WINTER PARK, Fla. — In its largest transaction to date, Florida-based Coastal Reconstruction — a general contractor specializing in wind, water and fire restoration — has been selected as the preferred vendor for 1,600 schools in districts throughout Michigan and Ohio. These schools are now covered under the company’s Rapid Response initiative, an on-call property emergency and natural disaster recovery program. With this addition, the company now operates in 18 states throughout the Southeast and Midwest.

“Coastal Reconstruction operates differently from other general contractors by giving property owners the opportunity to enroll for the Rapid Response program before any damage occurs,” says Scott McCurdy, executive vice president of Coastal Reconstruction. “That way, our team can get to work immediately following a storm, fire or other emergency. It not only saves time, but also helps our clients resume their normal lives as soon as possible.”

About Rapid Response
Rapid Response is available for both residential and commercial properties and is free because the company is paid directly through the owner’s insurance company (the insured is responsible for their deductible). Under this program, a crew arrives onsite within four hours after damage is reported and begins boarding up windows, tarping roofs and eradicating water damage to prevent more structural deterioration. From there, Coastal Reconstruction representatives meet with the insurance adjuster to help settle the claim and restore the property to its previous condition.
