Bergman Brothers deploys pre-vetted restoration technicians — both IICRC-certified specialists and experienced general technicians — to your job site within 24–48 hours, anywhere in the United States. Our 7-Day Communications Center (7AM–8PM ET, every day of the week) coordinates placements in real time, so you're never waiting until Monday for a response. Whether you need certified remediation specialists or general technicians for pack-outs and contents work, we match the right crew to your project scope.

Our certified workforce holds industry-recognized credentials including IICRC Water Restoration Technician (WRT), IICRC Applied Microbial Remediation Technician (AMRT), IICRC Fire & Smoke Restoration Technician (FSRT), HAZWOPER 24-Hour and 40-Hour, and OSHA 10 and OSHA 30 — all verified before deployment. We also staff experienced general restoration technicians for non-certified project work including pack-outs, contents processing, demolition, and general support. We match the right skill level to your project requirements and budget.

Yes. Bergman Brothers Staffing is the employer of record for every technician we deploy. All restoration technicians work as W-2 employees — never 1099 independent contractors. This means we handle all payroll taxes, workers' compensation insurance, unemployment insurance, and employment compliance. For your company, this eliminates the risk of misclassification penalties and liability. For technicians, it provides stable employment with proper tax withholding and workplace protections.

Our Charlotte, NC headquarters coordinates deployments through a network of pre-vetted professionals positioned across the country, enabling 24–48 hour deployment times regardless of location.

The 7-Day Communications Center is Bergman Brothers' primary differentiator in the restoration staffing industry. Operating 7AM–8PM Eastern Time, seven days a week, it provides real-time coordination between your company and deployed technicians.

No other restoration staffing agency offers this level of accessibility.

Yes. Bergman Brothers accepts applications from restoration technicians at every skill level — with or without a formal resume. We evaluate candidates based on hands-on experience, certifications (if any), and willingness to work — not paperwork. Fill out our short application form (it takes about 60 seconds), and a recruiter will call you within 24 hours. We place IICRC-certified specialists, experienced general technicians, pack-out and contents crew, and entry-level candidates seeking on-the-job training.

Yes. Bergman Brothers staffs experienced general restoration technicians alongside our IICRC-certified specialists. Many restoration projects — including pack-outs, contents processing, controlled demolition, debris removal, and general site support — do not require formal IICRC certification. We provide skilled, vetted general technicians for these roles so your company gets reliable workforce at the right price point without paying certified rates for non-certified work. Every general technician is a W-2 employee with full compliance coverage, the same as our certified staff.

Bergman Brothers' temp-to-hire program gives restoration companies an 18-week (720-hour) trial period with each technician. During this time, the technician works at your job site as a W-2 employee of Bergman Brothers — we handle all payroll, benefits, and compliance. You evaluate their skills, work ethic, and fit with your team under real project conditions. At the end of the trial, you can transition the technician to your permanent payroll or continue the temporary arrangement. This eliminates the financial risk of a bad hire and gives you confidence that every permanent addition to your team is proven.

For direct hire placements, Bergman Brothers provides a 60-day replacement guarantee. If a permanently placed restoration technician leaves your company or fails to meet performance expectations within the first 60 days, we replace that technician at no additional recruitment cost. This guarantee reflects our confidence in our vetting process and ensures your investment in permanent staffing is protected.

Yes. Bergman Brothers Staffing holds GSA Contract No. 47QREA20D000Y and is a certified minority-owned business, making us eligible for federal, state, and local government restoration contracts. We provide both certified and general restoration technicians for government-funded disaster response, environmental remediation, and public facility restoration projects. Our W-2 employment model and documented compliance processes meet government contractor requirements.

Pay rates at Bergman Brothers depend on your experience and certifications. General restoration technicians — including pack-out crew, contents specialists, and demolition support — typically earn $16–$20 per hour. IICRC-certified technicians (WRT, AMRT, FSRT) earn $20–$25+ per hour based on the scope and location of the project. All technicians are paid weekly via direct deposit as W-2 employees. Travel assignments include per diem for lodging and meals in addition to hourly pay.

Yes. When you apply with Bergman Brothers, our recruiters discuss your preferred locations, travel availability, and the types of work you want. We match placements to your preferences whenever possible. If you’re open to travel, we cover per diem for lodging and meals and can place you on projects across all 50 states. If you prefer local work, we focus on placements within your region. You are never forced to accept an assignment.

Yes. Because every Bergman Brothers technician is a W-2 employee — not a 1099 contractor — you are covered by our workers’ compensation insurance from day one. If you are injured on a job site, you have full employer coverage. You also receive proper tax withholding, unemployment insurance eligibility, and all other protections that come with real employment status. This is one of the most important differences between Bergman Brothers and agencies that classify technicians as independent contractors.
