What We Handle
Reconstruction & Repairs After Damage
Full Structural Rebuilds
Framing, drywall, insulation, and ceilings — from studs back to finished rooms.
Flooring & Finishes
Hardwood, tile, carpet, trim, and paint matched to what you had — or upgraded while it's open.
Permits & Inspections
We pull the permits and schedule the inspections — your rebuild is done right and documented.
Kitchens & Baths
Cabinet, vanity, and fixture replacement after water and fire losses — the rooms damage hits hardest.
Insurance-Scope Rebuilds
Our estimates match your claim scope line-for-line — no surprise gaps between payout and work.
One Schedule, No Handoffs
The same company that mitigated runs the rebuild — no waiting weeks for a separate contractor.

Common Questions
Answers before you call.
Why use the same company for mitigation and rebuild?+
No handoff gap. A separate contractor means a second estimate, a second schedule, and finger-pointing if something's off. One company owns the result from emergency call to final walkthrough.
Will the rebuild match my insurance payout?+
Yes — we write rebuild estimates to match the approved claim scope line-for-line, and communicate directly with your adjuster if supplements are needed.
How long does reconstruction take?+
A single room is often days; whole-floor rebuilds typically run a few weeks depending on materials and permits. You get a schedule up front and one point of contact throughout.
Can I upgrade finishes during the rebuild?+
Absolutely — many customers upgrade flooring or fixtures while walls are open. Insurance covers like-for-like; you pay only the difference for upgrades.
Damage doesn't wait. Neither do we.
