Virtual Assistant for Restoration Companies: Streamline Insurance Claims and Job Ops
Updated: Oct 2
Restoration companies live and die on three things: how fast you respond to a loss, how cleanly your file flows through the carrier, and how aggressively you chase aging AR. A virtual assistant trained for restoration handles all three so your estimators and project managers can focus on the field.
What a Restoration Virtual Assistant Handles

Insurance carrier and adjuster communication

What It Costs
5CVAS services start at $9 per hour. Confirm the rate for the role, experience and coverage you need; specialized work may have different requirements.
