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.
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.
You need to remember that the items that end up going on the “destroyed list” and put into a contractor bag bound for the dump are more than just “things.”
