Understanding Furniture & Cabinetry Disaster Restoration
How does a repair or restoration of furniture and cabinetry qualify as disaster restoration?
When cabinet or furniture damage (also known as “loss”) occurs outside of a policyholder’s control, the resulting repairs qualify as disaster restoration. Loss could occur from water leaks from appliances or burst pipes, fires, storms, burglary, vandalism, mold and more.
What’s the difference between disaster mitigation and disaster restoration?
Disaster mitigation, which usually involves cleaning up and drying out after water or fire damage, stops further damage from occurring. This may include boarding up windows, structurally securing a roof or adding a protective tarp to prevent more damage due to the disaster. However, no repair or restoration is completed.
Disaster restoration, on the other hand, repairs and restores the impacted space to pre-loss condition or better. Furniture Medic’s trained and certified technicians get your policyholders back to normal at home or at work by restoring cabinetry and furniture.
What do furniture and cabinetry disaster restoration companies do?
After a major disaster strikes a home or business, including fire, flood, accident or act of vandalism, the biggest priority you and your policyholders is to get that back into their restored space safely and quickly. Unfortunately, these types of disasters can wreak havoc on wood furniture, millwork and cabinetry, particularly excess water and smoke. The good news? Often, these items may not need to be totally replaced.
Trained Furniture Medic restoration experts can repair water- and smoke-damaged cabinets, furniture, doors, floors and millwork from color-matching to structural stability and everything in between. Furniture Medic even offers a best-in-class Emergency Cabinet Removal (ECR) service which safely removes only affected cabinets and braces countertops in place to increase habitability. This salvages the countertops and unaffected cabinets and avoids costly replacement.
