Common questions about costs and estimates for this service.
Conduct a detailed room-by-room walkthrough, taking photos and making an itemized list. This process helps determine the number of boxes, packing materials, and labor hours needed. For larger homes, volumetric calculations (e.g., cubic feet) can provide a more precise estimate.
For highly valuable or sensitive items, it's best to consult with or sub-contract specialized restorers. Ensure these items are clearly documented, photographed, and packed with appropriate, protective materials. Verify insurance coverage for these items before commencing work.
It's wise to include a contingency in your bid, typically 10-15% of the total project cost, to cover unexpected issues like hidden damage, additional cleaning requirements, or extended storage needs. Clearly communicate this contingency to the client and explain its purpose.
Many restoration companies often offer integrated packout and contents restoration services, covering inventory, packing, removal, cleaning, and storage. Bundling these services can sometimes be more cost-effective and streamlined for the customer, as one company handles the entire process.
Most homeowners' insurance policies with personal property coverage will cover the costs of packout, cleaning, restoration, and storage of damaged contents, especially following covered perils like fire, water, or storm damage. The property owner's policy usually covers the work, meaning there are often no out-of-pocket costs for the policyholder.
