What Contents Restoration Covers

Contents restoration is the cleaning and repair of the items inside your home or business—everything from furniture and electronics to documents and keepsakes. We handle:

  • Furniture — upholstery, wood furniture, and mattresses

  • Electronics — computers, TVs, and appliances

  • Documents and photos — including freeze-drying for water-damaged records

  • Textiles — clothing, bedding, curtains, and rugs

  • Hard goods — dishes, decor, tools, and personal items

  • Business contents — inventory, files, and equipment

Items that can’t be restored are documented for insurance replacement. (For structural damage, see post-disaster reconstruction.)

Our Contents Restoration Process

Step 1 — Inventory and documentation. Every item is photographed, cataloged, and documented for your insurance claim before work begins.

Step 2 — Pack-out and transport. Items that can’t be restored on-site are carefully packed and transported to a secure facility for cleaning and restoration.

Step 3 — Cleaning and restoration. We match the cleaning method to the material—water-based cleaning for some items, dry cleaning for others, and specialized treatments for electronics and documents.

Step 4 — Deodorization. Items affected by smoke or water odor are treated to remove odor at the source. (See smoke damage cleanup and odor removal.)

Step 5 — Storage and return. Restored items are stored securely until your property is ready, then returned and placed back in your home or business.

What Affects the Cost of Contents Restoration?

 

  • Number and type of items — some materials and electronics cost more to restore than others

  • Extent of damage — light smoke residue is easier to clean than deep water saturation

  • Restoration vs. replacement — restoring is often cheaper than replacing, but not always possible

  • Specialty items — documents, artwork, and antiques may require specialized handling

  • Pack-out and storage — items stored off-site add handling and storage costs

  • Insurance coverage — we document everything to support your claim

We provide a clear estimate before work begins and bill insurance directly.

FAQs

Can water-damaged furniture and electronics be restored?
Often yes—especially with quick response. Upholstery, wood furniture, and many electronics can be cleaned and restored, though some items may not be salvageable.

Can wet documents and photos be saved?
Many can. We use freeze-drying and specialized drying methods to restore water-damaged paper items, including important documents and photos.

How long does contents restoration take?
It depends on the number and type of items. Small jobs may take days; larger jobs with pack-out and storage take longer.

What happens to items that can’t be restored?
They’re documented for your insurance claim and disposed of properly. We keep a record of everything.

Will my insurance cover contents restoration?
Most policies that cover the original damage also cover contents. We document everything and work directly with your insurer.
