Sometimes issues arise that basic carpet cleaning can’t handle. For example, years of untouched stains or acute flooding can severely damage your flooring. These problems call for the trusted carpet restoration services of a professional. If you’re looking for a carpet restoration expert to save your flooring, take a look at a few characteristics you should look for in a quality company.   

1. Certifications

The Institute of Inspection, Cleaning, and Restoration Certification (IICRC) is a nationwide organization comprised of hundreds of carpet restoration professionals, so be on the lookout for varying certifications based on your needs. For example, there is a specific fire and water damage restoration certificate. Within this same certificate are two levels of expertise. In other words, a company with more certificates has more advanced knowledge and training.

2. Licenses & Insurance 

Like many trades, a reputable carpet restoration company needs to be licensed to conduct business in your state. Further, you want to choose a company that holds its own liability and worker’s compensation insurance so that no injuries on the job could become your responsibility as the homeowner. While not a true insurance policy, you can also check if the company will guarantee their carpet repair for a period of time.

3. Experience & Reviews

While the certifications are a great place to begin your research, you can also check your local community for reviews on their performance. For example, you may find out that your neighbor was fully satisfied with a local company’s service after her basement flooded. Focusing on recent experience and reviews is particularly important if you cannot find a company that has been in business for many years.

Homeowners can typically find many options for their needed restoration service. Comparing the certifications, licenses, experience, and reviews of these companies can help you make an informed decision.
