The rebuild

Cleanup and reconstruction are two different trades.

We do the mitigation and cleanup: extraction, drying, soot and odor removal, and the documentation your adjuster needs. When the structure is dry and it is time to put the house back together, the reconstruction goes to Keselman Construction Group, our sister company under the same ownership.

Who rebuilds

The rebuild goes to Keselman Construction Group.

Keselman Construction Group is a remodeling and construction company under the same ownership as ours, and it handles the reconstruction phase of our projects. Putting the rebuild in the hands of people who build for a living is the reason the two companies are separate.

Their craftsmen, designers, project managers and suppliers all work on reconstruction full time, which is what keeps the schedule and the finish quality where they should be.

  • They are different skills

    Cleaning soot off a surface and installing cabinets, countertops and tile are not the same job. You would not ask your plumber to work on your electrical panel.

  • Do not get locked in

    Some emergency board-up and tarping contracts sign you up for the cleanup and the rebuild at once, while you are making decisions under pressure. Take the time to choose who rebuilds your home.

  • Look them up first

    Read the reviews, look at the before-and-after photos, and ask for references from homeowners they have rebuilt for — the same thing we would ask you to do about us.

Projects

What we facilitate during the rebuild

How it goes

Three steps, and the first one comes with no obligation.

The same sequence on every job, whatever caused it.

Step 1

Call us, any hour

A person answers at any hour. A First Responder is typically on site within 1 hour to establish the next course of action. The on-site consultation and the estimate come with no obligation. If you only have questions, we are happy to help.

Step 2

On-site inspection

We use moisture detection equipment to look for water behind drywall, under flooring and inside wall cavities. If you file an insurance claim, we document the loss and work directly with your adjuster.

Step 3

Restoration

We do the cleanup and drying. For the rebuild, our project manager facilitates communications between you, the municipality, our suppliers and the professional tradesmen to make sure things run smoothly and the timeline is followed, and keeps you informed as the work moves forward.
