How Do I know Which Company to Choose?

QUESTION: How do I know who I should choose to represent me with the insurance company and do the repairs needed on my house?
ANSWER: Try and check a company out before agreeing to do business. Even if you have already signed a contract, you are allowed by law to cancel such contract within 72 hours of acceptance.
