The Best Fire & Water Damage Contractors in Grand Rapids MI Are the Ones Proven Safe To Hire

Residential fire & water damage repair companies in Grand Rapids Michigan must be licensed by the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA). No license is required at all for commercial fire/water damage restoration.  Those performing strictly as fire water damage clean up services do not need a license, provided they are not doing any repairs of the damage, nor any alterations by way of removing damaged sections of the home.  The work of fire, water, and flood damage repair is done under the state license designation of Maintenance & Alteration Contractors (M&A contractors). Those licensed after June 1 2008 had to complete 60 hours of prelicensure education and pass an exam.

No proof of liability insurance or workers comp insurance as protection for the consumer is required to get the state license, which is a significant issue since you will be on the hook for property damages or for worker injuries that occur on your property for those fire & water damage contractors who do not have coverage.

This makes it all the more significant that all contractors for water / fire damage restoration in Grand Rapids MI who bear The Prime Buyer's Report Top Ten symbol have been cleared by our research staff as passing all the requirements for Prime Buyer's Report Top Ten status such as research phone calls to previous customers to verify high satisfaction, proof of liability insurance and workers comp insurance for your protection, good complaint record, verified state license (for residential), only employees legal to work in the U.S., and more.
