Questions restoration companies ask
What does it cost?
Joining is free. Terms depend on your trade and market and they're built around results, so a person at the desk walks you through them on the call. We don't publish a price sheet.
Is this another list of names?
No. We don't sell lists or run email campaigns. We hand you a manager who agreed to meet, or a stated need in restoration.
What is a pre-loss agreement?
Terms a manager signs with you before anything goes wrong: who to call, how you get access, how work is approved. When a pipe bursts, nobody is hunting for a vendor or a signature. The desk puts yours in front of managers before the freeze.
What does the 24-hour response commitment mean?
It's a line on your packet: you'll be on site within 24 hours of an emergency call, nights and weekends included. Managers see it before they choose you. Only take it on if you can keep it.
Do I need a TDLR mold license?
In Texas, mold assessment and remediation are licensed by TDLR, and remediation generally needs a license once the affected area is 25 contiguous square feet or more. If your work needs one, we show it on your packet. This isn't legal advice; check TDLR's rules for your work.
Do I need IICRC certification?
No. If your company or techs hold IICRC certifications, we show them on your packet. If not, we talk it through on the call.
Don't managers already have a restoration company?
Usually. Managers change jobs, and the primary can't always answer on the night of a freeze. Being the backup on the list is how you become the primary.
What stops you sending my competitor?
An exclusive opening. While it's yours, we don't send managers in your market to any other restoration company. Without it, a request goes to the fastest responders, never more than three.
We do insurance program work. Is that a conflict?
No. This is direct work from property managers. Keep your program work if it works for you.
What if the manager has no job right now?
Then it's an intro: a manager who picks vendors and agreed to a conversation. The job comes later, from the list. When there's a job behind it, we tell you.
How many jobs will I get?
We won't give you a number we can't back. The desk is opening now. On the call we'll walk you through how routing works for restoration in your market.
Can I take the relationship and leave?
Yes. The managers you meet are yours. No share of jobs, no non-circumvention clause.
We're not based in DFW. Can we take a market?
Yes. Restoration companies based anywhere in Texas can. Each opening covers one North Texas market, and you're the only restoration company we send managers to there, so you need to be able to serve properties in that market.
Which markets are there?
North Texas is split into four markets, each covering a group of counties, with one restoration company per market. The current status of each is in the form. Larger crew? You can hold more than one market. Terms are set on the call.
We're outside Texas. Can we apply?
Yes. Enter your business ZIP. If your area isn't open yet, you can join the early list for it with the same quick questions, and we'll call to confirm before we open there.
Is OnRoster a restoration company?
No. OnRoster is a vendor desk. We are not a contractor and do not perform work.
