Call +1-866-484-1409Every technician on our Garwood roster holds current IICRC fire and smoke restoration certification — the same credential adjusters look for when reviewing a claim file.
Because our crews work 07027 regularly, they already understand which Garwood permitting steps apply to fire reconstruction and roughly how long inspections take before drywall can go back up.

We coordinate directly with your adjuster on your behalf.
