Fire & Water Damage Restoration in Fort Worth

---

In Texas, homeowners have the right to choose their own contractor for fire damage restoration, water damage reconstruction, and structural repairs.

Insurance companies may suggest preferred vendors. That recommendation is optional. Contractor selection remains the policyholder’s decision.

Insurance evaluates coverage and payment under the policy.

The property owner selects who performs the reconstruction.

If you ever feel pressured to use a specific contractor, you may contact the Texas Department of Insurance for clarification regarding your rights as a policyholder.

Your home is your asset.
You control who rebuilds it.

Program contractors are restoration companies that perform work through insurance carrier vendor programs. They operate within carrier-controlled pricing frameworks, process requirements, and approval workflows.

That does not automatically mean poor workmanship.

It does mean their incentives may be aligned with administrative efficiency and carrier relationships — not necessarily with maximum structural scope or independent evaluation.

If you have already hired, or are interviewing a contractor, ask clear questions:

• Are you part of an insurance vendor program?
• Do you receive the majority of your work from carrier referrals?
• Are you required to follow carrier pricing or scope limitations?
• Who are you ultimately accountable to 

— the property owner or the program?

Clarity removes confusion.

Reconstruction is a structural responsibility.

Understanding alignment matters.

The Public Restoration Company operates independently of insurance vendor programs and volume-based restoration networks.

We evaluate structural condition before committing to permanent repair.

Our responsibility is to the building.

That means:

• Controlled structural discovery when necessary
• Documentation of concealed damage
• Reconstruction guided by load path integrity
• Restoration of building envelope performance
• Long-term structural reliability — not cosmetic speed

Independence does not mean opposition.

We work effectively with insurance carriers through clear documentation, disciplined scope development, and professional communication.

We do not rush permanent decisions.

We restore clarity before reconstruction begins.
