If your home or business has suffered from fire damage, you need a company you can trust to return it to pre-loss condition. There are a lot of companies that claim to restore fire damage, but not all of these services were made equal.
You deserve a company that can clean up, replace the damaged materials, and leave your home or business back the way it was safe and intact. So, how can you know who to trust? Let us show you how.
How Long Has the Company Been in Business?
You want someone who has been in business a long time. This means they have plenty of experience restoring damage and working with insurance companies. This is not a guarantee that the company will provide excellent service, but it is definitely a good sign.
After all, they have not only been doing the job for quite a while, but they have also found enough customers to stay in business. This also often means there will be reviews for the business that you can check to see what former customers have to say about them.
How Much Experience Do They Have Restoring Fire Damage?
Some companies may have been in business for a while, but they may not have much experience with restoring fire damage. Check to see if they have a number of projects under their belt.
Also, you can see if these projects are recent or in the distant past. You want to see that the company restoring your project has workers who know what they are doing.
Does the Company Work With Insurance Providers?
The best fire restoration companies will save you the time and hassle of working with your insurance provider. A good professional fire restoration service will have experience dealing with insurance claims and be willing to work with you and your insurance provider to ensure your restoration project proceeds in the fastest, most affordable manner possible.
Is the Company Locally Owned?
Often times fire damage restoration services are owned by large national chains or franchises, and you may be dealing with a franchisee who has little interest in helping you or your community. But, some fire damage restoration providers are locally owned and invested in both you and the interests of the whole community.
Does the Company Guarantee its Work?
If a fire restoration service truly believes in the quality of its work, it will offer a guarantee for it before you receive any estimates or accept any work, if there are any guarantees given.
Do They Provide Free Estimates?
Before ever choosing a company, always ask if they provide free estimates. Otherwise, you may suffer from unpleasant surprises down the line when you receive the bill. It is also important to know the cost and extent of work necessary for the project before you choose a company, so free estimates are important.
How Quickly Will They Complete the Project?
When your home or business has suffered fire damage, your life can be turned upside down. You want to get back to normal as quickly as you can. So, it is important that a company provide an honest estimate that will get your life back to normal as quickly as possible.
