What to Look for in a Fire Restoration Company

Looking for a fire restoration company is no different from considering any other type of home service provider. The home restoration company you choose should be reputable, proficient, and provide value. To evaluate home restoration businesses in your area, look at reviews and customer testimonials if you can find them, and ask around. There are plenty of services groups and platforms where you can ask other local homeowners about their experiences with the companies you’re considering. Reading what other people have to say about their experiences is going to be the biggest differentiator between companies. Less reputable companies will likely have reports of overcharging customers, rude customer service, poor communication, needlessly long project completion times, and other red flags.

Once you have a sense of which companies are the most highly rated, you can start assessing proficiency and comparing costs. “Fly by night” restoration companies won’t have much information on their websites about the types of services they provide or what their work looks like. Be skeptical of a site that looks like it just has basic information or may have just copied the information from another website. Most legitimate fire restoration companies provide the same types of clean up and restoration services, which means that there isn’t likely going to be much of a differentiating factor here once you dig into their websites and hear more about what they can offer. However, if your home has complex or unusual needs, you may need to check with the companies you’re considering to ensure that they’re able to provide these specific types of services.

Many fire damage restoration companies are used to dealing with not only homeowners but also their insurance companies as part of the restoration process, so again, that might not help to weed out many contenders that are still in the running. However, some may also include resources on home fire cleanup to give you a sense of the kind of experience they have in the doing this kind of work. Industry leaders will have helpful resources that demonstrate that they know what they’re talking about so help set you at ease when choosing a fire restoration company for the first time.

Then, there’s price to consider. With a significant cost like that of fire restoration it’s tempting to try to look for ways to save money. Do not simply try to find the restoration business that is going to charge the lowest price. Understand that often you get what you pay for. Understand exactly what’s being provided for the estimate you’re being given and what can change the overall cost of the project as work is being done. Compare different companies’ service offerings to understand what’s included – the work, the time, the tools, the materials, etc. Then choose the company that offers the best combination of reputation, experience, and price to get your home restored after a fire.
