VIP Restoration is a Sacramento damage restoration company that works directly with your insurance claim and handles both the cleanup and the rebuild under one roof. Homeowners, property managers and businesses across the Sacramento region call us for water, fire, mold, sewage and trauma damage, and an emergency crew is dispatched around the clock, usually on site within two hours.
Here is what that means in practice. We document the damage the way insurance adjusters need to see it, we work with all insurance companies, and we explain each step of the claim in plain language so you always know where things stand. Because mitigation and reconstruction are both done by our team, you deal with one company from the first call to the final walkthrough.
Does VIP Restoration work directly with insurance claims?
Yes. VIP Restoration is a Sacramento restoration company that works directly with insurance claims on every water, fire, mold, sewage and trauma job we take on. Working with an insurance adjuster is stressful, so we handle the technical side and the paperwork side together. Our technicians photograph, measure and log every affected area, and that job file becomes the documentation your adjuster reviews. We coordinate with your insurance carrier, whichever one it is, and we walk you through what happens next at each stage. You still make the decisions on your property. We make sure you understand them.
What happens step by step when you call VIP Restoration?
The restoration process runs in eight steps, from your first call to the final walkthrough, and you get a daily update at every stage.
- Call (916) 394-1080. A live person answers, collects the details, confirms any safety risks and dispatches a crew.
- Inspect and document the damage. Technicians use moisture meters and thermal imaging to find visible and hidden damage. Photos, notes and measurements go into your job file for transparency and for your insurance claim. Mold inspections or asbestos testing are done when needed.
- Stabilize the property. Water extraction, sewage cleanup, containment, debris removal, air filtration and odor control stop the damage from spreading. Acting fast here keeps repair costs down and saves more of your materials.
- Dry the structure. Industrial air movers and dehumidifiers pull moisture from floors, walls and framing. A technician returns daily for the first four days to measure moisture, adjust equipment and document progress for your insurer. Drying continues until every affected material reaches approved moisture standards.
- Clean, sanitize and care for your contents. Depending on the damage, this includes disinfecting surfaces, removing soot, treating odors, cleaning HVAC ducts and cleaning or packing out salvageable belongings. Everything is documented for you and your insurer.
- Remediate mold and other hazards. If mold is found, we contain, filter, remove and clean to industry standards, correct the moisture source and, when appropriate, recommend clearance verification. Fire and smoke jobs get soot removal, specialized surface treatment and professional deodorization.
- Rebuild. Once the property is dry, clean and hazard-free, our own team handles reconstruction: drywall, flooring, carpentry, painting and other structural repairs. A project manager coordinates materials, timelines and inspections.
- Walk through and close out. We confirm quality and cleanliness with you, verify moisture levels, review the documentation and leave you with preventive tips and guidance for any remaining insurance conversations.
How does VIP Restoration work with my insurance company?
We prepare and organize the documentation your insurance company needs, coordinate with your adjuster, and explain each stage of the claim so you are never guessing. Here is how the claim side runs alongside the work on your property.
- Document from the first visit. Every inspection produces photos, measurements, notes and moisture readings that become the basis of your claim file.
- Explain the findings and the plan. Before work moves forward, you get a plain-language walkthrough of what we found, what we recommend and what to expect next.
- Coordinate with your adjuster. We provide the reports, photos and daily drying documentation adjusters ask for.
- Keep you updated daily. You hear from us every day during the active phases, so you always know what is happening inside your property and how long each stage should take.
- Carry the same file into reconstruction. Because our team handles the rebuild, the documentation stays consistent from mitigation through repairs and there is no second contractor to bring up to speed.
- Close with clear records. At the final walkthrough we review the documentation with you so you have what you need for any remaining claim discussions.
Financing options are available. VIP Restoration does not decide what your policy covers, and no restoration company can promise a claim outcome. What we can promise is complete, adjuster-ready documentation and straight answers at every step.
Does VIP Restoration handle reconstruction, or just the cleanup?
VIP Restoration handles both. Mitigation and reconstruction are done by the same company, so you are not hiring one crew to dry the property and searching for another to rebuild it. Our reconstruction work covers:
- Drywall removal and replacement
- Flooring installation
- Carpentry and structural repairs
- Painting and finishes
- Project management of materials, timelines and inspections
Reconstruction is backed by a one-year warranty, and the goal of every rebuild is to return your property to its pre-loss condition and make it safe to occupy.
What kinds of damage does the restoration process cover?
The process covers water, sewage, fire and smoke, mold, trauma and biohazard, asbestos testing and air duct work. The same eight steps apply to every type of loss, adjusted to the damage in front of us:
- Water damage: flooding, leaks, water extraction and structural drying
- Sewage backups: extraction, sanitization and safe disposal
- Fire and smoke damage: soot removal, surface treatment, deodorization and structural evaluation
- Mold: inspection, containment, remediation and clearance verification when recommended
- Trauma and biohazard cleanup: handled with discretion, including cleanup and sanitization of the affected area
- Asbestos testing: for older buildings and damaged materials, so work proceeds safely and in compliance with health regulations
- Air duct cleaning and restoration: for homes and businesses, on its own or as part of a fire, smoke or mold recovery
Carpet cleaning is done only as part of a full restoration project, not as a standalone service.
