Back to those concerns. There are many concerns to consider when choosing your wildfire demolition partner in Herald.
- Is the company adept at performing complete and partial demolition services
- Has the wildfire demolition company been offering these services in earnest long before the event, or are they simply trying to capitalize on the misfortunes of others?
- Does the demolition and fire debris removal company have the necessary equipment or access to the necessary equipment in the Herald area? Not only that, but do they have enough of the right equipment to meet the current demand of wildfire demolition and debris removal clients they currently have signed on?
- Will they continue to sign on clients after you sign your wildfire demolition contract, and if so, what is their position on your project in terms of equipment placed on property, and timing. Simply put, will they get in and handle your demolition once started without leaving and shuffling key equipment like excavators, dump trucks and dozers from job to job and back again. You need to make sure you don’t hire a company that will merely collect deposits from your insurance company or yourself and put you through the revolving door of on and off again work schedules.
- Does the fire damage demolition company you choose for your Herald property have the necessary staff to handle the workload at not only your property but all of the properties they are currently contracted to perform demolition and fire debris cleanup at?
- Wildfire demolition companies, or companies performing wildfire damage demolition and fire debris removal services in and around Herald need to carry liability insurance, make sure you obtain up to date copies of their liability insurance with enough to coverage to protect you. Even in situations of total losses, contractors can do damage to their equipment, can cause harm to people, power lines, and other unaffected structures and you want to make sure they have enough coverage to ensure your risk is mitigated. You may say to yourself that you have insurance to cover that, but the impact to your rating and policy costs, already set to increase from the wildfire damage, doesn’t increase even further.
- All wildfire demolition companies serving Herald and the entire State of California need to maintain workers comp insurance. Make sure their insurance is in full force for any employees they have on payroll. Sub-contracted workers are the responsibility of the sub-contractors, but you should at least obtain something in writing that the demolition company does it’s due diligence, to the best of it’s ability, to verify their sub-contractors note they have all the necessary insurances, ultimately you will rely on your contracted wildfire demolition and fire debris companies policy to back off your risk.
- Can the demolition company get to your project in a timely fashion so that you can get your life in Herald back in order? Or is there a long wait list. The reality is that during wildfire disaster events, there are waiting lists, and it’s best to get on a list asap so you can get your demolition and debris handled ASAP. Waiting to find someone with no waiting list isn’t always the best path forward as wildfire demolition companies worth anything will be busy from day one, those with immediate openings typically won’t be best of breed.
