Why should I choose American Response Team over a general contractor?
We specialize in insurance restoration, not remodels. Most general contractors don’t understand insurance estimating or how to negotiate on your behalf. We do and we use the same software (Xactimate) your adjuster uses, so there are no pricing surprises.
Are restoration services covered by insurance?
Can you bill my insurance company directly?
Absolutely. We submit:
- Detailed photos of the damage
- Moisture maps to uncover hidden issues
- A complete Xactimate estimate with line-by-line pricing
This ensures fast approval and smooth reimbursement.
What counts as an emergency?
If there’s risk to your health, safety, or structure, it’s an emergency. Call us for:
- Active flooding or water leaks
- Fire or smoke damage
- Sewer backups or biohazards
When in doubt—call. We’ll assess and advise right away.
How long does restoration take?
Mitigation (dry-out, cleanup) typically takes 3–7 days. Reconstruction can range from 2–6 weeks, depending on material availability and insurance delays. We keep you updated at every step.
Can I stay in my home during the work?
Do you clean personal belongings?
Yes. We offer contents cleaning, odor treatment, and secure offsite storage while we restore your home.
Do you do both cleanup and reconstruction?
Yes! We’re a turnkey contractor meaning we handle everything from demolition to drywall to final finishes. We even offer insurance claim support.
