3. Offer a Solution. Come prepared with options and a clear timeline.
4. Follow Up and Deliver. Keep them updated as the situation resolves.

Who is BuildSOS?
BuildSOS started in 2016 when a group of builders decided they were tired of watching unethical contractors take advantage of homeowners after disasters. They created a network of 5,000+ contractors nationwide who are committed to building better businesses while building more resilient communities. We grew 350% in 2025 with a simple message: you can grow your business and strengthen your community at the same time.
The Market Opportunity
The United States faces $182.7 billion in annual disaster damages. Disasters are increasing in frequency and severity. This is the biggest opportunity of our generation for contractors who are ready. The question is not whether there will be disaster recovery work, but whether you will be the contractor homeowners call. BuildSOS helps you be that contractor.
