You need to realize that there is a little more liability when dealing with food that is potentially contaminated than other household items.

It really doesn't matter whether the house is clean and sparsely furnished or if a stage four hoarder lives there - the way you handle each job is basically the same.

FRSTeam has announced the sale of FRSTeam of Utah to its original owner, according to a press release. 

FRSTeam has announced the addition of its 57^th franchise, FRSTeam of Greater New York, which will service the Bronx, Nassau, Suffolk, Kings, New York, Queens, Richmond and Westchester counties and their surrounding areas.

I am not telling you to stay out of reconstruction. But I want you to go into it, if you decide it’s a good fit for you and your business, for the right reasons.

If you’re in the restoration industry like our team is, you know how tough it can be to remove mold and mildew from soft items, from furniture upholstery to stuffed animals.

Normally these companies charge a percentage of the total amount of the scope of repairs, but I have heard of them charging by the scope in some cases.

 Logging destroyed items without a good system in place can definitely create a huge mess in a hurry. This is the part of the job that not only affects the homeowner the most financially, but emotionally as well. 

I charge by the item and according to value. For average everyday items, I charge by the hour using several different labor rates from Xactimate. 

First off, you need to take into consideration the item and its value to the homeowner.
