A General Contractor deals with new construction and the remodeling of a home, both interior and exterior, usually, for cosmetic purposes. Most General Contractors don’t have the experience or knowledge needed to deal with insurance companies. If you are looking to have your kitchen remodeled or your basement finished, a General Contractor is the best fit for you. General Contractors are licensed through the state of Michigan. When Choosing A General Contractor you should look up their license on the State of Michigan Website. VERIFY A LICENSE
Michigan Restoration Contractors deal with the insurance companies on a daily basis and pretty much anything that has been damaged due to fire, wind, water, hail, etc. Restoration Contractors also hold a General Contractor license though the state of Michigan, they just specialize in dealing with the insurance companies and working with damaged material instead of new. A lot of what Restoration Contractors do is Damage assessment, this is probably the biggest one, they know what to look for when a disaster strikes and they find hidden damage and make sure the insurance company sees and pays for the damage. The second and most important differance between a Genaral and Restoration Contractor is, insurance claim negotiations, they will make sure you get a fair price for your claim in order for the property to be restored topre=loss condition or better.
These are just some of the differences you need to look for when figuring out how you want to go about getting your house restored after a disaster or your looking to make some improvements . If your property has been damaged call a Restoration Contractor and if your looking make make improvements call a General Contractor.
