This motivates us to do the kind of work that will reflect positively on you! Your involvement is encouraged throughout the job process. Please contact us anytime, regarding questions you may have.
- Immediate response
- Providing your clients with a quick response is one of our most invaluable services. We offer immediate attention for emergency situations and are available 24 hours a day and seven days a week. We are committed to contacting your client within 24 hours for all non-emergencies. Estimators can be reached individually on their cell phones for job updates.
- Estimates
- Advanced Restoration utilizes one of the most common estimating databases used by insurance professionals. Repair estimates are available upon request and include quantities, unit prices, photographs, and a sketch of the area. All estimates are sent to the assigned insurance adjuster for approval.
- Scheduling
- Our estimators will handle the scheduling of all repairs. They will make an appointment with your client, review the damage to their property and answer any questions. The estimator will create a realistic timeline with your policyholder to coordinate job completion.
- Photographs
- Digital photographs are generated for each project. These images are emailed to the claims representative for review. Digital photos will be sent with the estimate to clarify the claim. Thermographic images can also be taken for detailing damage. These images can be sent to you upon request.
- Billing
- Unless otherwise specified, all invoices are sent to your client. While it is your policyholder’s responsibility to coordinate payment with their insurance provider, Advanced Restoration is happy to assist.
Safety Tips
There are three major business entities to protect in the event of a disaster: People, property, and production.
- People: Prepare your employees
- Provide accessible emergency contact information
- Communicate your disaster plan
- Have emergency supplies in the office and in each employee's vehicle
- Property: Prepare your building
- Bolt file cabinets and furniture to the walls or floor
- Store important computer data off-site
- Plan for at least one different location to hold business if yours is unavailable
- Make sure you have proper insurance
- Maintain vehicle safety
- Production: Prepare your business continuity
- Prevent upstream losses
- Upstream losses are losses suffered if your main supplier is affected by a disaster. If your agency relies on products or services by another company, you could experience upstream losses if that company cannot deliver. Expand your vendor options.
- Prevent downstream losses
- Downstream losses are losses that occur when your main customers in the community are affected. If your agency supplies products or services to a community or business that is shut down due to an earthquake, flood or fire, your sales will suffer and you will undergo a downstream loss.
- To minimize your company’s risk, be sure your contacts are prepared for upstream and downstream losses as well.
- Downstream losses are losses that occur when your main customers in the community are affected. If your agency supplies products or services to a community or business that is shut down due to an earthquake, flood or fire, your sales will suffer and you will undergo a downstream loss.
