Don't Get Ripped-Off by a Restoration Company Scam…

Prevent Restoration Scam | Professional Restoration Company | Trusted Restoration Company

The idea of a restoration company is a great one. When there is fire or water damage to your home or business, it would be nice to be able to pick up the phone and call a contractor experienced in disaster relief, restoration and recovery. Unfortunately, most restoration companies don't have your best interest in mind. They are interested in running up your clean-up and re-construction bill in order to get a big check from your insurance company's deep pockets. There are some indicators that will let you know if you are getting scammed by a restoration company right off the bat… here's what to look for.

A Restoration Scam Will Feel Like This…
The restoration company shows up unannounced in the aftermath of the disaster and does everything they can to start clean-up and recovery work immediately. They will try to get you to let them start work without any formal estimate or proposal of any kind. They will over-inflate the sense of urgency regarding the recovery and avoid talking with your insurance agent in the beginning. These companies prey on the misfortune of others and are just looking for those big insurance payouts.

Some of them will even start to board up windows or remove carpet without even asking you. They are counting on you assuming they are authorized representative of your insurance company. They will always remove more drywall or more carpet after a flood than they need to. They will use more equipment than necessary for a longer time than necessary, because they know they can bill the insurance company for each piece of equipment and every hour of time. These companies are giving the restoration and reconstruction industry a bad name! They are owned and operated by inexperienced people looking to make a quick buck, and many of them succeed by having an insurance adjuster or two in their pocket.

A Professional Restoration Project Should Feel Like this…
The restoration contractor specializing in fire, flood and storm damage arrives on the scene at the request of you and/or your insurance company. They will treat you with care and respect while stabilizing and securing the property after the catastrophic event. They will work hand-in-hand with you and your insurance company to come up with the best plan to restore your property to it's original condition. They will acknowledge the fact that you as the property owner have the right to choose the contractor you want to perform the necessary work. They will provide estimates and realistic timelines for the project's completion.

They will use industry standard formulas to access the damage and implement the proper amount of equipment for the proper amount of time so you get the most for your insurance dollar. Most of all, they won't try to push you into a hasty decision. They will allow you to check with your insurance company and get competitive bids if necessary. They are there to help, not take advantage. They will be there to coach you through the process, so you are aware of every aspect of the project and the open communication with their insurance company. Even though you are experiencing an unfortunate event in your life, hiring a restoration contractor should feel like hiring any other contractor. Just remember… you are the one in control making the decisions!
