Insurance Work in Bracebridge, ON

Did Your Home's Flooring Get Damaged? We Can Help.

When water damage, flooding, or an unexpected accident ruins your floors, figuring out what comes next can feel overwhelming. At Modern Home Carpet One Floor & Home in Bracebridge, ON, we work alongside your insurance company to help you get the flooring replacement you're entitled to — without the stress.

While we're not a restoration company, we can assist you with your insurance flooring claim, help you select replacement flooring, and manage the installation from beginning to end.

So, How Does The Flooring Claim Process Work?

This is the question we get asked most often — and for good reason. The process can feel confusing at first. Here's a simple breakdown of what to expect:

• Step 1: Start your claim. Contact your insurance company to report the damage and open a claim.
• Step 2: A restoration company gets assigned. Your insurer will send a restoration company to assess the damage at your home.
• Step 3: The restoration company reports back. They document the damage and submit their findings to your insurance company.
• Step 4: Your insurance company sets the claim amount. Based on the assessment, your insurer determines how much they'll cover for your flooring replacement.
• Step 5: You get referred to us. The restoration company shares the approved claim amount and connects you with Modern Home Carpet One to handle your flooring replacement.

That's where we come in — and we make it as easy as possible from here.

Are You Entitled to an Upgrade?

Most often, yes — and here's something a lot of homeowners don't know: your insurance policy entitles you to a like, kind, and quality replacement. That means your new floors should be comparable to what was there before.

But you're also free to upgrade if you'd like something different. You simply pay the difference between your claim amount and the cost of the new flooring you choose. Our team will walk you through your options and help you find something you'll love — all within your budget.

What Are the Most Common Questions About Insurance Flooring Claims?

"What does 'like, kind, and quality' mean?"

It means your insurance company will cover the cost of replacing your damaged flooring with something of similar value and quality. You're not required to replace it with the same product — just something comparable.

"Can I choose different flooring than what I had before?"

Absolutely. You can choose a completely different style, material, or colour. If the new flooring costs more than your claim amount, you simply pay the difference.

"Do I need to coordinate between the restoration company and Modern Home Carpet One myself?"

Not at all. Our team works directly with restoration companies and handles the coordination on your behalf. That's one less thing for you to worry about.

"What types of flooring can be replaced through an insurance claim?"

We carry a full range of flooring options — carpet, hardwood, luxury vinyl, laminate, and tile. Whatever was in your home, we can find a great replacement.
