I work for an insurance company but not in Calgary, obviously. I handle property claims so this is right up my alley. I know that we guarantee the work of our contractors and only work with tthe very best. If your friend is insured with our company he is in good hands.

Some tips

- gather up any possible eveidence of contents, pictures (from relatives since I assume there is much left), receipts from stores, bank statements, credit card statement etc. If they plan on replacing everything it is tedious but sometimes necessary. If there was a bunch of stuff that isn't worth replacing, cash settling on contents is probably the easiest way to go.

- for additional living expense, start working on what they normally spend per week on food, heating etc. This comes off of any payment for hotels, food etc. It is called "additonal" as in what you pay above and beyond what you normally pay

If they have any specific questions, feel free to PM me.... I am pretty sure property claims are handled much the same as they are here.
