Hurricane Harvey
Hurricane Harvey has affected our own friends and family here at Olshan, including members of our team. Since we were established in 1933, we’ve seen a lot of big storms, but perhaps none as devastating as Harvey.
Since Harvey, we have been inundated with inquires from homeowners looking to elevate their homes to protect against flood damage. In response to the high demand, and in part due to the complex process, we have decided to offer a limited number of free Home Elevation consultations.
Our goal is that after you attend this consultation you will be armed with all the information you need to understand the process from begging-to-end.
