## Facility people, not just a cleanup crew

1st Class Restoration is the restoration team of 1st Class Facility Services. Commercial facility work is where we started: our parent company already maintains commercial sites, including locations of national brands. We know a property manager needs a clear answer, a clean work area and a record they can pass up the chain.

We work for property and facility managers, HOA and condo association boards, and owners and operators of retail stores, restaurants, offices, medical offices and warehouses.

## Built for buildings that need to stay open

### 24/7 emergency response

Leaks don't wait for business hours. Call any time, day or night, and talk to us directly about what's happening.

### Less downtime

We plan the work around your operation: contain the affected area so the rest can stay open where it's safe, and schedule after-hours or weekend work when the job allows.

### Documentation you can hand off

Photos, moisture readings and a written summary of what we found and what we did, so owners, boards and managers all see the same record.

### Simple, direct billing

Your business pays us directly. We don't bill insurance companies or handle claims, but our documentation is ready to submit to your carrier.

### Florida-licensed for mold

Our founder holds both Florida mold licenses: assessor MRSA5754 and remediator MRSR5743. Look them up on the state's website.

### Veteran-owned

1st Class Facility Services is a veteran-owned business. We show up when we say we will and own the job.

## How we run a commercial job

1.  **Call us**

    Tell us what happened and where. We'll tell you what to do to limit the damage until we arrive.

2.  **Walkthrough & free estimate**

    We find the source, map the moisture and give you a free on-site estimate before work starts.

3.  **Plan around you**

    We agree on hours, access, containment and who gets updates: tenants, staff, the board or the owner.

4.  **Dry, clean & contain**

    Remove water and damaged materials, dry the structure and keep the work area separated from the rest of the building.

5.  **Report & close out**

    Confirm materials are dry and clean, then send photos and a written summary for your records.


## Mold assessment and remediation, kept separate

Florida requires a license for mold assessment and for mold remediation of areas over 10 square feet, and it bars one company from doing both on the same property within 12 months (s. 468.8419, F.S.). We offer them as two separate engagements and tell you up front which one you need.

- [Mold assessment](https://1stclassrestore.com/mold-assessment/): An independent look at whether there's a mold problem, where it is and what it'll take to fix. You get a written report.
- [Mold remediation](https://1stclassrestore.com/mold-remediation/): Containment, removal and cleanup of mold-damaged materials, following a separate assessor's findings where there is one.

## Commercial restoration FAQ

### Do you respond to commercial emergencies after hours?

Yes. We answer 24/7, including nights, weekends and holidays. Call (728) 233-1041.

### Can you work around our business hours?

Usually, yes. Emergency water removal starts right away, but much of the follow-up work can be scheduled early, late or on weekends. We'll plan it with you at the walkthrough.

### Do you bill our insurance company?

No. Your business pays us directly, and we don't bill insurers or handle claims. We provide photos and a written summary of the work that you can submit to your carrier.

### What documentation do we get?

Photos of the damage and the work, moisture readings and a written summary of what we found and what we did. It's written so an owner, board or property manager can follow it without being on site.

### Can you test for mold and remove it in our building?

Not on the same property within 12 months. Florida law (s. 468.8419, F.S.) keeps mold assessment and mold remediation separate. We offer each as its own engagement, tell you which one you need, and help you find an independent licensed pro for the other.

### Is the estimate really free?

Yes. We come out, look at the damage and give you a free on-site estimate for the work. For mold, an estimate for remediation work isn't a mold assessment. Assessment is a separate service under Florida law.

### Do you handle repairs or rebuilding after the cleanup?

No. We handle water removal, drying, cleanup and mold work. We don't do rebuild, reconstruction or roofing, so you'll use your own contractor for repairs once the space is dry and clean.

### Can you help with other facility trades?

1st Class Restoration is part of the 1st Class Family of Trades under 1st Class Facility Services, which also covers HVAC, electrical and drain cleaning. Ask us when you call, or visit 1stclassfs.com.
