Do I Really Need Multiple Estimates for Restoration Work?

After a water or fire loss, homeowners are sometimes told to “get three estimates” before proceeding. But in emergency restoration, time is of the essence. Waiting for multiple companies to assess and quote the work can delay critical mitigation leading to greater damage and possibly impacting your insurance coverage.

Most insurance policies require prompt mitigation to prevent worsening conditions. If you delay services for the sake of comparison, you may be on the hook for the added damage.

Instead, choose a restoration provider who is reputable, licensed, transparent in pricing, and willing to work directly with your adjuster. A good partner ensures the work is properly scoped, documented, and fairly covered under your policy.
