Part 3: How to Choose the Right Restoration Company

If you decide to hire a professional restoration company, choosing the right one is crucial. Here’s how to find the best team for the job:

1. Look for Certifications & Experience

✅ IICRC-Certified (Institute of Inspection, Cleaning, and Restoration Certification)
✅ Years of experience handling water, fire, and mold damage
✅ Licensed and insured for safety

2. Check Reviews & References

  • Read Google and Yelp reviews to see customer experiences.
  • Ask for references from previous clients.
  • Look for companies with a strong local reputation.

3. 24/7 Emergency Service

  • Water damage spreads fast—companies should offer immediate response.
  • Look for 24/7 availability, even on weekends and holidays.

4. Direct Insurance Billing

  • A good restoration company works with your insurance provider.
  • They provide detailed documentation for easy claims processing.

5. Free Inspections & Estimates

  • Avoid companies that demand upfront payments before an inspection.
  • Professional teams provide free assessments and transparent pricing.
