Why a local restoration-remediation contractor matters

When storm crews and out-of-area companies come in to take local work, the problems they leave behind land on you. Here is what a local restoration-remediation contractor protects.

Local — not a storm crew
IRI Contractor Network members are local restoration and remediation companies, not storm crews or out-of-area outfits that come in to take local work and leave with the next storm.
Your adjuster and insurance company
Local restoration and remediation contractors work with the adjusters and insurance companies in your area every day. An out-of-area company has no relationship there — billing, adjuster questions, and the whole insurance relationship can become difficult or disappear entirely.
Billing disputes stay close to home
If a billing dispute with an out-of-state company ends up in court, it may be filed in their state, not yours. You may have to hire an attorney there — or even travel there — just to have a say.
A warranty you can actually use
If something goes wrong after a non-local crew leaves, there is no warranty fallback and no local company to come back and fix their mistakes. A local member is here to make it right.
Local connections, better results
Licensed local restoration and remediation specialists work with other local businesses — suppliers, trades, and inspectors — to get you the best outcome. Non-locals don’t have those relationships, and they struggle to get the job done right.
Local. Certified. Verified.

Every network member is a local restoration and remediation company — IRI-certified, ID- and experience-verified, insured, and licensed where your state requires it.

How the IRI Contractor Network is different

A referral network built for fairness, not for whoever pays the most.

Guaranteed training
Every member company holds a current IRI certification for each service it offers. Let a certification lapse and that service comes off the listing automatically.
DryIQ estimating
Members get DryIQ Estimator access — direct-bill estimates built on real-time, federally sourced pricing. The estimator is a tool, not a requirement: members stay free to price however they work.
Fair rotation
Work is assigned by ZIP code and county in the order it comes in — never by company size. Every member gets its turn at the big jobs and the small ones.
Neutral by design
No pay-to-rank and no favorites. Listings are never ordered by size or ad spend.

How much is the network?

Free to join with your IRI certification. One subscription keeps you in the program — and the marketing, the lead form, and the routing are built for you.

STEP 1
Get IRI certified $299 once
Complete an IRI certification course and pass the proctored exam. Network membership is free with your certification.
STEP 2
Stay in the program $49/mo
Your member subscription includes full DryIQ Estimator access — direct-bill estimates priced from federal data — plus member tools, member discounts as they run, and first access to new estimator features as they release: Cleaning Estimation by image and personal property estimation by image.
STEP 3
Get the project included
We target your area with IRI’s digital marketing. When a loss comes in, a custom form sends the lead directly to you. If you do not respond, the loss passes to the next member in line — the customer is always kept up to date, and your turn comes back around.

Every listing is verified three ways

Three checks stand between a contractor and this directory — and you can confirm each one yourself, right from their profile.

STEP 1
Current IRI certification
The contractor holds a current certificate from the International Restoration Institute for every service they list — each one links to a public verification page.
STEP 2
ID verification
Their government-issued photo ID was reviewed by IRI. Every profile links to their public specialist ID you can check in seconds.
STEP 3
Experience + insurance verification
Their restoration experience was attested with evidence and reviewed by IRI, and their certificate of insurance is on file — a residential-only house company or an industrial crew, each placed in the section it qualifies for.

A free public service from IRI

The International Restoration Institute publishes the IRI Contractor Network as a free resource for the public — a clean handoff to trained, local restoration and remediation contractors. IRI receives no referral fees, commissions, or listing payments, and no contractor can pay to appear or rank on these pages.

We verify each member’s certifications and keep copies of license and insurance documents on file. Credentials can still lapse between our reviews — before you hire, confirm the contractor’s license and insurance are current with the issuing state and carrier. Listed contractors are independent businesses solely responsible for their own projects, workmanship, and liabilities; IRI does not manage, supervise, or guarantee their work.
