Do I need to get multiple estimates from different restoration companies?+
First Choice Restoration explains that insurance carriers, adjusters, and restoration professionals use a third party pricing system called Xactimate to determine industry standard rates, so multiple estimates are generally not necessary.
Do I have to wait for adjuster to come out before I call you out?+
First Choice Restoration advises that timely response is critical and does not require waiting for an adjuster before beginning mitigation work.
Do you need my claim number before beginning work?+
First Choice Restoration does not need the claim number to begin restoration services but requires it before job completion for insurance billing.
Do I need to move out of my property during the restoration process?+
First Choice Restoration recommends discussing relocation with the insurance adjuster and notes noise and safety concerns as factors to consider.
First choice was beyond amazing, from their professionalism to their outstanding manners. They were quick to respond to my family's needs, and provide fast reliable service. I would hire them for any and all my needs, trusting that the job would be done right the first time. The companies name couldn't be more accurate to my opinion of them from now on always being my first choice. Thank you Barry and Rob for giving my family the peice of mind that our house will be taken care from start to finish. Truly amazing people/company.

5" of water in my basement on a Sunday. By the time we got the sump pump working the mold had already started covering the walls .First Choice came as soon as we called them on Monday and got rid of the mold and damaged walls. By the time they finished, the basement smelled fresh and everything was dry. Great people to work with and fabulous job of restoration. Many thanks!

We had an incredibly difficult project to conquer - filling in our concrete pool. After searching for someone to fix it for almost a year, we came across First Choice Restoration. Not only did they complete our project extremely quickly, they were very friendly and easy to work with throughout the entire project. They also were extremely thorough with cleaning up even after the project was completed. We will absolutely be reaching out to First Choice Restoration for any other projects that we may have and will certainly be recommending them to others. This was no easy feat but they completed the project better than we could’ve asked for. Tha...We had an incredibly difficult project to conquer - filling in our concrete pool.

Barry is great to work with and gave us an honest assessment for mold remediation. Rob was our assigned mold remediation expert and he takes his work seriously. Their team did an awesome job of cleaning up our attic and getting rid of the mold spores.
I reached out to Barry about some more problem areas we were concerned about and he offered to have his team come out again for no charge.
I was really impressed with First Choice and would gladly do business with them again. I highly recommend them if you are seeking out mold remediation or water damage cleanup.
