Eight factors to consider before selecting a commercial restoration company

5/24/2021 (Permalink)

Blog summary: Multiple factors help decide the right commercial restoration company that can efficiently and swiftly put the property back to its original state.

The essentials of a commercial restoration company

Fire, water, mold, or structural damage to commercial property can hamper business significantly. Immediate and professional help must be hired to restore the property to its preloss condition and to avoid any further damage.

With the associated stress of damaged property, zoning in on the right commercial restoration company can prove to be challenging and confusing. Here are a few essential criteria to consider before choosing the restoration company that will seamlessly handle all the commercial restoration needs:

# 1 Certifications

Research for a restoration company that has been certified by the IICRC (Institute of Inspection, Cleaning, and Restoration Certification) and would, therefore, adhere to the highest standards of restoration processes and ethics. Certifications in specific restoration services may also be a criterion.

# 2 The service portfolio

It is tedious and wasteful to hire multiple contractors to deal with multiple issues in the property. A one-stop restoration company that can efficiently handle every aspect of the restoration is the best bet. This avoids unnecessary hassles of coordinating between multiple service providers and the loss of time, energy, and money.

1. Water restoration
2. Fire restoration
3. Mold remediation
4. Storm restoration
5. Roof tarping and board-up services
6. Cleaning services
7. Disaster response

# 3 Reviews and recommendations

Check online reviews or seek a recommendation from a friend or family member. Or even better, request a recommendation from the restoration company itself. Choose a company that is renowned for its integrity and commitment to quality.

# 4 Emergency services

Disasters or emergencies may sometimes strike at inopportune times. A restoration company that is available 24 hours, 365 days a year, and boasts of a disaster response team as well is very important when emergency strikes. A poor response time can aggravate the damage to the property. Therefore a team that can swiftly arrive on-site, assess the damage, and act immediately is what is required. Additionally, an experienced and capable restoration company must be equipped to handle big jobs.

# 5 Experience 

There are new restoration companies that are doing a splendid job, but experience is a necessity for large or complicated projects. Experience enables a restoration company to anticipate and approach the damage from a different perspective. 

# 6 Cost

A low-budget restoration company that doesn’t fulfill its promise or does a low-grade job may eventually lead to a massive increase in restoration costs. However, a company that quotes a ridiculously high estimate in emergencies and pressures the client could be assumed to be unethical. Therefore, one must seek companies whose commercials match their experience, certifications, and assurances.

# 7 Questions?

Put forth all queries and concerns regarding the damage assessment, the process, the certifications, the timeline, the costs, the warranties, the availability of crew, the communication channels, and so on. It is crucial to have clear communication and a sense of comfort with the company and its team to enable a successful and smooth restoration process. 

# 8 Technology and techniques
