Choosing A Fire Damage Contractor
Although the extent of damage to your structure and belongings look intimidating, take heart. There are specialized professional fire damage restoration contractors who can help your property and your belongings get back to their pre fire damage conditions.

A general contractor can do some patch up work that can hide damage temporarily, but is not equipped to handle permanent mitigation of your property.
Fire restoration is a job that demands immediate attention. This does not mean however, that you hire the first fire damage contractor you come across. Take your time and make use of diligence to hire the right contractor for the job. Your contractor should have the necessary licensing requirements for his trade. Some verifiable bodies are the American Industrial Hygiene Association, Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification, and the National Air Filtration Association. Don't take his credentials at face value. Look up the websites of these companies on line and verify his credentials. Your contractor should also have many years of experience in the business. It helps if you hire a contractor who has experience restoring properties on the same scale of fire damage as yours.
He should have worker's compensation and liability insurance. If he plans to sub contract any part of the fire restoration process to another company, that company should have the same amount of insurance. He should have the resources necessary to carry out fire damage repair and clean up. He should be willing to give you a written estimate for his project. Last but not least, he should be able to offer you a list of past satisfied clients in Austin for you to verify his conduct and professionalism.

I need an estimate for my Insurance company |
I would like to schedule an assessment and cleaning estimate for a unit in a fourplex that I own. The tenants that vacated the unit were heavy smokers. The property manager had the unit professionally cleaned, new carpet installed, and new paint on the walls, ceilings, and trim. However, the cigarette smell is still noticeable. The painter did not wash the walls or ceilings before painting and did not apply any primer. We used a chlorine dioxide fogger which reduced the smell. Thanks. |
