stand the ultimate tests of customer satisfaction and time.


RENOVATION AND REFURBISHING

Our company realizes with the aging of a large number of rental units constructed during the 1970's, owners and property managers are going to make important decisions about the future performance of older properties. We are sensitive to the fact that rising utility costs have made energy conservation imperative. Also, ongoing maintenance can become inefficient and costly as mechanical and structural systems reach the end of their life expectancy. These facts, together with the ongoing competition with new or recently renovated projects, make renovation a more viable alternative. Our company is experienced in major renovations of existing units and provides an experienced team approach to solving the complicated coordination problems of renovation work. Our continual exposure to new construction materials and methods keeps us connected to the latest in energy conservation techniques and equipment dependability. The size and financial stability of our company provides reliable guarantees for our clients. Our wealth of new construction and renovation experience can lead to major cost savings and greater value received by the owner. Because of the scope of our new construction operation, our purchasing power gives us advantages in renovation over less experienced contractors.
