Restoration
Fire damage restoration.
We don't determine what your policy covers. We determine what it takes to restore it right.
This is the longest rebuild of the four.
A fire usually means the house cannot be lived in while it is put back together, and the damage runs further than the burnt rooms. Heat, smoke and the water used to put the fire out all reach places the fire never did. Identifying that full extent, and documenting it properly at the start, is what decides how the rest of the year goes.
What we do.
Structural assessment
We identify the structural repairs the fire made necessary.
Structure and interiors
Damaged structure repaired, interiors rebuilt to current code.
Documented scope
The full scope documented in XactRemodel, priced line by line.
We speak the same language as your insurance company.
Level 3 Xactimate certified estimatorWe are not telling your insurer what something should cost. Structural repairs are easy to under-scope after a fire, so we document them as their own line rather than folding them into a lump sum. We estimate in XactRemodel, a detailed, standardized estimating model from the same software family as Xactimate, so the scope is documented and priced line by line.
You will not be living there while we work
A fire almost always means living somewhere else until the house is finished. We walk the property with you early and tell you what the rebuild involves and roughly how long it runs, so you can make arrangements around a real schedule instead of a guess.
And what we don't do.
So you know who to call for what.
We are not public adjusters.
The carrier determines coverage; we document the full extent of what the fire, smoke and water reached.
We are not a mitigation company.
For fire, water, mold or similar losses, specialized mitigation can be handled or coordinated as needed. Our role is the general contracting and reconstruction the property needs.
Tell us what happened.
Call 224-850-4663 or schedule a consultation, and we will come and look at the property, at no charge.
