Water damage occurred inside home during roof replacement.

Nate Pucel

We are having our roof replaced due to storm damage, however, when the shingles were removed another storm came through the area and caused a significant amount of water damage inside the house. Currently, we have a traveling nurse staying at our property until the end of November. I have absolutely no idea how to navigate this situation.

The contractor has stated that they'll fix any damage, but some of the damage is to drywall that has kitchen cabinets hung on them. I feel like there's no way the renter could be expected to stay in the house while this is being repaired, but I don't know how this all gets remedied. Does the contractor's insurance pay to have the renter's stay elsewhere while it's being fixed? Do they wait until the renter is gone in November to do the repairs, and if so, do they pay for the loss of income while it's unable to be rented? I feel like the first option would likely occur, but I also feel like that's bad business for me and would be worried the renter would leave a bad review because of it, and thus possibly make it harder to rent. Idon't even know if I have any say in the scenario. This is an overwhelming situation and I'm not really sure how to navigate it.

Has anyone been through anything like this or have any suggestions on how to proceed?

Thanks in advance
