What Our Customers Have to Say
Laura N.
Having a disaster in your home is never fun. Major water leak which got taken care of by Robins Plumbing (fantastic, very professional and did a fantastic job). Chris told us what we needed to do, who to contact. Here comes some great guys from National First Response. The guys are great, got to the demolitions right away. Very professional, polite. Answered every question with what was to happen next. Got the ball rolling and did a GREAT JOB! Highly recommend! 
Highly recommend National First Response! Post a sewage and water backup they came in and repaired our bathroom and did a great job. Everything looks new and we’re very happy. They were on time, professional and made sure it was perfectJohn P.
We were referred to National First Response when we had a major plumbing disaster in our home. From start to finish, this company was spot on with their service, professionalism, and care! Eric was always super responsive, and the workers could not have been better! It was a massive undertaking with a lot of moving parts, and they helped us each step of the way including assisting us with all the insurance claims. That help alone deserved them a 5 star rating! I would give them 100 stars if it let me!Jacquelyn G.

Renae C. Josh was at our home this morning to repair something damaged by another company. He did an amazing job! He was friendly, polite and paid attention to detail.
- Seana S. These guys are so awesome! Friendly, to the point, straightforward, straight shooters, won't screw you around, do what they say they do and do it well. They're currently fixing a flood for me due to a plumbing company's incompetent/lazy workers not being able to correctly diagnose a simple leak. My drywall, floor and carpet was sitting in water for 7 days and they came in with their mold guns and are now vibrating the water molecules out of my walls with huge fans and retesting with their mold guns.

Vinnie was awesome in getting things started and insuring that all necessary precautions were taken to preventing any mold , Vinnie also was very helpful with expediting the seal up of my bathroom walls in order to keep the outside elements outside.
Ahmad and Alan were also outstanding in the demo work they performed. These guys really brought awesome customer service and attitude to the job which was very reassuring to me the customer. They were clean and thorough in their process of removing damaged sheet rock and insulation.
The gentlemen responsible for sealing up my , who's names I forgot, were also outstanding and very empathetic to my concerns with getting my bathroom wall sealed so as to keep all the elements outside during peak heat of the summer. They too were very thourouh in the the sheet rock restoration work they performed.
All in all I highly recommend these guys because they also do a great job dealing directly with my insurance (State Farm) as well. According to State Farm they do come highly recommended because the insurance company rarely deals with oversights with National first response. read less
- After my entire home flooded, National First Response made a difficult situation a pleasant experience. From my Project Manager Cory to the trade workers, (Jeremy, Casey, Steve and the others I didn't get to meet in person) all were professional, did great work, were patient with my requests/questions and even cleaned up after themselves! They kept on schedule and offered excellent recommendations for other services I needed (furniture restoration and even camping tips!). I highly recommend them and would use them again!Trish H.
- The roofing team was expert in making my new roof a reality! (And in making it ready for solar panels.). The repairing and restoring water-damaged area team's work inside my house was professional and expert! Thank you for such awesome service and such pleasant results!Catherine G.
- The project manager, and all of the crew were excellent! No problems at all & would recommend them to anyone!Chris T.
- Kim L. Absolutely the best company I have worked with. They were very timely, meticulous and friendly. Every single thing was done perfectly. Eric was especially friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend them!
- We were very pleased with Eric's knowledge, follow-up on questions and diligence sourcing materials. Client satisfaction was a clear focus.Wayne W.
- National First Response is a fantastic company. Eric gave suggestions and was always quick to respond. The workers were efficient, skilled and friendly. The office managers were sweet and highly knowledgeable as well as efficient. I could not have had a better experience. I highly recommend them.Laura R.
- Chris and his crew at National First Response are top notch. Our family lost our home in January due to a fire, and Chris was there from day one to help us restore it to an even more beautiful place to live. He and his men are detailed, honest, and very easy to work with, which made it much easier for me during such a challenging time. I can't say enough about Chris and his immaculate work ethic-it made all the difference in my experience. Thank you National First Response-you are THE BEST!Dance F.
- I had a water leak coming into my bedroom floor from an unknown source. Two plumbers could not diagnose the source. National First was able to come up with a plan to find the leak. Under the window they opened up a section of the sheetrock of the wall beneath the window. Water was sprayed outside of the window and some leaks were verified coming in below the window. Apparently, a few weeks earlier I had a bad rain storm and the wind was forcing the rain to come in below the window.

National First was able to come up with a plan to find the leak. Under the window they opened up a section of the sheetrock of the wall beneath the window. Water was sprayed outside of the window and some leaks were verified coming in below the window. Apparently, a few weeks earlier I had a bad rain storm and the wind was forcing the rain to come in below the window. It was determined that the WINDOW SEAL had failed or that there was not one installed. The plan was to pull out the window, reseal the window, reinstall it, re-sheetrock the open space, repaint the room, re-stucco the outside wall around the window, and repaint the outside wall. The carpet and carpet pad were replaced. It took several weeks to coordinate different contractors to perform all the specialty work. I was very pleased with the craftmanship and detail the workers did on the whole project. The estimate for the repair was right on spot. I had a few extra expenses for work I requested to be done that was not in the original estimate. I would recommend National First for any job relating to home repair. read lessSteven B.
- Will F. When it comes to the service industry it is obviously very hard to please every single customer. Especially if those customers are in crisis mode and their house is flooded and need to find a hotel where them and there animals can stay for however long it takes to get back to 100%... These guys do a phenomenal job with restoring your home back to 100% . Their crew was there there within 30 minutes of my call which is amazing response time and had everything moving with a really good game plan immediately. Thank you National First Response!
- Chris and his crew were outstanding resources in helping to restore our son's home following a fire. While another company did the major clean-up and clearing out the charred materials, Chris and his crew performed the vast majority of the rebuild - and we wish we had given the entire project to them. We loved working with Chris and his crew, the communication was excellent, they came in on budget and they did a fantastic job. Thanks to all the staff of National First Response that worked on our projectPhil P.
- Ian B. So lets preface this review by the fact that Insurance is the biggest hurdle and annoyance in this process. NFR (Eric) stood by us every day as we waited to see what insurance was going to cover. He contacted the adjuster and worked to get items missed in the original adjustment covered. Unfortunately insurance slowed the process down and what should have been a demo and repair in a week took almost 2 months, uggghhhh. NFR performed a professional demo and repair at a reasonable rate and in a timely manner. Thank you.
- The entire First Response team was both professional and educational in their repair of my water heater problem. My unit 'blew' and the team responded with quick service and repair of the damaged area...advising me of the process every step of the way......and they we always on time. They wore their masks, as expected, and did a complete and thorough job. Nicely done!!!James S.

- Talia C. The best!!! My relationship with company began a few weeks ago when my plumber (Robins Plumbing excellent) identified that our dishwasher was leaking into our kitchen island.
I am a PA and am acutely aware of the dangers of mold. I was instantly terrified. Robins recommended National First Response because of the care they give their customers, and I couldn't agree more.
I called NFR immediately and spoke with Christina. She is a new team member, but you would never know it. Knowledgeable, accommodating, kind. The company was slammed due to recent heavy rains.

I called NFR immediately and spoke with Christina. She is a new team member, but you would never know it. Knowledgeable, accommodating, kind. The company was slammed due to recent heavy rains. Initially, she told me they were booked out a few days. I was very distraught about my family's safety. She reached out to Vinnie, and I had someone from mitigation at my house in hours.
Demo started the next day. As you may know, working with home owner's insurance can be a long road. I have called the main office and spoken directly to Christina and Brandi and managers like Vinnie and Eric on MANY occasions. They are beyond friendly and always willing to answer my many questions. They go above and beyond.
Donny and his team are currently rebuilding by island. They, too, are wonderful. All skilled, good communicators, and working with a smile. I can't tell you how nice it is to work with people that don't make you feel like a burden.

The entire company was at my service the entire ordeal... thanks to Vinnie also.
- Tracy C. After an AC unit replacement, the trim on the attic needed to be replaced. Precision Air and Heating uses National First Response to complete the finishing work. Josh arrived on time, was very personable and did an outstanding job replacing the attic trim. Hopefully I'll never have a household emergency, but if I do, I will certainly contact National First Response.
- Every person I interacted with at National First Response was professional, responsive and competent. The project manager, Cory Schmitz guided me through the entire complicated process. That means a lot, especially when an insurance company is involved. When there was a mistake, (We all make mistakes from time to time.) Cory made sure he fixed it with a minimum of inconvenience for me. The craftsmen, especially Jeremy, who put our kitchen back together, matched Cory's degree of quality work and customer service. I wholly recommend National First Response!Russ L.
- Amanda B. We have used this company three separate occasions and all three experiences were very above and beyond our expectations. Steve who has done drywall repair in our house twice now is by far the best drywaller I have ever seen. It is really hard to find quality craftsmanship but Steve really pays attention to close detail and can match any texture, he is a true drywall artist.

Hope your bosses really know how important your part is !!!
- I done a lot of research before going with National first response. I received 7 quotes, and everyone was trying to charge me more money for my roof replacement. I’m happy how fast they completed the job and made sure they took care of all my damage wood trim before installing the shingles. They also removed the gutters for no extra charge. There communication level was exceptional, and they finished 1 day early. I would recommend them to anyone looking to have their roof replaced or repaired.Sam J.

I have been a plumbing contractor for more than 20 years and I have seen a lot of floods and a lot of restoration companies in my day. The majority of them are out for a quick buck and fake damage just so they can bull their insurance.
Not this company! They are the absolute opposite. I have seen them choose to do the right thing over and over and over again as they educate their clients on options and actually try to save them money. This company is more concerned about the welfare of their client than they are their pocket book and that is why they are the company I refer with confidence. I know that my client will get their house back as quickly as humanly possible and I have put them in the hands of someone I would unequivocally use in my own home. read less

Bottom Line: The work was professional and it was completed quickly, the roofers showed up on time, worked hard and well together, cleaned up after themselves; everybody was efficient and polite. Best of all, the contract I signed specified that NFR Roofing Division would do the work needed to replace my roof for the amount my insurance company authorized, and that my only cost would be my insurance deductible. They were true to their word. I couldn’t be happier with my experience with Brandon Clayton at National First Response Roofing, and I love my roofing replacement! read less

Brandon was a huge asset, helping me to understand and negotiate the insurance claim process.
Bottom Line: The work was professional and it was completed quickly, the roofers showed up on time, worked hard and well together, cleaned up after themselves; everybody was efficient and polite. Best of all, the contract I signed specified that NFR Roofing Division would do the work needed to replace my roof for the amount my insurance company authorized, and that my only cost would be my insurance deductible. They were true to their word. I couldn’t be happier with my experience with Brandon Clayton at National First Response Roofing, and I love my roofing replacement! read less - Phil P.- GoogleChris and his crew were outstanding resources in helping to restore our son's home following a fire. While another company did the major clean-up and clearing out the charred materials, Chris and his crew performed the vast majority of the rebuild - and we wish we had given the entire project to them. We loved working with Chris and his crew, the communication was excellent, they came in on budget and they did a fantastic job. Thanks to all the staff of National First Response that worked on our project
- Dance F.- GoogleChris and his crew at National First Response are top notch. Our family lost our home in January due to a fire, and Chris was there from day one to help us restore it to an even more beautiful place to live. He and his men are detailed, honest, and very easy to work with, which made it much easier for me during such a challenging time. I can't say enough about Chris and his immaculate work ethic-it made all the difference in my experience. Thank you National First Response-you are THE BEST!

National First was able to come up with a plan to find the leak. Under the window they opened up a section of the sheetrock of the wall beneath the window. Water was sprayed outside of the window and some leaks were verified coming in below the window. Apparently, a few weeks earlier I had a bad rain storm and the wind was forcing the rain to come in below the window. It was determined that the WINDOW SEAL had failed or that there was not one installed. The plan was to pull out the window, reseal the window, reinstall it, re-sheetrock the open space, repaint the room, re-stucco the outside wall around the window, and repaint the outside wall. The carpet and carpet pad were replaced. It took several weeks to coordinate different contractors to perform all the specialty work. I was very pleased with the craftmanship and detail the workers did on the whole project. The estimate for the repair was right on spot. I had a few extra expenses for work I requested to be done that was not in the original estimate. I would recommend National First for any job relating to home repair. read less

They too were very thourouh in the the sheet rock restoration work they performed.

I have been a plumbing contractor for more than 20 years and I have seen a lot of floods and a lot of restoration companies in my day. The majority of them are out for a quick buck and fake damage just so they can bull their insurance.
Not this company! They are the absolute opposite. I have seen them choose to do the right thing over and over and over again as they educate their clients on options and actually try to save them money. This company is more concerned about the welfare of their client than they are their pocket book and that is why they are the company I refer with confidence. I know that my client will get their house back as quickly as humanly possible and I have put them in the hands of someone I would unequivocally use in my own home. read less - Donna C.- GoogleOur church had wind and water damage that leaked into the building... a new roof was much needed... it was an old roof.

WATER DAMAGE Restoration
Water damage can often be caused by severe weather, a burst or leaking water line, or a sewage pipe leak. Water damage left untreated will often lead to more extensive damage and soon turn to bio-hazardous bacteria and mold. National First Response's trained specialists are on call 24/7 for emergency water damage repair and water restoration services. We are experienced professionals at minimizing damage with state-of-the-art equipment and techniques to dry out and extract water.
National First Response is a residential and commercial emergency provider offering a broad range of emergency and non-emergency services. Whether it’s water or mold removal, repairing floodwater damage to property, we fully guarantee every remediation and restoration job we do.
There is a lot of confusion about what types of water damage are covered under a water loss insurance policy. Property is insured in two main ways, open perils and named perils. Open perils cover all the causes of loss not specifically excluded in the policy. Named perils required the actual cause of loss to be listed in the policy for insurance to be provided. The more common named perils include such damage-causing events as fire, lightning, explosion, and theft.

Fire and Smoke Restoration
Few events are as traumatic, or as damaging, as a fire in your home. With even the smallest fire, you must contend with not only the immediate damage of the fire and smoke to your home, furnishings and personal property, but also the loss of the sense of security and comfort so important to transforming a house into a home. After the fire department has left and the flames extinguished, National First Response can start to rebuild your home and peace of mind.
Fire Damage
There is not much confusion about fires being covered under an insurance policy. Property fire loss is insured in two main ways, open perils and named perils. Open perils cover all the causes of loss not specifically excluded in the policy. Named perils required the actual cause of loss to be listed in the policy for insurance to be provided. The more common named perils include such damage causing events as fire, lightning, explosion, and theft.
Most fires are often referred to as “partial losses” because the home has only been partially destroyed. However, there are typically hidden damages caused by water or retardant to extinguish the fire and smoke and ash as a residual effect of the fire. It is important to shut down all ventilation systems and open all windows and doors to evacuate smoke.
In most cases, the insurance carrier is responsible to return your property to a “uniform and consistent appearance” as it was prior to the effects of the fire. Do not throw away any damaged property, leave it as it is and where it is until the fire marshal has completed his investigation. If you or a resident of your property has health sensitivities such as allergies or asthma, stay away from the property until remediation is complete. Smoke, soot and odor mitigation will eliminate future health concerns.
Coverage for the cost of landscaping replacement is typically a set amount or a percentage of your dwelling coverage amount. Experience has shown us that plants and landscaping affected by fire and smoke, return with time more vibrant than before. Odors are usually eliminated after a seasonal rain shower or two.
Coverage becomes a concern if you live on a hillside, loss of foliage from a fire can lead to landslides and/or mudslides in rainy conditions. It is important to quickly replant your property with native trees and grasses to stabilize the landscape. Sandbags or other storm water prevention systems are recommended until the replaced foliage takes root. Review your policy limitations with your insurance agent in this scenario.

Smoke Damage
There is a lot of confusion about smoke damages being covered under an insurance smoke loss policy. Property is insured in two main ways, open perils and named perils. Open perils cover all the causes of loss not specifically excluded in the policy. Named perils required the actual cause of loss to be listed in the policy for insurance to be provided. The more common named perils include such damage causing events as fire, lightning, explosion, and theft. Smoke damage is a covered peril in most homeowner policies.
Although a fire may have been contained to a small area, like a kitchen or laundry room, the smoke created from that fire often travels throughout a home. Smoke contains microparticles of corrosive acids—and potentially all manner of toxins in a house fire—that attach to virtually every surface in your home. As time passes, those acids eat away at whatever they are attached to, causing plastics to dry and yellow, countertops to stain, metals to tarnish, furniture finishes to erode, glass and crystal to pit, and clothing, carpeting and upholstery to permanently stain.

Storm Damage Restoration
Nature has a way of showing us from time to time that it holds the real power on this Earth. When a storm in the United States rages at full strength—be it a thunderstorm, hailstorm, tornado or hurricane—the effect can be devastating to our homes and personal possessions. Water and wind can combine to tear shingles from rooftops, tear siding from walls, flood interiors, knock down trees, break windows and pummel air conditioners.
National First Response stops the water from creating more damage, and begins to restore your possessions and home, returning them to the condition they were in before the water came.

Hail Damage
Hail can do a surprising amount of damage in little time, and if that damage isn’t quickly addressed it can cause expensive problems in the future—a damaged roof is sure to leak and also be that much more susceptible to more storm damage.
Hail damage can be tricky to document, so it’s important to get your home inspected quickly by a professional. Insurance companies require very specific information on the extent of the damage, often requiring a minimum number of hail strikes on a roof before they will authorize repairs.
Monsoon Damage
The East and Gulf coasts have hurricanes, the Midwest has tornados and the Southwest is prone to powerful monsoons, or giant monsoons known as haboobs.
These short-lived weather events are characterized by high winds, heavy rain and blowing dust. Winds in these events—which arrive in the Southwest from July to September—can exceed 50 miles per hour and can tear shingles off roofs, exposing a home’s interior to rain and flooding. It’s important to address flooding quickly before mold and mildew establish themselves.
Floor Damage vs. Rain Damage
Most homeowners in the United States have a standard homeowner’s policy, which provides coverage for water damage but only before the water comes in contact with the ground.
Water damage that would typically be covered in a standard homeowner’s policy includes:
- Hail pellets smash your windows, allowing rain to enter your home.
- A heavy rain soaks through your roof, allowing water to get into your attic and ceiling.
- A broken water pipe spews water throughout your kitchen.
What would not be covered, unless you have additional flood insurance would be:
- nearby river overflows and washes into your home.
- Surface water seeps into the basement because the soil can no longer absorb the heavy rain.
- A flash flood causes the hill next to your house to collapse, causing a mud slide that inundates your property.
To determine if your home is located in a flood plain, contact your local county planning office, which has maps that show areas designated as flood zones.

Biohazard and Asbestos Cleanup And Disposal
We complete a visual examination of suspected materials and carefully collect samples for lab analysis. If a biohazard is present, we provide a written evaluation describing its location and extent of damage and write a protocol for clean up and disposal. If asbestos is present, we provide a written evaluation describing its location and extent of damage and write a protocol for correction, restoration, and prevention. Once again, material in good condition need not be sampled for asbestos unless it is likely to be disturbed.
Bio-Hazard Cleanup
Any biological substance that poses a threat to you or your family’s health can be considered a bio-hazard. A biohazard can range from the smallest microorganism to a human body or animal body. Removal of a biohazard is often unpleasant work, but National First Response technicians and Disaster Response Team members are versed in the proper procedures for biohazard removal and follow them to the letter. Improper disposal of biohazards can not only place you and your family in jeopardy, but can put everyone as risk.
Biohazards include:
- Sewage backup – The smell from sewage backup is a nuisance, but it’s the microorganisms in the sewage that represent a real danger.
- Blood-borne pathogens – Bodily fluids, tissue and other pathogenic substances that contaminate a home as a result of accident, trauma, crime or death can endanger you.
- Methamphetamine labs – The chemicals used in the production of this horrific drug are volatile and leave a dangerous residue throughout a home.
Biohazard Clean Up
National First Response technicians are trained to remove biohazardous waste and dispose of them in accordance with the standard set forth by local health codes, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the Clean Trust (formerly known as the IICRC, the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration. Wearing safety suits and breathing apparatus, and employing the latest cleaning equipment and products, our technicians will completely remove all biohazardous waste, will clean, disinfect and deodorize the structure so that the environment is once again safe, clean and habitable.ASBESTOS TESTING AND REMEDIATION
Most products made today do not contain asbestos. Those few products made which still contain asbestos that could be inhaled are required to be labeled as such. However, until the 1970s, many types of building products and insulation materials used in homes contained asbestos.
Some common building products that might contain asbestos include:
However, if the suspected item shows signs of wear, tears, abrasions or water damage, then isolate the item (meaning close the space off) and contact National First Response. A member of our Disaster Response Team can more thoroughly seal off the item until it can be confirmed with lab test to, in fact, be asbestos. Our Clean Trust-certified technicians will suggest either permanently sealing the asbestos item or carefully removing the item altogether and clearing the impacted area of any contaminates using an air scrubber and other cleaning equipment. Whichever course of action, you’ll be left with the peace of mind knowing that asbestos will no longer threaten the health of you or your family.
When asbestos is disturbed—by crumbling, flaking, sanding, cutting or sawing—it creates a fibrous dust that, if inhaled in high levels, can lead to an increased risk of lung cancer, mesothelioma and asbestosis. Inhaled fibers can remain in the lungs for years before creating health problems.
Take all precautions to avoid damaging asbestos material. Never sweep, dust, or vacuum debris that may contain asbestos. Also, don’t saw, sand, scrape, or drill holes in asbestos. Local EPA officials can provide more information about asbestos identification, sealing or removal.

- Boilers
- Furnace ducts
- Resilient floor tiles
- Vinyl sheet flooring
- Cement sheet

- Door gaskets
- Soundproofing or decorative material
- Patching and joint compound
- Textured paints
- Asbestos cement roofing

Disaster Response Team
If you suspect that a portion of your home contains asbestos, then, first off, leave it alone. Asbestos is only dangerous when disturbed and it releases fibers.However, if the suspected item shows signs of wear, tears, abrasions or water damage, then isolate the item (meaning close the space off) and contact National First Response.

PROPERTY RESTORATION
Restoring a property means, quite literally, to make new again. You can trust National First Response when it comes time to bring back your property to a former, original, or alike state of existence and soundness. The period of restoration ends at the time when you are able to resume the use of your property as you had used it before.
Site Securitization
Securing your home after it’s been impacted by fire or water is a critical step towards its restoration. A fully secured home—whether that means boarding up windows, installing a temporary fence or an alert system—is far less vulnerable to additional damage that could be caused by the elements or criminal opportunists.
Often a fire or flood can leave your home uninhabitable, at least temporarily, and that forced separation can sometimes elevate your sense of uncertainty. National First Response begins to restore your peace by first securing your property. When we do that, you know that nothing else of yours is going to be lost.>
Emergency Response Team
When a flood or fire happens at your home, a member of our 24/7 Emergency Response Team will arrive within 60 minutes of your call to begin securing the site. Our experienced technicians will evaluate the situation, and put in place any and all equipment and services to secure your home. We will make sure that only you and the National First Response restoration team have access to your home and your personal property.

- Temporary perimeter fencing
- Building shrink wrap
- Emergency security personnel
- Emergency alarm service
- Window and door coverage
Better to be Secure
After the fire department or your plumber has dealt with the fire or flood, then you are faced with the question of what to do next. The best answer is to call a trusted restoration expert like National First Response. We draw from our experience of working on hundreds of restoration projects.
Content Management
In some fire or water disasters, properly restoring a property requires that the contents be removed from the structure. Removing the contents not only ensures that no further damage will occur to them, but also allows for more thorough and efficient restoration of the structure and the personal possessions.
Property Restoration
Sometimes the greatest damage that comes from a fire or flood isn’t to your home but rather what’s in the home, your personal possessions and furnishings. What can sometimes be damaged are one-of-a-kind items and family heirlooms that, for you, have a value that can’t be measured in dollars. Even when it seems like those items are beyond saving, our expert technicians with National First Response often can restore them to pre-loss condition.
Cleaning and Repairing
We apply the latest in cleaning and restoration techniques to restore your personal items so that we can save as much as we can. If an item can’t be restored, National First Response will include it on a detailed list of the unrecoverable items so you can be fully reimbursed by your insurance carrier.
We can restore just about any personal possession, such as:
- Furnishings
- Clothing
- Electronics
- Artwork
- Vital records
- Appliances
- Trophies
- Taxidermy
Disaster Response Team
Even more so than with your home, it’s important to begin the restoration process as quickly as possible to limit further damage and reverse the impact that the fire and smoke, or water and mold, has had on your personal possessions. Call National First Response any hour of any day with your emergency, and we will have someone from our 24/7 Disaster Response Team—an experienced and Clean Trust-certified technician—respond to you within 60 minutes.
Reconstruction
The first phase of the restoration process is about removing damaged structural elements and damaged items, and then cleaning the structure and personal possessions of any remaining acidic soot, water, mold or other contaminate. The final phase of the process is all about reconstruction—rebuilding and repairing those portions of your property damaged from the flood, fire or other event.
Expert and Skilled Craftsmen
Reconstruction is vastly different from building from the ground up, and requires different skills and experience than you will find with just any general contractor. The leadership of National First Response has more than 50 years of reconstruction experience, and will work closely with you to ensure that the reconstruction is exactly how you want it.
