About this episode

This episode discusses Florida's property insurance landscape and roofing repairs with insights from industry experts.

Richie Kidwell and co-host, property damage attorney Hans Kennon, return with Contractor Talk to discuss Florida’s changing property insurance landscape and why the correct “date of loss” can make or break a roofing claim, especially when damage is discovered months later. They break down shrinking coverage, rising premiums, claim handling tactics, and ongoing legal battles impacting homeowners across Florida. Special guests Jenson Pedraza and Pedro from Midas Roofing share how their company is raising the standard for roofing craftsmanship through free inspections, detailed photo reports, instant roof estimate tools, and financing options that help homeowners move forward with repairs during insurance disputes. If you are dealing with roof damage, insurance claims, or preparing your home for storm season, this episode offers valuable insights for Florida homeowners and contractors alike.
