Storm-Damage Reconstruction
Storm and hurricane damage reconstruction – assessment, scope documentation, permits and rebuilding – managed as one coordinated project.
Overview
After a storm, the damage you can see – a lost roof section, broken openings, fallen trees – is often only part of it. Water that entered through the roof or walls can affect insulation, drywall, flooring, electrical systems and framing, and some damage only shows up after materials are opened.
We start with an assessment of the property and, where structural damage is a concern, a licensed engineer’s evaluation. That becomes a written scope and price for the reconstruction: what must be removed, what must be repaired or replaced, and what current code requirements apply to the rebuilt work.
We do not act as a public adjuster and do not negotiate insurance claims. We can provide scope documentation, photographs and pricing for the work, which you may share with your insurer. Licensed trade partners perform roofing, electrical, plumbing and HVAC work, and we coordinate the whole rebuild as one project.
Who it’s for
- Homeowners with roof, window, wall or water damage after a hurricane or severe storm
- Commercial owners who need a damaged building back in service
- Property managers coordinating repairs across multiple units
- Owners who want a single contractor to manage the rebuild from assessment to finishes
- Owners who want to add resilience, such as impact openings, while rebuilding

- Interior reconstruction: insulation, drywall, cabinetry, flooring and paint
- Permits and inspections for the rebuilt work
Common exclusions
- Public adjusting, claim negotiation or coverage advice

Every proposal lists its own inclusions and exclusions in writing.
Materials, design options & upgrades
How pricing works
Storm reconstruction is priced on an assessment basis. We document the damage, open materials where needed, and build a written scope with line-item pricing. Where structural damage is involved, the engineer’s findings set that part of the scope.
Hidden damage found after removal is documented with photographs and priced before it is repaired. Upgrades you choose are priced separately from repair of storm damage so the two are easy to distinguish.
What changes the cost
- Extent of structural damage and the engineer’s repair design
- Roof area and roofing system
- Number and type of windows and doors to replace
- Extent of water damage to interiors
- Electrical, plumbing and HVAC damage
- Code requirements that apply to rebuilt work
- Material and labor availability after a regional storm
If this work is part of a larger project, it’s priced within that project’s budget — please don’t add separate estimates together. Read the pricing guide.
Typical stages
Assessment
We document visible damage, coordinate temporary protection and identify where engineering is needed.
Scope and pricing
A written scope, photos and pricing are prepared for you to review and share as you choose.
Removal
Damaged materials are removed, and hidden damage is documented and added to the scope with your approval.
Permits
Permits are obtained for structural, roofing and system repairs.
Reconstruction
Structure, envelope and systems are rebuilt by licensed trade partners under our supervision, with inspections at each stage.
Finishes and closeout
Interiors are finished, final inspections completed and documentation handed over.
What affects the schedule
- Demand for trades and materials after a regional storm
- Permit office volume following major events
- Engineer availability for structural evaluations
- Drying time before interiors can be rebuilt
- Product lead times for roofing, windows and doors
Questions & answers
Do you work with my insurance company?
We do not act as a public adjuster or negotiate claims. We can provide scope documentation, photos and pricing for the work, and you decide how to share them with your insurer.
Will the rebuilt work have to meet current code?
Repaired and replaced work is generally permitted and inspected under the code in effect, which may differ from what was originally built. Your building department sets the requirements.
Can I upgrade while I rebuild?
Yes. Upgrades are priced separately from storm-damage repair so you can see the difference clearly.
