The number 7 is thought by many to be a lucky number, a number that brings good fortune to those that have it and use it to thier advantage.

And so, in the spirit of making things easier and of good fortune for you, the various readers, here's the very best seven tips for working with a disaster restoration contractor:

1. ASK QUESTIONS & LISTEN TO THE ANSWERS. What is involved here is often overlooked but may be the most important tip we can offer to you. This can be very important because it is very confusing. Our work is complex and requires a significantly different scope than a simple remodeling. Not doing this well or ignoring it may lead to assumptions that you make and are incorrect about your contractor.

2. Review the estimate and write down what questions you have. This could be very important because the lowest estimate may be missing portions of work that you NEED to be done.

3. Ask your agent or adjustor to see who they recommend. This will be an important element because insurance agents have seen the work of dozens of contractors and they can tell who can meet your needs the best...or who to stay away from.

4. Agree on a date to start as well as a finish date.. Another point is to get the start/finish date before any contracts are signed. You would be surprised but sometimes a contractor will take a job and not start it for months if there is no agreed start date.

5. Stop in during the job to check the status. Pay very close attention to this step: Restoration work can take a few twists and turns throughout the process. Sometimes the extent of the water, storm, or fire damage is not realized until we look behind the walls of your home. Stop in during the day to see at what is going on and ask questions. .

6. Ask what subcontractors will be doing the work, you'll want to know who is coming into your house. Another important element is subcontracting. Restoration companies often use subs, some never use subs. You may like the restoration company, but if they are using poor subcontractors, the finished job may not turn out how you want it to.

7. ASK QUESTIONS. Seriously, I cannot stress this enough. Sometimes your disaster restoration contractor has done this so many times he/she will go over items quickly with you and you will miss on some important items...so always ask when you have a fire or water loss .

Follow these tips for working with a restoration contractor and you can expect success, with all its benefits.

In the event you omit or ignore any of these tips, you risk getting poorer results than you may otherwise expect.
