Hour 4 to 6Understanding the cost
We review with you the written restoration scope and price before you approve the job. These examples show what may change the estimate.
| Common situation | What the estimate may include | Typical range |
|---|---|---|
| Emergency dispatch and first visit stabilization, one room | During our assessment, national estimate. As our specialists document the loss, covers dispatch, hazard control, extraction of a single wet room and drying equipment set the same visit. | $800 to $2,500 |

Crew size and hours on the first visit

Hazard control work
