FAQs
How long does the school restoration process take?
It depends on the extent of the damage and the size of the facility. Smaller projects may take a few days, while larger campus buildings could take several weeks. We’ll provide a clear timeline after our initial inspection.
Will the school need to close during restoration?
In some cases, yes—especially for safety reasons. We work efficiently to minimize downtime and can sometimes phase the work to keep parts of the school open when possible.
Are your restoration services covered by insurance?
For the most part, yes. We work directly with school districts, private institutions, and insurers to help process claims and ensure you're covered.
