3 Signs You Are Choosing the Right Restoration Company

What Is a Restoration Company?

Restoration companies are among the first responders following a disaster. Their role is to secure your property, clean up the mess, and eliminate health and property hazards.

A full-service restoration company offers the following services.

Water Cleanup and Mold Removal

Flooding is responsible for a large proportion of natural disasters in Central Florida. A quality restoration company will remove standing water, dry your property, thoroughly sanitize, and repair water-damaged areas.

Water damage can result in mold growth in less than 48 hours. A skilled restoration company will identify and remove the mold before it can cause health issues or damage walls, ceilings, floors, or furniture.

Fire Restoration

In Central Florida, more than 3,000 properties are damaged by fire annually. After firefighters leave the scene, buildings are left with fire, water, and smoke damage. A restoration service will quickly board up your building to protect it from theft and further damage and start cleanup work.

A highly experienced restoration company like True Builders will work directly with your insurance provider. We’ll coordinate with insurers on estimated costs and approval to save you the hassle of doing it yourself. We’ll remove water and mold, eliminate smoke and soot, and restore and repair areas damaged by flames.

How Do You Choose the Right Restoration Company?

A disaster often leaves you confused, scared, and frustrated. You might feel compelled to hire whichever restoration company is recommended by your insurance company. However, you are under no obligation to use your insurer’s choice for disaster restoration services.

Three hallmarks of a reliable and respected restoration company include:

  • Experienced, local, and licensed: After a natural disaster, Florida is inundated with out-of-state companies claiming to have restoration experience. It’s best to hire a local company with years of experience in the area and local customer referrals. The company should be fully licensed and certified as proof that they meet the requirements to perform restoration services.
  • Outstanding customer service: In a time of intense stress, it’s important to work with a compassionate service provider that will outline your options, help you find temporary housing, and coordinate with your insurance company. Start by checking out the company’s customer reviews. True Builders holds 4.8 stars across more than 400 Google reviews.
  • Certified by IICRC: The IICRC is the leading governing body of the restoration industry. An IICRC certification means that the company has completed rigorous training and testing and provides the highest quality of cleaning and restoration work.
