The United Association of Storm Restoration Contractors (UASRC) is a non-profit organization whose member companies provide contracting services in areas impacted by extreme weather events. The UASRC was founded in 2012 in response to the proliferation of illegal, unethical, and questionable business practices by some businesses in the storm restoration industry. Immediately after a storm, the area affected by the storm may be inundated with businesses claiming to be storm restoration contractors. Homeowners have been victimized by contractors who take deposits without ever doing any work; fail to identify all work necessary to comply with local building codes resulting in inadequate insurance claim payments; misrepresent their experience and claim to be part of a local contracting company; and perform work which fails to meet even the minimum standards of building codes or fails to comply with what was promised. To maintain the high standards that the public has the right to expect from a professional storm restoration contractor, in order to become a member of the UASRC, a potential member must first be referred to the selection committee, for review to determine if the applicant, based on information submitted and the criteria for the UASRC best business practices, has adhered to those practices and will likely continue to adhere to those best business practices in order to retain membership in the UASRC. If they pass the scrutiny of the selection committee they must then be approved by the board of directors. Only after this approval will they be able to be awarded the privilege of being a UASRC member. Reach the Top of the Restoration Industry! Reserve your spot at the Storm Summit www.stormsummit.org
