Dallas-Fort Worth Context
Why Contents Pack-Out & Storage Matters in Dallas-Fort Worth
DFW whole-home rebuilds — particularly post-fire and post-freeze projects — frequently require complete contents pack-out. We handle photo inventory, professional cleaning at our DFW facility, climate-controlled storage, and pack-back upon rebuild completion.
Texas homeowner policies typically include 50–70% Coverage C (contents) tied to dwelling. Documentation is the entire game — carriers can only pay for what's documented.
Overview
What's Included in Contents Pack-Out & Storage
When a fire, flood, or major water loss damages a home, the structural rebuild is only half the project. The other half is your stuff — furniture, clothing, electronics, dishes, photos, documents — that has to be carefully removed from the loss zone, evaluated, cleaned where possible, and stored safely until the home is ready.
We handle this as a coordinated piece of the rebuild, not a separate vendor relationship. Items are inventoried with photo documentation (insurance carriers require this), professionally cleaned at our facility using restoration-grade equipment, and stored in climate-controlled warehousing. Non-restorable items are claimed at replacement cost so you're paid to replace them. When the rebuild is finished, your contents come back.

FAQ
Contents Pack-Out & Storage in Dallas-Fort Worth — Questions
Where is your DFW contents storage facility?+
We operate climate-controlled storage in the DFW metroplex specifically for active rebuild projects. Belongings stay secure, organized, and accessible until the rebuild is complete.
How does the Texas wind/hail deductible work on a DFW rebuild?+
Most DFW homeowner policies now carry a separate wind/hail deductible — typically 1%, 2%, or 5% of your dwelling coverage rather than a flat dollar amount. On a $400,000 home with a 2% deductible, that's $8,000 out of pocket before insurance pays. We confirm your specific deductible and roof endorsement during the first walk so there are no surprises.
Do you provide free hail-damage roof inspections in DFW?+
Yes. After every major hail event we run free, no-obligation roof inspections across Dallas, Tarrant, Collin, Denton, and Rockwall counties — drone imagery plus ladder-level shingle, vent, and flashing sampling. If the damage warrants a claim we'll walk you through the process; if it doesn't, we'll tell you that too.
Can you start emergency rebuild work the same day in the Dallas-Fort Worth area?+
Yes. Emergency tarp, board-up, and water extraction dispatch 24/7 across the metroplex. Construction-phase work begins after the insurance scope is approved, but the property is secured and the loss is documented from the first hours.
Did you handle rebuilds after the February 2021 winter storm (Uri)?+
Hundreds of them. Most of those projects involved attic and exterior-wall pipe bursts that destroyed kitchens, ceilings, and entire rooms below. As part of every Uri-era rebuild we relocated or insulated the failed supply lines to prevent recurrence — work many freeze-only contractors skipped.
Which DFW cities do you pull permits in?+
All of them. Our active permit footprint includes Dallas, Fort Worth, Plano, Frisco, McKinney, Arlington, Irving, Garland, Grapevine, Southlake, Highland Park, University Park, Allen, Richardson, Carrollton, Lewisville, Flower Mound, Mansfield, Rockwall, and the surrounding suburbs. Each city's process is handled by our in-house permitting team.
How do you decide what's restorable and what isn't?+
Industry standards (IICRC S500/S520 for water and mold; S700 for fire) define restorable vs. non-restorable. Porous items in Cat 3 water or heavy smoke contamination are typically non-restorable and claimed at replacement cost.
Will I get a list of everything you take?+
Yes. Full inventory with photos before anything leaves the home — and you keep a copy for your records and the insurance carrier.
How long can items stay in storage?+
As long as the rebuild requires. Typical storage is 2–6 months, though longer-term storage is available if construction is delayed.
What about valuables — jewelry, documents, photos?+
High-value items (jewelry, important documents, irreplaceable photos) are handled separately, often staying with the homeowner. We document a separate high-value inventory for insurance.
Is contents pack-out covered by insurance?+
Yes — contents coverage on standard homeowner policies covers pack-out, cleaning, storage, and replacement. We bill the carrier directly so you don't front the cost.
