One Company From Cleanup to the Final Coat of Paint
Most restoration companies subcontract the rebuild, which means the people who dried your home are not the people who put it back together, and you end up managing two companies, two schedules, and two sets of paperwork for the adjuster. RestorePro holds the Massachusetts construction supervisor licenses required to do reconstruction in-house, so the same project manager stays on your job from the first emergency call through the final walkthrough.
After water or fire damage we start by stopping further damage and cleaning up water, debris, soot, and smoke. Then we inspect the damage carefully, plan the repair, remove what cannot be saved, and rebuild the affected areas with quality materials to current building standards. Finally we check everything, hand the property back, and help you with the insurance claim along the way.
Reconstruction Work We Do
- Framing and structural repair — Sill plates, joists, studs, and subfloor damaged by water, fire, or rot.
- Drywall, plaster, and ceilings — Removal of damaged material, new board or plaster, taping, and finishing.
- Flooring — Hardwood, tile, laminate, carpet, and subfloor replacement.
- Paint and finish carpentry — Trim, doors, cabinets, and finish paint so the repair disappears.
- Kitchens and bathrooms — The rooms most often hit by leaks, rebuilt with licensed plumbers and electricians.
- Fire rebuilds — From board-up through structural repair and full interior restoration.
- Basements — Finished basements rebuilt after flooding and sewage losses, with the moisture problem addressed first.
- Commercial and multi-unit — Tenant spaces, common areas, and units rebuilt with the documentation property managers need.
How a Reconstruction Project Works
What to expect from estimate to walkthrough.
- We provide a free estimate by licensed professionals, usually after the cleanup phase when the full scope of damage is visible.
- We coordinate the reconstruction with the cleaning of your house or business so there is no gap between the two.
- Licensed general contractors are available to answer your questions at any time during the project.
- Licensed professional subcontractors, including carpenters, electricians, and plumbers, handle their trades under our supervision.
- We write the scope and itemized estimate your insurance adjuster needs and work through the approval with you.
- The same project manager stays with you from the first call to the final walkthrough.
What not to do
- Do not start repairs before the structure is dry and the adjuster has documented the loss. Covering wet material traps moisture and can void the claim.
- Do not accept a rebuild from a company that did not see the damage. The repair plan depends on what was wet and for how long.
- Do not sign with a contractor who cannot show a Massachusetts construction supervisor license and insurance.
We Handle the Insurance Claim With You
RestorePro works directly with every major insurance carrier serving New England. We handle the documentation, photo logs, dry logs, scope-of-work writing, and itemized billing required to support your claim from start to finish. You deal with one company from the first call through the final repair, because our construction supervisor licenses let us do the rebuild in-house instead of handing you off to another contractor.

Reconstruction FAQ
Do I have to use the restoration company for the rebuild?
No, but using one company for both removes the handoff. The crew that dried the building knows exactly what was removed and why, and your adjuster gets one scope instead of two.
Is the reconstruction covered by insurance?
If the loss is covered, the repairs to put the building back to its pre-loss condition are usually part of the claim. We write the itemized scope and work with the adjuster on the approval.
How long does a rebuild take?
A single room can be a matter of days once materials are on hand. Larger fire or flood rebuilds take longer. We give you a schedule after the estimate and keep you updated as the work progresses.
Is the work permitted?
Reconstruction that requires a building permit in Massachusetts is done under our construction supervisor licenses, which is what the permit process requires, and inspected like any other permitted work.
Can you rebuild it better than it was?
Yes. Repairs are done to current building standards, and we point out the changes that will help prevent the next loss, such as better drainage, ventilation, or materials.
Do you do reconstruction for commercial properties?
Yes. Offices, retail, restaurants, and multi-unit buildings, with the documentation and scheduling property managers need.
