Verified Restoration Professional Matching gets you to a qualified restoration specialist when something has already gone wrong. A burst pipe, a kitchen fire, or mold behind a wall is stressful enough without calling a list of companies you know nothing about. You tell us what happened, and we introduce you to one verified specialist. It is part of our Business Development Service.

Restoration is a trade where speed and qualifications both matter. Water spreads, mold grows, and smoke damage settles into materials the longer it sits. A verified match means the specialist you meet has confirmed licensing, active insurance, an owner background check, and a rating record that meets our 4.5-star standard.

Whether it is an emergency happening right now or damage you are ready to get estimates on, you share the details once and one qualified restoration specialist takes it from there.

How it works

How Verified Restoration Professional Matching Works

Four steps from damage to one verified restoration specialist.

01

Tell us what happened

Share the type of damage, whether it is an emergency, whether a claim has been filed, and where the property is located.

02

We confirm the fit

We match your situation to one restoration specialist who serves your area and handles your type of damage.

03

You get one introduction

The specialist is briefed on the damage before contacting you, so the first call is about next steps.

04

We follow up

After you connect, we check in to make sure the work met our standards.

Verified before you meet

What we check on every restoration specialist

Every restoration professional matched through Handvetted clears the same verification before they can receive an introduction.

  • LicensingConfirmed against the requirements that apply to restoration and repair work where the property is located.
  • Active insuranceLiability coverage confirmed before the specialist is introduced to you.
  • Owner background checkThe person behind the business is screened, not just the business name.
  • 4.5+ star standardSpecialists must maintain a strong rating record across verified review sources to stay matched.
  • Certification to ask aboutMany restoration specialists hold industry certifications such as IICRC. Ask your match which ones they hold.
Why it matters

Why one verified specialist matters after damage

The decisions made in the first days after damage shape the entire repair.

No scramble under pressure

You do not have to vet a list of strangers while water is still on the floor.

Claim-ready work

A qualified specialist documents the damage in a way that supports an insurance claim.

Cleanup through rebuild

One specialist who can handle mitigation and the repairs that follow keeps the project on one track.

After you are matched

What to expect after your restoration introduction

Here is how the first steps usually go once you are matched.

01

An informed first call

Your specialist already knows the type of damage and whether it is an emergency.

02

An assessment on site

Expect an inspection to measure moisture, smoke, or mold and define the scope of work.

03

A clear plan in writing

Ask for the scope, the drying or remediation plan, and how the work coordinates with your insurance.

Water damage, fire and smoke damage, mold, and storm or structural damage. Tell us which applies and we match you with a specialist who handles it.
