BELFOR Property Restoration
BELFOR Property Restoration handles disaster restoration and reconstruction for residential, commercial, and industrial property. It is one of the companies operated by BELFOR Holdings, Inc., and describes itself as the world's largest disaster restoration company, headquartered in Birmingham, Michigan.
Work spans the whole loss: emergency board-up and site containment, water removal, extraction, and dehumidification, smoke damage and soot removal, mold removal and remediation, flood and storm damage cleanup, and general contracting and reconstruction to put the building back. Specialty services cover contents restoration, document and media freeze drying and recovery, asbestos and lead paint abatement, biohazard cleaning, air duct cleaning, and industrial shrink wrap.
Technical services go beyond buildings: electronic restoration, equipment and machinery repair, rebuild, and decontamination, semiconductor equipment decontamination, commercial disinfection, and marine and offshore restoration. Named sectors include hotels, restaurants, and casinos, senior and assisted living, hospitals and healthcare, schools, libraries and archives, data centers, financial institutions, government and public entities, industrial and manufacturing, and retail and distribution.
For businesses it runs the RED ALERT priority response program and a National Insurance Direct Repair Program, under which each BELFOR office estimates to a carrier's criteria and repairs policyholders' property. A 24-hour emergency hotline runs on 800-856-3333 and the site has an office locator. Pricing is not published; ask whether your loss will run through the insurance direct-repair program or be contracted directly.
