Different from a general contractor, restoration contractors have specific skills and equipment that are focused on fixing disaster-level problems. That is why it is important to know the difference and who you need to call and when.
Paul Davis Edmonton is a professional restoration company that is readily available to handle emergency problems. They further explain what their restoration contractors can do for you and your home:
What is a restoration contractor?
A restoration contractor focuses on handling disaster situations and stopping the problem before it becomes even worse. Most general contractors have the skills and equipment for construction, remodeling or renovations. A restoration contractor, however, has the skills and tools to handle water, fire and smoke damage or damage from storms. Read more about steps to take to help protect your home from storm damage.
They focus on assessing the problem, then stopping it and repairing the after damage. Additionally, the equipment they use will be different from a general contractor. Rather than tools to renovate, restoration contractors will have moisture meters or air movers, to deal with each kind of situation.
Restoration contractors work with insurance companies
Because restoration contractors regularly deal with disaster situations, they are also familiar with insurance companies. With a general contractor, you typically won’t have to get your insurance company involved in the project. However, for major damages and repairs, you will. A restoration contractor will know the claim process and how payment will work. With Paul Davis, once you call, they will be on the scene within two hours. Once there, they will provide a detailed appraisal and estimate of the costs to then provide to the insurance company.
What happens during a restoration cleanup?
The first part of a restoration cleanup is dealing with the source of the problem and stopping it. Once done, all the damaged items are removed. This can include drywall, flooring, furniture, and wiring. The goal of a restoration contractor is to preserve as much of the original home as possible, as well as restore it to its original appearance.
After the cleanup, the contractor will then restore the home. A restoration contractor will have the knowledge to deal with the specific repairs based on what caused the damage. They will also have tools such as moisture meters or infrared cameras, to ensure there is no hidden damage or risk of mold developing.
Having a restoration contractor in place is just as important as taking preventative steps and measures in your home to avoid problems.
