Reconstruction & Build-Back

Serving all of Central Florida · Open 24/7 · (352) 507-4302

Most restoration companies stop when the building is dry and hand you a list of contractors. We do not. The same Central Florida company that opened the wall closes it again — drywall, texture, paint, trim, flooring, cabinetry, roofing and everything the damage took out. That matters more than it sounds: when mitigation and rebuild sit under one contract, nobody is waiting on a second company to schedule, and nobody is arguing about who owns the part in the middle.

  • Drywall, texture and paint matched to what was there
  • Flooring — tile, luxury vinyl plank, laminate, carpet and hardwood
  • Kitchen and bathroom cabinetry, countertops and fixtures
  • Roof repair and replacement after storm damage
  • Trim, doors, and the fiddly finish work that decides whether a repair is invisible
  • One contract, one schedule, one company answering for the result

The Handoff That Does Not Happen

The worst week of most restoration jobs is the one after the equipment leaves. The mitigation company is finished, the rebuild has not started, the adjuster is waiting on a scope from somebody who has not seen the property, and the homeowner is living in a house with no floor. That gap is not inevitable — it exists because two companies are each waiting on the other.

When it is one company, the rebuild scope is written while the drying equipment is still running, materials are ordered against a known dry-out date, and the crew that closes the wall already knows what is behind it. It is a scheduling advantage more than a technical one, and it is usually worth weeks.

Matching What Was There

Nobody wants a repair that reads as a repair. Getting there means finding the actual tile run or plank line rather than something close, matching a knockdown or orange-peel texture by hand, and being honest when a discontinued material genuinely cannot be matched. In a house where the same flooring runs through several rooms, that conversation about where a transition can legitimately go is worth having early.

Where a match is impossible, that is a coverage conversation with your carrier rather than something we quietly paper over. Florida policies vary widely on how they treat matching, and it is better to raise it in week one than to discover it at the walk-through.

Permits, Inspections and Doing It Properly

Anything structural, electrical or plumbing gets permitted. Marion, Alachua and Brevard counties each run their own building departments with their own turnaround, and the municipalities inside them add their own — which is one of the reasons an office in each market is worth having. Permits also protect you at resale, when an unpermitted rebuild becomes somebody else’s inspection finding.

We pull what the work requires and schedule the inspections. If a repair does not need a permit, we will tell you that too rather than adding a line to the invoice for one.

While You Wait for the Crew

A few minutes of the right first moves can save thousands in damage. Here is what to do — and what not to do — before we arrive.

Do

  • Keep your insurance claim number handy
  • List damaged materials and finishes room by room
  • Save receipts for anything you replace out of pocket

Don’t

  • Start demolition before everything is documented
  • Pay large cash deposits to contractors you have not vetted

How It Works

Here Is What Happens When You Call

The hardest part of property damage is facing it on your own. You do not have to — from the first phone call, it is our job, not yours.

  1. A dispatcher at her desk answering the phone

    Step 01

    You call, we answer

    Any hour, any day, a real person picks up — not a machine and not a national call center. You describe what you are looking at, and from that moment it stops being your problem to solve on your own.

  2. A technician arriving at a homeowner’s front door to look at the damage

    Step 02

    We assess

    Our crew works out how far it has really gone, including what you cannot see behind walls and under floors. You do not have to know what to look for, or guess how bad it is.

  3. A technician drawing water out of a kitchen floor with an extraction wand

    Step 03

    We do the work

    What comes out, what gets dried, what can be saved — those are our calls to make, and we explain each one as we go. Readings are recorded throughout, so nothing rests on you taking our word for it.

  4. A technician carrying equipment back to the van, waving to the homeowner at her door

    Step 04

    You get your property back to normal

    Our own team rebuilds what came out and hands the place back finished, with everything documented the way your adjuster expects it.

We Work With Your Insurance

Restoration is stressful enough without fighting through a claim alone. Our crews document everything — photos, moisture readings, and a clear scope of work — in the format adjusters expect, and we communicate with your insurance company throughout the job. You always know what is happening and what your policy covers before work begins.
