Drying out a home is only half the job when the damage went beyond what could be saved. Wet drywall that had to be cut out, cabinetry that swelled and delaminated, hardwood that cupped past repair — all of that needs to be rebuilt before your home feels like home again.
The usual path is finding a separate contractor after your restoration crew leaves, explaining the whole situation again, and hoping the new estimate lines up with what your insurance approved.
We build it back ourselves. The same team that dried your home handles the drywall, flooring, cabinetry, and paint that follow — one point of contact, one timeline, no re-explaining the job to a stranger.
When You Need Reconstruction Services
- Drywall had to be cut out during water damage drying
- Cabinetry swelled, delaminated, or warped beyond repair
- Flooring cupped, buckled, or couldn't be salvaged
- Framing or subfloor needed replacement after extended moisture exposure
- Your insurance claim includes an approved rebuild scope
How Our Reconstruction Process Works
- 1
Scope the rebuild
Once drying is complete, we document exactly what needs to be replaced and write a detailed rebuild scope, matched to what your insurance has approved when a claim is involved.
- 2
Permits & materials
We pull any required permits and order materials to match your home's existing finishes as closely as possible.
- 3
Drywall & framing
Cut-out drywall is replaced and finished, and any affected framing is repaired before we move on to finishes.
- 4
Flooring & cabinetry
We install new flooring and cabinetry to match, coordinating with our hardwood floor water damage and cabinet water damage repair processes when those materials were affected.
- 5
Paint & final walkthrough
Paint, trim, and touch-ups finish the job, and we walk the space with you before calling it done.

What Affects Reconstruction Cost
We provide a written, line-item estimate before rebuild work starts. Cost depends on:

- Whether materials need to match existing finishes throughout an open floor plan
- Permit requirements for structural or electrical work
- Whether the rebuild is covered by an insurance claim or paid out of pocket
