Insurance Repairs
Often insurance repairs involve more than simply matching an insurance estimate. This category documents real residential projects completed by Carrigan Painting throughout Western New York following water damage, ceiling failures, plumbing leaks, storm damage, and other insured losses.
Each case study explains the damage we found, the repairs performed, the materials and methods used, and the finished results. Our goal is to help homeowners better understand the repair process through real-world examples, photographs, and field observations from actual projects.
