The first check arrives from the mortgage company for the contractor and the restoration process is officially underway.
At this point the restoration company will get the appropriate permits pulled and finalize the demolition of anything else that will be required on the home.The structure cleaning for smoke and soot will be completed and the rest of the demolition will be completed at that time as well.
It is a good idea to have colors, cabinets, light fixtures and any other items selected. Having these items ready will help the process move along and not cause a delay in the restoration.
