Credentials, verifiable

Restoration is a licensed trade in Texas. Ask any contractor for these numbers before they touch your property: ours are listed so you can check them.

IICRC Certified Firm

The industry's certifying body for water, fire and mold restoration. Our technicians hold WRT (water), ASD (structural drying) and FSRT (fire and smoke restoration).

Firm ID on request · verify at iicrc.org

Mold work, done to Texas rules

Texas requires a TDLR license for mold projects of 25 contiguous square feet or more. We clean up smaller areas ourselves; larger projects are performed by an independent TDLR-licensed remediation contractor, and we handle the drying and rebuild.

Verify any mold license at tdlr.texas.gov

TDSHS Asbestos Abatement

Licensed abatement for older structures, with surveys and air clearance by an independent licensed consultant, so a surprise finding doesn't halt your rebuild for weeks.

License # · verify with Texas DSHS

Insured & bonded

General liability and workers' compensation in force. Certificates of insurance are provided to property managers and carriers on request.

COI available on request

Why we started answering the phone ourselves

Fourteen years of North Texas losses, and the one rule that came out of it.

Inside the company

Training days, the equipment bay, and the community events we show up to when nothing is broken.

Operations Manager

Runs scheduling, crews and job communication, so you always know who is coming and when.

How we work, and what we won't do

Restoration has a reputation problem, mostly earned by storm-chasers. These are our standing rules.

No phone quotes for unseen work

Anyone pricing a loss they haven't inspected is guessing, and the guess always gets revised upward.

No demolition before documentation

Photos, meter readings and a scope come first. Cut too early and your carrier has nothing to pay against.

No assessing our own mold work

Texas keeps those roles separate for a reason. On projects of 25+ sq ft, an independent licensed consultant writes the protocol and a TDLR-licensed remediator performs it.

No handing your job to strangers

The crew that dries your house is the crew that rebuilds it. One company, one warranty, one phone number.
