We had a pipe burst a few weeks ago, we obviously called our insurance company and they came and assessed the damaged. We finally got our insurance check, but I'm not sure what to do next. We've never had this happen before. We had a pipe burst in our Master Bathroom which went through our living Room ceiling. So we need a new ceiling, insulation and paited. They said the crown molding will need to be replaced as it could possibly be broke when it gets torn down. We need to have the padding replaced and carpet laid back down in living room. We need a new vinyl floor part& trim in our Master bathroom. That's the big part of it. Does anyone know where I begin or who to call to get quotes. Any advice would be VERY helpful.

What can I do next?

You could go to www.servicemagic.com and submit a request for quotes. We've used this site several times to have various work done in our house. Just a few weeks ago I needed an electrician, submitted a request & had 3 electricians call me within an hour. The work was completed that same day. And the contractors on that site are all rated by the people who hire them, so you can read the reviews before choosing to go with somebody. Good luck!

A., You didnt mention if you have any electrical work needed in this. But if the water went thru your ceiling and down the walls chances are you will. If you do call Chris at Continental Electric. ###-###-####. He is wonderful and will quote you only what actually needs doing he is not a scammer.
