Tips on Choosing the Right Commercial Restoration Contractor

If your property has been damaged by fire, flood, or some other type of disaster, it’s imperative to have it restored promptly and properly. Exposure to moisture and extreme temperatures can cause extensive damage to concrete foundations, which can weaken the structural integrity of the building.
 When it comes to building restoration, you need a contractor who has the experience, tools, and techniques needed to get the job done right. Choosing the wrong contractor can lead to costly delays or shoddy work that results in safety issues.
While there’s no rocket science involved in selecting a restoration contractor, it’s not a decision you should rush into either. Knowing how to assess and evaluate different contractors is extremely important. Here are three tips on making your search successful.

Hire a Restoration Specialist

In your search for the right contractor, you’ll come across many companies offering “handyman” and “cleanup” services who’ll claim they can restore your property. Some will even offer really attractive quotes.  
However, you should know that repairing damage caused by fire and moisture requires a specific set of skills as well as purpose-made equipment and tools. A general contractor would be a fine choice if you’re adding a patio or deck to your property. However, when it comes to restoring a fire or flood-damaged property, you need a contractor that has experience in the area.

Ask the Contractor How They’ll Evaluate Your Property

Skilled and experienced restoration experts will start off with a detailed site evaluation to gauge the extent of damage. And we’re not just talking about the visible damage, but issues that are lurking beneath the surface of floors, walls and ceilings. Without a thorough inspection, major problems like structural damage or mold could be missed, which can result in even bigger issues in the future. This type of evaluation not only requires special equipment and tools, but also a skilled, keen eye.

Ensure the Contractor Can Act Quickly

Fire and moisture-related damage can render a party—or at least parts of it—uninhabitable. Water damage can pose health risks as well. In fact, mold can start growing on a damp surface within 24 to 48 hours. If restoration work is delayed, the mold can quickly spread to other areas of the building. Therefore, you need a restoration contractor can start work right away.
