When a property is damaged, many questions come up about the process, the timing and how to respond the right way. Here you will find answers to the most common questions.

Do you serve commercial properties?add
Yes. We work with commercial properties, multifamily buildings, HOAs, property managers and managed buildings.

Water Damage

What should I do if I have a water leak?add
The most important thing is to act quickly. Water can keep spreading inside walls, ceilings and structures even if the damage is not immediately visible. Schedule an inspection with our team as soon as possible.
How long does it take for mold to appear after water damage?add
In humid conditions like Florida’s, mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours after a leak or water buildup.

Mold Remediation

How do I know if I have mold in my property?add
The most common signs include a musty smell, dark stains, recurring moisture problems and persistent respiratory symptoms indoors.
Does cleaning visible mold solve the problem?add
Not necessarily. Mold often comes from a hidden moisture source that needs to be identified and corrected.
Can mold come back?add
Yes, especially if the cause of the moisture is not properly corrected.

Fire Damage

What happens after a fire, even if it was a small one?add
Smoke and soot can keep affecting walls, ceilings, air systems and surfaces even after the fire has been put out.
Does the smoke smell go away on its own?add
Not always. In many cases, the odor gets trapped in materials and requires professional treatment.

Storm Damage & Roofing

How do I know if a storm damaged my roof?add
After a storm you may notice leaks, lifted or missing shingles, interior moisture and debris from roofing materials on the ground. Much of the damage is not immediately visible.
Does JD replace entire roofs?add
No. Our main focus is assessing the damage and carrying out mitigation to keep the problem from getting worse.
What is considered storm damage?add
Damage caused by wind, heavy rain, hurricanes, flying debris and leaks related to severe weather.

Impact Windows & Doors

Do impact windows really withstand hurricanes?add
Yes. They are designed with laminated glass and reinforced systems to withstand impacts and wind pressure in accordance with Florida standards.
What is the difference between regular glass and impact glass?add
Regular glass breaks and leaves the opening exposed. Impact glass can crack, but it stays bonded to its inner layer, helping maintain the integrity of the structure.
Do impact windows help with heat and noise?add
Yes. They also help improve thermal insulation and reduce outside noise.

Insurance & Process

Do you work with insurance companies?add
Our processes are aligned with the usual requirements of insurance companies, and we document every stage of the work when applicable.
Can you help me understand the damage you find?add
Yes. During the inspection we explain the scope of the problem and the options available to address it.
What happens after the inspection?add
After evaluating the property, we provide clear information about the damage found and the possible solutions for each case.
