WHAT IS A “PREFERRED CONTRACTOR”
Insurance companies are similar to you. They want to know who is going to repair the damages to your property and stand behind the work that is done. What many insurance companies have implemented is a ‘Preferred Contractor’ program, with demanding qualifications for contractors, to ensure they can give their insureds (you) the best possible service and price.
The Insurance company’s network of pre-screened, pre-approved contractors and vendors is to ensure that you have access to the finest emergency restoration and rebuild operations due to floods, water damage, fire, smoke, hail, wind or other unfortunate incidents.
Using a Preferred Contractor means you have professionally trained and certified personnel who are committed to properly and efficiently doing the emergency restoration, remediating and rebuilding your home or business property and contents.
To become a preferred contractor, a review is conducted of the contractor’s capacity as a company and their customer service record. They also have to show that they carry the necessary business insurance and workers compensation coverages.
Preferred contractors are reviewed and audited on a regular basis to ensure they are meeting Insurance companies demands of high customer service level. Ultimately the
choice is yours.
