Recovering From a Home Fire Only Takes Two Phone Calls
6/7/2022 (Permalink)
The first call is easy. Contact your insurance company and explain your situation. They will confirm your coverage and send an adjuster to assess the damage. The basis for the adjuster’s estimate is the amount of damage caused by the fire.
This fire restoration estimate includes the cost of:
- Protecting your home from the wind and rain until repairs are complete.
- Removing water and eliminating water damage.
- Removing restorable items and sending them out for restoration.
- Removing damaged material for disposal.
- Removing the effects of smoke and soot on your home and its contents.
- Cleaning your home in preparation for final restoration.
- Restoring your home to its original condition.
The Rest Is Up to You
The adjuster leaves you shaking your head. In one hand, you have the estimate. In the other, you have the insurance company’s list of preferred vendors in the Layton, UT, area. You dread the thought of:
- making all those calls
- talking to all those contractors
- scheduling all that work.
It looks like a full-time job. You don’t have that kind of time. You look at the list of preferred vendors and, suddenly, one name jumps off the paper.
Your Second Call Is Even Easier
That name belongs to a company that can do the entire job. There is no need to convince them of the urgency. They already understand that the tarps and plywood must go up immediately.
Many people don’t understand the extent of this company’s capabilities. When you excel at something, people tend to forget about your other skills. Providing rebuilding services is a natural addition to their cleaning and restoration expertise.
After all, why would you bring in a separate contractor after a fire to rebuild when one can do it all? Having this company do the job is one-stop shopping at its best.
It’s Time To Make That Call
You’ve selected the best contractor from the preferred vendor list. You want the restoration to begin quickly. It’s time to make that second call. Those full-service fire remediation specialists are ready to go.
