Why should I choose American Response Team over a general contractor?

We specialize in insurance restoration, not remodels. Most general contractors don’t understand insurance estimating or how to negotiate on your behalf. We do and we use the same software (Xactimate) your adjuster uses, so there are no pricing surprises.

Yes. Most homeowners’ insurance policies cover water damage, fire damage, mold, and sewage cleanup. We help manage your claim from the first call to final payment so you don’t have to stress the paperwork.

Absolutely. We submit:

  • Detailed photos of the damage
  • Moisture maps to uncover hidden issues
  • A complete Xactimate estimate with line-by-line pricing

This ensures fast approval and smooth reimbursement.

If there’s risk to your health, safety, or structure, it’s an emergency. Call us for:

  • Active flooding or water leaks
  • Fire or smoke damage
  • Sewer backups or biohazards


When in doubt—call. We’ll assess and advise right away.

Mitigation (dry-out, cleanup) typically takes 3–7 days. Reconstruction can range from 2–6 weeks, depending on material availability and insurance delays. We keep you updated at every step.
