We arent a one trick pony, we do the job from A-Z.
Start with securing the property with a 24/7 emergency board up. Dont accept the insurance companies low ball estimate, throw a certified general contractors estimate at them and watch that check book come back out. Rebuilding and code upgrades? Of course! But what makes your house your home? Your belongings, and we can fix that too! With an in house cleaning company, we specialize in removing smoke damage and can even try to help with some of your more personal priceless items that the insurance company wont care about, like photo albums. We will also help you catalogue your uncleanable posessions so the insurance company pays for them properly as well.
With years of experiance in general construction and disaster related construction, dealing with insurance companies and the ins and outs of every detail from when your disater strikes to getting you back into your home as if it never happend, you will be glad you had a contractor in your corner.
Ark Restoration is a family company, a family that has seen success several times in prior ventures in the construction industry. With a previous successful disaster restoration company in texas, to a residential and commercial framing company during the housing boom back in florida and even working in the corporate level with nation wide recognized names like Lennar homes, the Clark brothers have each had decades worth of experaince in different aspects of the construction industry, and have finally come together to from a single family business under one roof. Ark Restoration is guided by almost a centuries worth of experiance between the three of them, each with their own specialties, but all with the understanding of the job and knowing who should handle what to make the most effective use of each others experiance.
Ark Restoration as a company enjoys this unique asset and you as a customer can be assured that you will notice the difference dealing with a company that understands your problem from a professional view point. We understand how important it is to go above and beyond and impress, because the comminuty we work in is small, and word of mouth is a valuable resource. Other companies havent gotten the memo apparently.
Not every contractor knows how to rebuild after fire and smoke damage.
We specialize in thoroughly removing all damage done by structure fires. This is important, particulalry in Florida, the last thing you want is your home rebuilt by a contractor who "can" and then during the hot and moist summers for your home to start smelling like smoke and ash again as the trusses or studs inside your wall and attic start to get affected by the heat an moisture.
This has happened to clients of ours that have come to us in the past and explained what happend, only for us to open up the walls and find studs that havent been treated or cleaned properly, or even studs that should have been removed entirely but were overlooked by contractors trying to save money.
Our reputation is on the line, and our work is gauranteed, so even long after the rebuild is finished, you can rest assure that there won be any problems. What would happen if in a few years you decide you want to do some remodeling. Go and take a wall down and expose your home to contaminates from a fire that the insurance company paid to remove from your home. Its the insurance companies job to pay to return you to like kind and quality, prior to your loss and its your contractors job to make sure that the job is done properly so events like these dont occur in the future.
The contractor is going to get paid by the insurance compnay based on industry standard pay scales for work and material, so the cost of the contractor shouldnt be an issue, instead you should be concerned wether or not the contractor you choose has the experiance necassary to do the job properly. This isnt a normal rebuild, there will be opportunities to take shortcuts that may seem ok at the time, but we know what happens when these shortcuts are taken. We will make sure that the repairs made to your home have a lasting quality, as you would have expected your home to perform prior to the unfortunate incident in the first place.
Small leaks hidden in the walls to inches of water from an overflown toilet while your away from home.
Water damage requires special knowledge and quick action before it creates more problems in your home, like mold or rot. Beyond that, the job must be thorough, or mold may remain and even after all the repairs are made, you may have another epsiode where mold comes back.
Regarding mold, you have to remember that this isnt a job for just any "contractor" but you should carefully consider the credentials of anyone you choose to do the work. Ark Restoration has the specialized knowledge and skill set to deal with everyday regular mold and the really nasty harmfull mold as well. Knowing the difference changes everything.
As for the water damage itself, any contractor can simply paint over the damaged area, but your insurance covers you to pay for like kind and quality. Quality being the key word here, it may be in your best interest to remove dry wall, treat wall studs and anything else from a wide range of potential resolutions for getting your home whole again. Ark Restoration has several moisutre meters which are calibrated often to ensure a proper reading. These tools will help us determine if some areas of your home that were affected but not readily noticeable to the naked eye need attention as well. These arent $20 home depot do it youself moisture meters, these are professional caliber tools that pay dividends for our clients, when presenting the proof to the insurance company so they pay you properlly for the damage that you are insured for.
We leave no stone unturned and make sure your fully compensated so you can properly afford to do the repairs necassary. You would be suprised to learn how effective towards the bottom line it would be to have Ark Restoration involved to put an estimate of ours up against one written by the insurance companies adjuster. Remember, in the end, that adjuster works for the insurance company, not for you. We work for you and have no interest in helping the insurance company at all.
