Reconstruction services

Structural repairs & reinforcement

When water damage or flooding affects load-bearing elements, structural repairs ensure your property's safety and stability. Flooding can compromise foundations and structural integrity in ways that require specialized assessment. We handle foundation repairs, beam replacement, floor joist reinforcement, and other structural work that may be required.

Drywall installation & finishing

Water-damaged drywall requires removal and replacement with properly installed new materials. Flooding often saturates drywall beyond salvage, requiring complete removal and replacement. Our drywall work includes insulation, vapor barriers, texture matching, and paint-ready finishing that integrates perfectly with existing walls.

Flooring replacement & installation

Water damage and flooding often require flooring replacement, providing opportunities to upgrade materials or improve layouts. Floodwater contamination typically necessitates complete flooring removal for health and safety. We install hardwood, tile, luxury vinyl, carpet, and other flooring types with attention to subfloor preparation and moisture control.

Kitchen & bathroom reconstruction

When water damage or flooding affects kitchens or bathrooms, reconstruction can incorporate improvements like better layouts, upgraded fixtures, improved ventilation, and enhanced storage solutions.

Custom millwork & trim restoration

Damaged trim, molding, and custom millwork require skilled carpentry to match existing profiles and finishes. We restore architectural details that maintain your property's character and value.
