Call +1-866-484-1409Every technician on our Cedarhurst roster holds current IICRC fire and smoke restoration certification — the same credential adjusters look for when reviewing a claim file.

Framing, drywall, and finish work carry a one-year guarantee.
One coordinator manages your Cedarhurst job from the first call to the final walkthrough.
