Reconstruction Services in Chicagoland
After mitigation, your property still needs to be rebuilt. We handle the full reconstruction — drywall, flooring, paint, cabinetry, and finishes — so you have one team from loss to fully restored.
- What to do immediately
- Stop the source if it's safe, keep people and pets clear of the affected area, avoid contact with sewage or contaminated water, and call (773) 389-7455.
- When to call
- Call as soon as you notice damage. Speed is what determines whether materials are dried and saved or have to be removed and replaced.
- What the restoration team does first
- A live dispatcher takes the address and situation, our Chicagoland team is mobilized, and on arrival we secure the site, document the loss, and begin mitigation.
- Does insurance documentation help?
- For covered losses, yes. We capture moisture readings, photos, and a written scope-of-work in the format insurance adjusters expect to review.
What this service actually includes
The rebuild phase is where many restoration projects lose momentum. Keeping mitigation, estimating, permitting, and construction with one accountable team shortens downtime and reduces claim friction.
Scope-to-build continuity
The rebuild is based on the mitigation record, so nothing gets lost between demolition and finished construction.
Permit and trade coordination
Framing, drywall, paint, flooring, cabinets, and specialty trades managed under one schedule.
Insurance supplement support
If hidden damage appears after walls are open, the added scope is documented correctly for approval.
What to do before we arrive
- 1
Keep all mitigation photos, scopes, drying logs, and demolition notes because they shape the rebuild estimate.
- 2
Do not hire separate trades piecemeal before the reconstruction scope is approved if insurance is involved.
- 3
List any finish upgrades or code issues early so they can be separated from covered pre-loss restoration work.
- 4
Ask for a written schedule and material plan as soon as mitigation ends so the rebuild does not stall in limbo.
