What Makes Us Different

Third-party assessment

Unlike our competitors, we use third-party assessment companies to identify damage on our project sites as within 24 hours. These companies have no financial incentive in the size of the bid. Their independently created damage assessments define each project's scope and clearly spell out the required work. This protects you, your insurance company, and The Fresh Air Group from any questions about the true extent of the damage.

Reliable estimates, predictable costs

The Fresh Air Group uses only fixed-fee billing, and we require that all of our subcontractors do likewise. How can we do this? By creating detailed and reliable estimates using the most sophisticated tools available. We use estimating software that is also the standard among the largest insurance companies, which helps us settle claims quickly with insurance adjusters.

Technology innovators

Our online Fresh Air Portal — an industry first — centralizes our project timelines, diagrams, and ongoing status and billing. This innovative tool streamlines communication not only with clients — the building owners — but also with building tenants, project subcontractors, and insurance adjusters. Learn more

Accountability

The Fresh Air Group never asks clients to waive any potential environmental liabilities after we successfully complete a project. Instead, we choose to be financial accountable to our clients. Not only do we stand behind our work, but so does our insurance policy. This is almost unheard-of in our industry.

Services

Water damage

From the most devastating hurricane and storm damage to a localized flood, The Fresh Air Group has handled it all. We never underestimate the urgency of immediate response to water damage, because any delay can lead to worse problems down the road. We also know that part of our role is to reassure upset and worried occupants or tenants who feel victimized by such damage. Our systematic emergency response timeline assures building owners and property managers that we are taking the proper steps from the first hour after we are notified of water damage through the first 72 hours of an event. And our systematic approach to restoration assures that you get repairs done right the first time, and all parties stay informed as restoration progresses.

Mold remediation

Water damage often leads to mold, particularly when repairs are rushed or superficial. Mold is often a hidden menace, feared not only for its potential health effects among building occupants, but also for the consequences and costs if left to grow undiscovered for any length of time. The Fresh Air Group was among the earliest firms to develop expertise and become certified in mold remediation protocols, and it has become a major segment of our business.

Fire damage

In the aftermath of the firefighters' work, there's the damage caused by flame and smoke, but there can also be water damage. Sometimes the water damage can have a greater impact on a building than the original event. That's why The Fresh Air Group's unique approach and expertise are relevant and valuable. Our turnkey service, accurate estimating, and understanding of the needs of insurance adjusters make us a reliable choice after a fire.

Asbestos removal

Asbestos removal requires particular care because of the hazards of exposure that can be caused by improper handling in the course of the abatement. We apply the same thorough, systematic approach as with all our work, so you are assured of industry-standard precautions during remediation as well as certified results when we are done.
