We simplify the repair and improvement process for Korean homeowners. We provide resources like cost guides, calculators, and project tips, and match you with licensed contractors to do the actual work.
Why Are Insurance Claims Harder for Korean Homeowners?
- Too many English insurance terms. "Deductible," "supplement," "ACV vs RCV," "matching coverage," "code upgrade"... Misunderstand one and it can cost you.
- Negotiating with the adjuster in English is stressful. The adjuster works for the insurance company. If the language barrier makes you accept less, your payout shrinks.
- The paperwork is complicated. The claim form, contractor estimate, inspection report, and supplement request are all in English.
- It's easy to miss the deadline. You usually need to file within a year of the storm. Working through it in English often eats up that time.
