Never make the mistake of hiring a general contractor to take over your fire damage restoration and mitigation services. General contractors can do patch up jo0bs, but they can't handle smoke removal, soot and ash elimination, stain removal, restoration of your belongings and the removal of toxicity and return of balance to the environment in the manner that a fire damage restoration contractor can.
Fire restoration is a job that demands immediate attention. This does not mean however, that you hire the first fire damage contractor you come across. Take your time and make use of diligence to hire the right contractor for the job. Your contractor should have the necessary licensing requirements for his trade. Some verifiable bodies are the American Industrial Hygiene Association, Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification, and the National Air Filtration Association. Don't take his credentials at face value. Look up the websites of these companies on line and verify his credentials. Your contractor should also have many years of experience in the business. It helps if you hire a contractor who has experience restoring properties on the same scale of fire damage as yours.
Your fire repair company should come with adequate amount of insurance coverage, including worker's compensation and liability insurance. If he plans to let out work to sub contractors, these contractors should be adequately insured too. This is very important to protect you from any liability while the restoration process is going on. Ask your fire damage restoration contactor for an estimated time frame for the completion of the restoration. He should be able to give you a detailed estimate in writing. Ask him if he undertakes clean up as well as repairs, and if he can offer warranties for his work. Lastly, ask him for a list of references of past clients who are happy with his services.
