Peace of mind is worth it

Imagine this:
You are on your way home from a long hard day at work. As you approach your street you see a lot of activity. First you see a crowd of people, then you smell smoke. You turn the corner onto your block and you see fire trucks and firefighters fighting a house fire. The house is YOURS! The neighbors identify you to the firefighters as the owner of the house, and one of the firefighters tells you they tried to save the house and the contents, but it was too late!!

A few days later you try to fill out a claim at your insurance agent's office, but you are very stressed out, and find it difficult to remember what you owned. You are trying the best you can to create an inventory of the contents that used to be in that house destroyed by fire. You shake your head and say to yourself, "I should have done this before this happened, but I never thought it would happen to me"!

I heard this story many times from people who had the experience of a disaster and wish they had documentation safely stored off site, so it would make their insurance claims much faster and smoother. When there is a loss of that magnitude, it is very devastating, and traumatic enough, but it is much worse to have to recall everything without the help of documentation. Most people who have had a fire, flood or destruction from tornados has thought that the disaster would not happen to them, but it did!!

Having the personal property inventoried and documented gives you the peace of mind, and makes the claim process much smoother during a difficult time.The documentation is also important for proof of ownership, when making a claim, and having it done by a third party offers credibility.

Peace of mind is worth it.

Pikes Peak Home Inventory Services offers this peace of mind by documenting your personal property for you. We take photos of each item that is documented, and write a description, and the price paid for the item. We print out the report by location, and category. We also provide a CD with all the data, and the photos, along with a Protection Plus software that allows you to view the contents of the inventory. The handy software also provides other features such as a to-do list of future improvements you plan to do on the property.

All of the documentation done by Pikes Peak Home Inventory Service is completely confidential, which also provides a peace of mind.

Call Pikes Peak Home Inventory Services today at 393-3468, or check out our Web site at www.pikespeakhomeinventory.com, for peace of mind, you will be glad you did.
