Step 2: Get a Clear Plan — Including Insurance and Financing Options

✔ We’ll help you start a claim onsite, if needed, and coordinate any necessary inspections or reports (like leak detection).
✔ If it makes more sense to handle things privately, we’ll give you a clear and honest estimate — no surprises.
✔ Financing options are available if needed, so you don’t have to delay important repairs.

Our job is to work for you — not the insurance company — and guide you toward the right solution for your home.

Step 3: Mitigation — Protecting and Preparing Your Home

✔ Electronic work authorization makes starting fast and easy.
✔ Pack-out services if needed to protect your belongings.
✔ Environmental testing to ensure safe, compliant restoration.
✔ Set up protections around undamaged areas to prevent further issues.
✔ Begin any necessary demolition, cleanup, and drying to stabilize the property.

Step 4: Coordinating with Insurance and Adjusters

✔ We’ll prepare a detailed repair estimate and review it with you, so you understand what’s included.
✔ Coordinate directly with your insurance adjuster to get approvals — taking that burden off your shoulders.
✔ If you choose to handle repairs privately, we can move directly to the reconstruction phase without waiting on insurance.

Step 5: Repairs and Reconstruction — Restoring Your Home the Right Way

✔ Scope of work and contract for review and approval, so everything is clear before we begin.
✔ A dedicated Project Manager will oversee repairs, ensuring quality and timeliness.
✔ We’ll help with material selections, like flooring and paint, if needed.
✔ Our team gets to work — efficiently and professionally — keeping you updated along the way.

Step 6: Final Review and Warranty — Standing By Our Work

✔ Final walkthrough and review to ensure all work meets your expectations.
✔ Handle any final paperwork or insurance closeout.
✔ Collect final payment only when the work is done.
✔ Two-year workmanship warranty — because we stand behind the quality of our work.
✔ Ongoing support — we’re here for you if you ever need help in the future.
