Have you recently purchased a home that was foreclosed on? vandalized by tendants? or damaged by a storm? If you have then you are more than likely looking for a property preservation company at this time. I want to inform you what services to expect from your property preservation company.

First they will do a overview of your property and determine what needs to be cleaned, removed from the property, and any repairs that need to be done. After they have done this they should provide you with a checklist of these items for you to go over and approve. Depending on the extent of damage to a property there may be a need to call in contractors to fix things that are beyond their experience level to repair. Dependings on the level of damage to the property you may also need to have other proffesionals such as a plumber,electrician, or buiding inspector come in.

On some occassion there may still be a tendant that is still living on the property, that has already been served eviction papers but time has not come to move out yet. If this is the case you may need to verify tendancy and evaluate the property at that current time. In some cases it may require the assistance of a police officer and property owner.

When the property is being evaluated is when everyone that is participating in this process will put in their estimate for the amount of damage caused to the property and how much money and time it will take to correct it. The damage estimates should include electical,plumbing,structral,telecomunications,and possibly pest control if there is a invasion of them. How much will be done and in what time frame will be determined by the owner, property preservation company, and any other proffesionals that are included in this process. It is recommened to contact a property preservation company to save you time, and make sure everything is up to code on the property, and safe.

Before choosing a property preservation company it is always recommended to check into their client history, any reviews that have been written and word of mouth is the best way to find out how well a company holds up their end of the deal.
