As homeowners in Central Florida and throughout the state assess damage inflicted by Hurricane Irma, many could find themselves in the middle of a tug-of-war between their insurance companies and contractors. More than 452,000 insurance claims worth an estimated $2.7 billion have been filed in the aftermath of Hurricane Irma so far, with more to come. But even before Irma hit, state regulators and insurance companies were warning customers about contractors who might push homeowners to sign contracts to get work done quickly.
