i am not sure who has the best reputation in Calgary, but at least for the emergency services (tear out and drying) use a company like Winmar or Belfor, or basically one of your insurance company's preferred vendors. For the rebuild, that is when you can use your buddy down the street or continue on with the same vendor.
Thanks for the help!

If they dry out the place where I don't need to worry about the mould... do I still need to rip out all the flooring baseboards and lino? I'd essentially need to re-do the whole apartment if I start that or else everything will look different. That'd be a huge expense...
