Airborne residue from a fire can keep irritating your lungs well after the flames are out.
Forest Hill, TX insurers typically expect documented mitigation started within a set window, or coverage can get disputed.

The number we quote after inspection is the number on the final invoice, barring written change orders you approve.
Reconstruction work is covered against defects for a full year after completion.
You won't be bounced between five different subcontractors on this job.
A guarantee is only as good as the scope it's attached to, which is why we spend extra time getting the initial Forest Hill inspection right rather than rushing to a number.
