Jimmy Moore, the owner of Petra is building a custom home on our property. The original home was destroyed in the Marshall Fire in Boulder County, Colorado. Jimmy approached us to build the house right after the fire. We hired him on the spot as Petra had done a small remodel for us in 2017, and we were extremely happy with the result. Hiring Petra was a no-brainer and we were quite excited.
Then came the part where we had to negotiate the amount the insurance company would pay for the re-build. The home was 30 years old, and many building codes were very different and much more expensive. The original home blueprints were destroyed in the fire.
While our adjuster was excellent, she was from the west coast and had little experience with the stringent Boulder County building requirements, which are quite specific and onerous. She hired consultants to help her evaluate the amount, and they also were very inexperienced in Boulder County codes.
While he had no requirement to do so, Jimmy took over the process on our behalf. As a builder in the county, Jimmy and Petra were experts in this area.
Jimmy spent many hours with the adjuster's "experts" educating them on Boulder County, including the back-up data to support his/our position. The result was a very favorable result, where we feel the insurance company is giving us a fair amount for the rebuild.
THIS WOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED without Jimmy's hard work and expertise. We are so very grateful for Jimmy and Petra. Losing everything you own and is miserable. Jimmy and Petra have made this process so much better for us.
