When Weather Attacks Your Home
A severe storm tears through your neighborhood leaving damaged siding and trim. A pipe bursts flooding a bedroom ceiling. Ice dams cause water to seep behind exterior paint. These emergencies demand immediate attention—but finding contractors who can handle both repair and refinishing is challenging. The damage worsens while you wait.

We handle the full restoration process from structural repair through final finishing. Our team assesses damage, completes necessary repairs, addresses moisture issues properly, and restores surfaces with appropriate protective coatings. One contractor, one warranty, your home restored right.

From emergency assessment to final finish—comprehensive restoration.
Exterior Restoration
Replace rotted trim, repair damaged siding, and repaint weathered surfaces. We address underlying issues before applying weather-resistant finishes that protect your investment.
Drywall & Plaster Repair
Remove water-damaged materials, address moisture issues, and restore walls and ceilings. Stain-blocking primers prevent bleed-through from water stains.
Interior Restoration
After repairs are complete, we restore interior finishes to pre-damage condition. Mold-resistant paints in moisture-prone areas provide lasting protection.
Exterior Cleaning
Remove storm debris, mildew, and dirt before painting. Proper cleaning is essential for paint adhesion and ensures restored surfaces last.

Our Restoration Process
Thorough assessment, proper repair, lasting restoration.
Damage Assessment

Surface Preparation
Proper priming with stain-blocking and mold-resistant products where needed. This step is critical for lasting restoration results.

Weather & Water Damage Restoration FAQs
Common questions about our services
Yes—we regularly work with insurance claims and can provide detailed estimates and documentation that insurers need. We'll meet with adjusters if helpful and provide before-and-after photos for your claim file. Our experience helps the process go more smoothly.
We understand storm damage can worsen quickly. We typically schedule initial assessments within one to two days of contact. For active leaks or urgent situations, we can often respond same-day to help prevent further damage while planning permanent repairs.
It depends on the situation. Emergency measures to prevent further damage should happen immediately regardless of insurance. For cosmetic repairs, waiting for claim approval is usually wise. We can advise on what needs immediate attention versus what can wait.
Proper drying is essential—we ensure affected areas are thoroughly dried before closing up walls or painting. We use moisture meters to verify dryness, remove any materials that can't be properly dried, and apply mold-resistant primers and paints in affected areas.
We take great care to match existing textures and colors. For drywall, we replicate your existing texture pattern. For paint, we can match existing colors or recommend repainting entire walls or sections for uniform appearance. The goal is invisible repairs.
