Not necessarily, but should you suffer a loss involving that area again and it is unrepaired you will not be paid again for that damage, or the amount paid this time will be deducted from the new claim...Also you mortgagee may have to sign off on it.

You normally have 180 days to have repairs completed. If you have a mortgage most likely your mortgage company will force you to make the repairs. remember... they own your home until its paid off. Best thing to do is complete the repairs.

Can I accept property money damages from both my contractor's insurance co and my homeowners insurance?

No!! It is highly illegal for you to do this. When you make a claim on you home insurance for something that was the fault of your contractor you sign over all subjugation rights against this contractor to your insurance company. This means that if your home insurance pays any part of this claim you give them all your rights to go after the contractor, which they will do. They will go to the contractor and their insurance company to get reimbursed for any amount they paid plus costs. In most states it is considered insurance fraud for you to even try to collect damages from two places for the same claim.
