In other words, a large commercial building may require board up services while a smaller building may need content restoration as many personal items have been affected by the smoke and soot. Here you can find a checklist of each procedure that may be required for your property.<\/p>\n<p>As soon as <strong>ProTech Restoration<\/strong> arrives, they will review this checklist with you after their initial inspection of what had happened during the fire, informing you of the source and scope of the damage as well as the duration and restoration cost estimates.
