What’s Included in a Professional Restoration Quote

1. Detailed Damage Assessment & Inspection

Before any numbers appear, our certified technicians perform an on-site evaluation that covers:

• Visual Survey: Identify water entry points, visible mold, structural cracks, staining, and affected materials.
• Moisture Mapping: Use moisture meters and thermal imaging to detect hidden wet spots in walls, subfloors, and ceilings.
• Air Quality Testing: Optional mold spore counts or VOC tests to quantify indoor air contamination, especially important for sensitive occupants.
• Pre-Existing Conditions Review: Document any past damage or repairs to avoid confusion about the current event.

2. Scope of Work Breakdown

Every task is itemized so you can compare apples to apples and ensure nothing is overlooked:

• Water Extraction & Drying: Truck-mounted pumps, industrial dehumidifiers, air movers—listed by unit and duration.
• Mold Remediation: Containment setup, HEPA-filtered air scrubbers, antimicrobial treatments, and disposal of contaminated materials.
• Structural Repairs: Drywall replacement, subfloor repair, baseboard and trim restoration, and any carpentry work required to restore integrity.
• Cleaning & Sanitization: Odor control, anti-microbial fogging, and full-surface disinfecting, including HVAC duct cleaning if necessary.
• Final Finishing: Painting, sealing, and dress-up work to return your home to “like-new” condition, with paint and materials matched to existing décor.

3. Materials & Equipment Costs

Transparent line-items for all supplies and rentals ensure you know exactly where your money goes:

• Replacement drywall, insulation, lumber, fasteners
• Specialty repair compounds, mold inhibitors, sealants
• Equipment rental fees (dehumidifiers, air movers, containment barriers)
• Protective gear and waste‐disposal charges, including hazardous-material handling if mold levels are high

4. Labor & Project Timeline

Your quote will specify:

• Labor Hours: Number of technicians and estimated man-hours per task.
• Schedule: Project start date, milestones (e.g., extraction complete, repairs begin), and expected completion.
• After-Hours or Emergency Fees: If 24/7 response or weekend work is required, these are clearly noted upfront.
• Coordination: Approximate times for inspections, insurance adjuster visits, and final walkthroughs—so you can plan around the work.

5. Insurance Liaison & Documentation

We streamline your claim by including:

• Detailed scopes of work compliant with IICRC and industry standards
• Photo documentation and moisture-reading logs for each affected area
• Direct billing options and coordination notes for your insurer, minimizing paperwork on your end
• Adjuster meeting summaries to ensure everyone is on the same page

6. Warranties & Guarantees

Peace of mind comes standard:

• Workmanship Warranty: Coverage period for repairs and remediation work, so you can rest easy.
• Equipment Warranty: Guarantees on replaced components and materials.
• Follow-Up Inspection: Complimentary check-up 30 days after project completion to verify no lingering moisture or issues.
