To ensure that you are receiving the best inventory service possible, our processes are continually reviewed, improved and adapted to meet our customers' needs. You are invited to remain with us the entire time we are in your home or place of business. We encourage questions prior to starting and during your inventory. We might come in as strangers, but leave feeling we’ve made new friends.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is your company licensed and certified?
There is no licensing, on either a state or national level, for the home inventory industry.
Though certifications are not required for home and business inventory service professionals at this time, we have achieved the designation of Certified Inventory Expert (CIE) through the National Inventory Certification Association.
Should I have an inventory before or after I paint, remodel or redecorate?
Now that you realize the importance of having an inventory, it would be in your best interest to schedule as soon as possible. You wouldn’t want to hold off, then experience a loss. Sometimes "later" is too late. Since we are documenting contents, new paint colors, cabinets, tile, carpet, etc., do not affect your personal property information.
Do I need to clean before you come?
Absolutely not! Tidiness is of no concern to us. Don’t feel that cluttered or disorganized closets or garages need to be cleaned. For the same reason as stated above, it’s best to have your inventory documented as soon as possible. If you had a disaster, would you rather have a picture of a cluttered or dusty area than have no pictures at all? Don’t delay!
What do I need to do to prepare for the inventory?
Absolutely nothing! However, if you have appraisal forms, certificates of authenticity, receipts or other similar items, we’ll be happy to create a digital record for your files.
How long does the inventory process take?
This depends on the size of your home or business. Once we learn this information, we can give you an accurate estimate. We have created a very efficient process with our customers’ busy schedules in mind.
Recording your personal property is extremely important, but it is only the first step in achieving a full service inventory. In addition to the documentation process, your information can be secured at an off-site location for safe keeping. Renewals and updates are available to keep your files current. Additionally, if you have a major remodel or redecorating project, we'll re-inventory just those areas that have been updated.
