Staffing Agency vs. Restoration Partner: How to Choose

The short answer

A staffing agency supplies workers; a restoration partner owns the outcome, scope, schedule, budget, safety, subcontractors, and the insurance claim, under one point of accountability.

Why the distinction matters on a large loss

Large losses fail in the gaps between trades and between the work and the claim. Renting labor leaves those gaps for you to manage; a partner closes them.

What to ask before you hire

Ask who owns the schedule and budget, who coordinates the insurer, who is licensed for abatement, and who is accountable if a subcontractor slips. If the answer is "you," you have hired labor, not a partner.

The BuildWise model

We are explicitly not a staffing agency. One team owns your project from the emergency call to closeout, with documentation that holds up to insurer review.
