Before You Call D.B. Carpentry & Restoration

1. Do you take moisture readings every day and will you give me the drying log?
2. Are your technicians certified in water damage restoration?

Ask for a Rhode Island contractor registration and look it up with the Contractors’ Registration and Licensing Board, or a Massachusetts registration across the line. Also ask for proof of insurance and industry certification for the restoration crew.
