Rebuilding after water damage or a fire

We come in once the place is dry and rebuild, from demolition to paint.

Pierrefonds-Roxboro and the West Island

What we rebuild after a loss

Water damage

  • We open the walls to see how far the water went
  • We replace the drywall, the insulation and the subfloor
  • We check the joists before anything closes

Fire and smoke

  • We demolish the affected sections completely
  • We rebuild the structure, the walls and the roof to drawings
  • We rebuild the room, from the framing to the paint

Mould

  • We rebuild after the specialized decontamination
  • We correct the cause: ventilation, sealing or drain
  • We choose materials that handle humidity

Flooded basement

  • We cut the finishes and insulation back to sound height
  • We re-examine the drain, the pump and the cracks
  • We apply for the permit if the basement is refinished

How a rebuild unfolds

  1. Site visit

    We survey every affected room and note what can be saved.

  2. Description and price

    We describe the damage room by room, with photos and a price.

  3. Contract and permit

    We sign, then file an application if the structure is affected.

  4. Demolition

    We remove the damaged materials and log any hidden damage.

  5. Rebuild

    We redo the plumbing, the wiring, the drywall and the floors.

What we provide for your claim

We replace neither your insurer nor the claims adjuster.

  • The list of damage, room by room · instead of one lump sum for the whole house.
  • A price for each kind of work · your insurer can compare each line against its own schedule.
  • Photos of every room · the state before work, the openings made, the hidden damage.
  • Upgrades kept apart · anything unrelated to the loss sits on its own lines.

Questions about rebuilding after a loss

No. Emergency work, pumping and decontamination go to specialized firms, often sent by the insurer. We take over once the place is dry.

We hand over the list of damage, the detailed price and the photos your claim needs, and we answer the adjuster. You remain the insured and the contact.

As a rule yes, even when the insurer suggests firms from its network. Check your policy. We provide what is needed so our price can be compared.

That is common behind a flooded wall. We photograph it, price it in writing and let you add to your claim before we carry on.

Often. As soon as the rebuild touches the structure, moves plumbing or refinishes a basement as living space, the city requires one. We file the application.

Have the damage assessed at your home

We document the damage, build the quote, then rebuild under a single contract.
