Things You Need Your Kalispell House Fire? Hotel Checklist.

life in a hotel

Having to be out of your home for an extended period of time can be tough on you and your family.  Whether you are staying in a hotel or a rental home, having things that you use everyday can go a long way to helping keep a normal routine as much as possible.  Depending on the damage to your home you may be able grab these things yourself and other times you may want to have items such as clothes and bedding cleaned.  

What Items Does Your Rental Already Have?

Another thing to consider is whether you are staying in a hotel or a rental home.  The home may be furnished, but does it have bedding and kitchenwares.  When working for a restoration company they can provide certain items faster than others depending on your needs.  It is important to know early on in the claim what contents you may need, but in circumstances like this, things can change quickly and it can be overwhelming at first.  Having a flexible team who you can call and request contents to be delivered to you is important and will take a lot of stress off of you.  

Know the Seasons?

Fire claims can also span multiple seasons if the rebuild is substantial.  Knowing the type of clothes you need in the moment can change.  Summers may require shorts and t-shirts and then fall comes along and you may need pants and jackets.  Using a local restoration company for your contents means you can get items you need quicker and not have to find replacements somewhere else.  

Taking Care of the Kids.

If you have kids entertaining them in a hotel can be tough.  Take inventory of what things they might need.  Do they need new school supplies, computers, or toys?  Many items like supplies and electronics might have been non-restorable.  Make sure to work with your restoration team and your insurance adjuster to get an initial check to cover the things you need right away.  Again, ask your restoration team about an itemized list of non restorable contents that they can send to the adjuster for you to speed the process up.  

Living out of a hotel or rental can be tough, but you are not in this alone.  Be sure to work with your adjuster and restoration team for any help and questions you may have.  We at Northwest Contents, are a local company and provide emergency item services to your living accommodations when you need them.
