All restoration services performed by Boul Belling Restoration are governed by the laws of the State of Washington. Any legal disputes arising from service agreements, website use, or business interactions with Boul Belling Restoration shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Whatcom County, Washington State.
These Bellingham Washington restoration service conditions constitute the complete and binding agreement between Boul Belling Restoration and any client, website visitor, or service recipient. No verbal agreement, informal communication, or prior understanding modifies these written terms unless documented in a signed written amendment executed by an authorized representative of Boul Belling Restoration.
By taking any of the following actions, you indicate your full and unconditional acceptance of the Boul Belling Restoration terms and conditions as written on this page:
If you are accessing our website or engaging our services on behalf of a business entity, organization, property management company, or insurance carrier, you represent and warrant that you have full legal authority to bind that entity to these terms. Your acceptance of these terms constitutes acceptance on behalf of that entity.
These terms and conditions apply to all restoration services provided by Boul Belling Restoration to residential and commercial property owners in Bellingham, WA and throughout Whatcom County. The services governed by these terms include, but are not limited to:
Boul Belling Restoration may perform additional restoration-related services not listed above as agreed upon in a written service authorization. The restoration contractor legal terms Bellingham Washington clients are bound by through this document apply equally to all services — whether listed above or authorized separately in writing.
All services are subject to a formal written service authorization or work order that specifies the agreed scope of work, estimated timeline, and applicable pricing. Verbal agreements regarding service scope, pricing, or completion timelines are not binding on Boul Belling Restoration unless confirmed in writing by an authorized company representative.
The property owner, authorized tenant, or authorized business representative who signs the Boul Belling Restoration service authorization is financially responsible for all services rendered. If an insurance claim is being filed in connection with the restoration project, the client remains personally responsible for any amounts not covered, denied, or reduced by the insurance carrier — including deductibles, policy exclusions, and depreciation holdbacks.
Boul Belling Restoration provides full insurance documentation support for all applicable restoration projects in Bellingham, WA and Whatcom County. When a client assigns insurance benefits to Boul Belling Restoration for direct payment from their carrier, the client authorizes Boul Belling Restoration to communicate directly with the insurance adjuster and to receive payment on the client's behalf up to the total authorized project cost. The client remains responsible for the payment of any deductible at the time of project completion or as specified in the service authorization agreement.
Boul Belling Restoration accepts payment by cash, check, and all major credit cards for restoration services rendered in Bellingham, WA and throughout our Whatcom County service area. Payment terms for each project are specified in the written service authorization. For large commercial or multi-phase residential restoration projects, milestone-based payment schedules may be established by written agreement between the client and Boul Belling Restoration.
Invoices not paid within 30 days of the due date specified in the service authorization are subject to a late payment charge of 1.5% per month on the outstanding balance, or the maximum rate permitted by Washington State law, whichever is lower. Boul Belling Restoration reserves the right to suspend ongoing restoration work on any project with an overdue unpaid balance until payment is received or a written payment arrangement is confirmed.
Any client who disputes any line item or total amount on a Boul Belling Restoration invoice must notify us in writing within 10 business days of receiving the invoice. Disputes submitted after this period may be treated as accepted. Boul Belling Restoration will review all disputed invoices in good faith and respond in writing within 10 business days of receiving a written dispute notification.
By engaging Boul Belling Restoration for any restoration service in Bellingham, WA or Whatcom County, the client grants Boul Belling Restoration and its authorized technicians reasonable access to all areas of the subject property necessary to perform the agreed scope of restoration work. This includes access to basements, crawl spaces, attic spaces, wall cavities, mechanical rooms, and any other structural area affected by or adjacent to the documented damage zone. Access must be available during all scheduled work periods as specified in the service authorization.
The client is responsible for disclosing to Boul Belling Restoration, prior to the commencement of any restoration work, all known hazardous conditions present at the property — including but not limited to asbestos-containing materials, lead paint, structural instability, active pest infestations, known mold conditions not referenced in the work scope, and any environmental contamination. Failure to disclose known hazards that subsequently affect the safety of Boul Belling Restoration technicians or expand the scope of required work may result in additional charges and may void applicable project warranties.
The client is responsible for ensuring that all required utilities — including electrical power, water supply, and adequate ventilation — are available and accessible at the subject property throughout the duration of the restoration project. Boul Belling Restoration's professional drying and dehumidification equipment requires uninterrupted electrical access during the structural drying phase of all water damage restoration projects. Interruption of utilities during active drying operations may extend the drying timeline and increase the total project cost.
While Boul Belling Restoration technicians will make reasonable efforts to protect client contents during restoration operations, the client is responsible for removing or adequately protecting any irreplaceable, high-value, or fragile items from the work area prior to the commencement of restoration work. Boul Belling Restoration is not liable for incidental damage to client contents that are not disclosed, inventoried, or appropriately protected prior to the start of work.
Boul Belling Restoration warrants that all restoration services performed in Bellingham, WA and throughout our Whatcom County service area will be completed in a workmanlike manner consistent with applicable IICRC industry standards for the specific damage category addressed. This workmanship warranty covers defects in the restoration work performed by Boul Belling Restoration technicians and extends for a period of one year from the date of project completion, unless a different warranty period is specified in the written service authorization.
Boul Belling Restoration's workmanship warranty does not extend to third-party materials, products, or equipment installed as part of a restoration project. Manufacturers' warranties for such materials and products are passed through to the client to the extent permitted by the applicable manufacturer warranty terms.
Boul Belling Restoration's workmanship warranty does not cover pre-existing damage, deferred maintenance, structural deficiencies, or concealed conditions that were present at the property prior to the initiation of restoration work and were not part of the documented damage scope in the written service authorization. Where pre-existing conditions are discovered during restoration work, Boul Belling Restoration will notify the client in writing and provide a supplemental scope and cost estimate for any additional work required.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Washington State law, Boul Belling Restoration's total liability to any client for any claim arising from restoration services provided in Bellingham, WA or Whatcom County shall not exceed the total amount paid by the client to Boul Belling Restoration for the specific project giving rise to the claim. Boul Belling Restoration shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages — including loss of use, loss of income, or loss of business opportunity — arising from any restoration project, service delay, or website interaction, regardless of whether Boul Belling Restoration was advised of the possibility of such damages.

Boul Belling Restoration reserves the right to suspend or terminate any active restoration project in Bellingham, WA or Whatcom County if:
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Washington State law, the client agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Boul Belling Restoration, its owner Ryan Swank, its technicians, subcontractors, and authorized agents from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, costs, and legal fees — including reasonable attorney's fees — arising out of or resulting from:
This indemnification obligation survives the termination or completion of any service agreement between the client and Boul Belling Restoration.

Yes. The client who signs the Boul Belling Restoration service authorization is financially responsible for the full cost of all restoration services rendered, regardless of the outcome of any insurance claim. If your insurance carrier denies your claim, reduces the approved amount, applies a deductible, or invokes a policy exclusion that reduces the amount paid to Boul Belling Restoration, you remain responsible for the difference between what the carrier pays and the total authorized project cost. Boul Belling Restoration provides complete insurance documentation support to help maximize the likelihood of a successful claim, but we cannot guarantee any specific insurance outcome. We strongly recommend that Bellingham property owners review their insurance policy coverage before authorizing restoration work.

The warranty covers defects in the restoration work performed by our certified technicians and does not extend to pre-existing conditions, third-party materials, or damage caused by subsequent water intrusion or events unrelated to the original restoration project.
Yes. Boul Belling Restoration reserves the right to suspend or terminate an active restoration project under specific circumstances — including non-payment of invoiced amounts, discovery of undisclosed hazardous conditions at the property, client breach of the service authorization terms, or site safety conditions that present an unreasonable risk to our technicians.
