HyreRestore

For the trade

For restoration companies

HyreRestore has no restoration companies signed up, no live matching and no lead volume to quote. What we have is a site that explains water, fire and mold losses and insurance claims to homeowners before they call, and a list you can join now. Registering costs nothing and commits you to nothing.

Where should I start?

Why we open with what we lack. You have probably been sold a lead count before, so we will not open with one.

We would rather have a short, honest conversation about what a fair arrangement looks like.

What is HyreRestore?

hyrerestore.com publishes independent information for homeowners with water, fire, mold and storm damage: what to do first, how drying and the rebuild work, how the claim runs, and what a written scope should contain. We do no restoration work and hold no contracts. We intend to introduce readers to companies that can do the work.

The site has ten service guides and fourteen tools, all open, none behind an email wall.

What has a homeowner read before contacting you?

What your customer already knows matters more than a volume figure. Someone who reaches you through this site may already have read that:

  • Mitigation and reconstruction are separate scopes, and they choose who does the rebuild.
  • A dry-out should have a written goal and a daily moisture log. See structural drying.
  • Category 3 water means porous materials come out, not a longer dry.
  • An assignment of benefits hands over control of the claim, so they should read it slowly.
  • Their policy covers perils, not problems, and flood needs a separate policy.

If that sounds like a harder customer, notice who it is harder for. A company that sets a drying goal, keeps the log and writes down the scope has had half the conversation done for it.

What would we ask of you?

The same things we tell homeowners to check. It would make no sense to publish a checklist and then introduce homeowners to companies that fail it.

  • A real, registered business. With an operating history we can find in public records, not only on your website.
  • The licenses the work requires. A mold license where your state issues one, and a contractor license if you rebuild. Where none applies, say so.
  • Certification held by people. IICRC certification in the disciplines you work in, held by the technicians who would be on the job.
  • Liability, workers’ compensation and pollution coverage. Pollution cover where you take on sewage or mold. Confirmed with the carrier once that check is built.
  • A written scope and a drying goal. What is removed, what is dried, the target readings, and a moisture log the homeowner receives.
  • No signature pressure. Mitigation can start under a work authorization. We tell homeowners to read an assignment of benefits slowly, and we will not introduce them to firms that push one.

What is not decided yet?

HyreRestore is early. We would rather leave these open than publish terms that change in three months.

TermWhere it stands
Pricing model and priceNot decided. Per inquiry, subscription or something else, and at what price.
How many companies per inquiryNot decided. One, or a small number the homeowner is told about first. Never an open list.
DeliveryNot decided. How an accepted inquiry reaches you, and how quickly.
Invalid inquiriesNot decided. What earns a credit, and how a dispute is raised.
Contract termsNot decided. Any minimum commitment, and how to pause or leave.
MarketsNot decided. Which areas open first, and in what order.

Settled already: we take no cut of the job and no part in the claim, and you contract with the homeowner directly. The partner FAQ answers each open term, and the lead quality standard sets the rules for every inquiry.

What will HyreRestore never become?

  • A directory. No profiles, ratings or rankings, so there is no position to buy.
  • A review platform. We carry no reviews, because we have no policy for collecting them.
  • A claims business. No assignment of benefits, no public adjusting, no share of a settlement.
  • A lead reseller. One homeowner’s loss is never sold to a list of firms, and we buy no leads to resell.

Questions people ask

How many restoration leads can you send me?
None we can promise, and we will not quote a number we have not produced. HyreRestore is a new site, matching is not live, and no restoration companies are signed up. Volume will depend on losses in your market, which neither of us controls.
What does it cost to work with HyreRestore?
Nothing today, because there is nothing live to charge for. The pricing model and the price are not decided. When they are, they will be published here, and companies that registered will hear before the page changes.
Do you take a share of the job or the claim?
No. We are not a party to your contract with the homeowner, take no percentage of the work, take no assignment of benefits and do no public adjusting. Whatever the pricing becomes, it will be for the introduction.
Will you call my company “certified” or “vetted”?
No. We do not use those words about anyone, because they promise checking we have not done. When a check is complete, we name the check. See how restoration companies will be checked.
