When any of these events occur, it can be a good idea to contact your insurance company. If you have property insurance – home insurance or business insurance – the policy may cover some damage from a storm, fire, or other event in which an accidental or unavoidable occurrence created the damage. Not all cases are covered by insurance.
However, 5 Star Restoration Specialists works with you and your insurance company to handle any claims necessary. Our team is happy to provide a full assessment of the damage to your property. We can create a quote for your insurer to approve. And, we work alongside your insurance company to ensure the work is done properly and according to their standards. This helps ensure your coverage reduces any out-of-pocket expenses you have.
If you do not have insurance coverage, that’s okay. 5 Star Restoration Specialists offers competitive prices. We work closely with you to provide you with just the services you need, minimizing any risk that you will overpay for the care you need.

Flooding basements? Trouble with a broken water pipe? Our water damage restoration services are designed to help you quickly dry out your home or business. We offer water removal services to extract any standing water. We dry out the space, remove all damaged materials, and provide proper cleaning methods to minimize the risk of mold buildup.

As trusted licensed restoration specialists in our community, 5 Star Restoration Specialists are ready to handle a wide range of risks to your property. Few issues are as serious as mold, which can develop rapidly on surfaces that have been wet or even just damp for a short time. Because mold spreads so quickly, it requires proper and thorough treatment to protect your health and home. Our team offers comprehensive mold remediation using the latest tools and advanced techniques, ensuring your property is fully restored after any water damage.
A fire can create significant damage in just a matter of minutes. That is why our team provides fast, reliable, and complete cleanup after a fire occurs. This includes water damage removal, smoke and soot damage removal, and fire-damaged materials removal. We follow the same process of drying out the home, cleaning out all damaged materials, and minimizing the threat of mold buildup. In fires, smoke can be a key concern. This is why we also offer more comprehensive treatment options for your property. We help you restore your home or business to its pre-fire function in no time.
Wind is not often seen as a threat, but it can lead to complex problems and significant loss. A wind event, whether or not linked with water damage, can leave your building with significant damage. Our team handles the cleanup. This includes removing all aspects of debris from the property. It could be your roof or the tree in the backyard. We then work to clean and restore the functionality and the safety of the property. We can help you with most types of structural concerns, too.
