Reconstruction & Build-Back

Serving all of St. Louis - West · Open 24/7 · (314) 455-5900

Most restoration companies dry your home, tear out the damage, and leave you to find a contractor. We do not. Our reconstruction team picks up exactly where mitigation ends - drywall, flooring, trim, cabinets, paint - so one team carries your home from disaster back to finished.

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

Crews are standing by in St. Louis - West right now.

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.
