Service Overview

How We Approach It

Reconstruction after a property loss involves more coordination than a standard remodel because everything is scoped against the original mitigation documentation. We handle the trade coordination — drywall, flooring, paint, cabinetry, sometimes specialty work like plaster repair or hardwood refinishing — so you do not have to manage five different sub-contractors.

What's Included

  • Drywall replacement + finish
  • Hardwood, LVP, tile, carpet flooring
  • Cabinetry + trim work
  • Paint + finish work
  • Insurance scope-aligned
  • Single-source contracting

How the Reconstruction Timeline Actually Runs

Standard residential reconstruction after a Cat-1 or Cat-2 water loss runs 2–4 weeks once the dry-out clears. Cat-3 sewage cleanup adds another 1–2 weeks. Premium-finish units with material lead times (custom cabinets, imported tile or hardwood) can run 6–14 weeks for the rebuild phase, mostly waiting on materials. We give a real timeline at the start, with a written schedule that updates weekly so you always know what week of the project you're in and what's coming next.

The schedule honesty matters because Franklin Township homeowners often have to plan around the rebuild — temporary housing if the loss displaced the family, alternative storage for displaced contents, work-from-home arrangements if the loss affected the office space. A vague "couple weeks" estimate leaves clients stranded. A written week-by-week schedule with clear milestones lets them plan.

Material lead times are the wildcard. For commodity materials (standard drywall, mass-market flooring, contractor-grade trim), lead time is days. For specialty materials (custom cabinets, imported tile, designer paint, salvaged hardwood matches), lead time can be 6-12 weeks. We identify the long-lead items at scoping and order them as early as the insurance approval allows, so the structural work is not waiting on a cabinet shop.

What the Rebuild Typically Covers

  • Drywall replacement and finish — cut to the documented flood line during mitigation, replaced with matching board thickness, taped, mudded, sanded, primed. For older Franklin Township homes with plaster walls, we coordinate plaster repair as a specialty trade.
  • Flooring — hardwood (sand and refinish where dryable, full replacement when needed), LVP / LVT, ceramic and porcelain tile, carpet and pad. We coordinate with material suppliers to source matches for older installations or discontinued patterns.
  • Cabinetry + trim — kitchen + bath cabinets when water reached the toe-kick line, baseboards, casing, crown. Salvageable cabinets get pulled, dried in the shop, and reinstalled where possible. Custom millwork gets coordinated with the original sub if reachable.
  • Paint and finish — primer + two coats matching the original color when documented; whole-wall repaint when partial-wall blends won't read clean. Specialty finishes (Venetian plaster, lime wash, decorative finishes) get specialty-trade coordination.
  • Specialty coordination — plaster repair on older homes, custom millwork matching, designer paint matching for premium-finish units. Sub-trades scoped through us, not handed off to the homeowner.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

If you don't see your question, just call or message us.

What is IICRC S500 and why does it matter? +

IICRC S500 is the industry standard for water damage restoration — published by the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification. It defines water categories (Cat-1 clean, Cat-2 grey, Cat-3 contaminated), drying standards (moisture readings to baseline), and protocols for each. Restorers who follow S500 produce work that holds up. Restorers who skip it produce work that fails inspection or grows mold within months.

Do I have to leave my home during restoration? +

For most water-damage jobs, no. We work in the affected area while you live in the rest of the home. Cat-3 sewage cleanup requires evacuation of the affected area during the cleanup phase because the work itself aerosolizes pathogens. Major fires often require temporary relocation while smoke + soot are addressed. We discuss displacement on the first call so you can plan.

How much does water damage restoration cost? +

A typical Franklin Township residential water mitigation runs $3,000-$8,000 depending on loss size and material types affected. Reconstruction adds another $5,000-$30,000 depending on scope. Most jobs are insurance-billed after deductible. We give a realistic estimate after the on-site assessment, not a guess on the phone.

What is the difference between water damage and flood damage? +

Water damage is sudden and accidental — pipe burst, appliance failure, storm intrusion through a damaged roof. Flood damage is rising surface water from outside the structure. Standard homeowners insurance covers water damage. Flood requires separate NFIP flood insurance. We document the source clearly so the right policy pays the claim.

Are you open weekends and holidays? +

Emergency dispatch is 24/7/365 including all holidays. Reconstruction work and consultations follow business hours but we can adjust for client schedules.

How do you make sure mold does not come back? +

Mold prevention happens during drying, not after. We hold the structure under controlled airflow until moisture meters confirm wood, drywall, and substrate are back inside the manufacturer-approved dry range. Anything porous that absorbed contaminated water comes out. Surfaces receive a registered antimicrobial before reconstruction. We also pull access panels and inspect HVAC ductwork if water tracked into the system.

Will my floors and walls have to come out? +

Often less than people expect. Category-1 (clean supply-line) water that we reach inside 24-48 hours can usually be dried in place. Category-3 (sewage, river, ground intrusion) is different — IICRC S500 protocol requires removing porous materials those waters contacted. We cut to a documented flood line and replace what comes out.
