FIRE, SMOKE, WATER, MOLD & WIND RESTORATION

A general contractor’s inspection of a restoration claim begins with a thorough on-site review of the affected property, where they walk every room alongside the homeowner (and often the insurance adjuster) to assess structural damage and verify what’s been documented. They’ll open walls or ceilings as needed to check for hidden issues—like charred framing, compromised support members, or moisture behind drywall—and compare those findings against the insurance carrier’s scope of loss. Using industry-standard estimating software, the contractor then compiles a detailed work plan that outlines labor, materials, and any necessary permits or code upgrades. Throughout this process, they serve as the central communicator—liaising with you, your insurer, and our restoration team—to resolve discrepancies, answer questions, and ensure the approved scope fully addresses both visible and unseen damage. Once the estimate is finalized and authorized, the general contractor coordinates all trades and oversees every phase of reconstruction, guaranteeing your home is returned not just to pre-loss condition, but to the highest standards of safety and craftsmanship.
