Restoration Services

We provide restoration services for fire, water, mold, storm damage, and other emergencies. Additionally, we offer specialty cleaning, odor removal, and structural repairs.

The timeline varies depending on the extent of damage. We provide a detailed estimate after assessing the situation.

Yes, we offer 24/7 emergency response to ensure immediate assistance whenever disaster strikes.

Yes. Our own crews perform the emergency work and the rebuild, under one item by item contract with a written warranty. We are not a referral service. The people who estimate the work are the people who do it.

No. You can settle the claim with us and hire any contractor you choose. Most clients stay with us because the estimate that won the claim is the same estimate we build to, so nothing falls between the adjuster and the contractor.

Yes. Every restoration is performed under permit with the village, city, or county, and we schedule and pass every inspection. In Chicago we also handle the Department of Buildings process and, after a fire, the demolition court and proceeds release paperwork.

All restoration work is covered by a written warranty. When something needs attention after you move home, we come back. Our Google reviews describe us returning years later to fix a leak or a door.

Not if the work is done right. We remove contaminated insulation and drywall, seal framing with odor blocking primer, clean or replace ductwork, and treat contents. Cleaning and painting alone does not remove smoke odor from plaster and framing, which is why underpaid claims produce houses that still smell.

Often. We remove, clean, and store original trim, doors, and hardware for reinstallation. Hardwood that is charred or saturated is replaced. We match profiles and species when replacement is needed.

We clean it when the damage is light and replace it when smoke has penetrated the system. A house that smells of smoke every time the furnace runs is a house with contaminated ducts.

Fire and heat damaged wiring is replaced, and in most older homes the whole system is brought to current code as part of the rebuild. Code upgrade coverage pays for this when the claim is presented correctly.

A shellac or oil based primer applied to framing and subfloor that locks in smoke odor. Standard paint does not do this. We use it on every fire rebuild.

We secure both units, document damage to each, and rebuild both under one contract. Smoke and water travel through shared walls and stairwells, so the undamaged unit is rarely undamaged.

Yes. Your project manager schedules walk throughs at demolition, rough in, and finish so you can make selections and see progress.

Three to five days with commercial dehumidifiers and air movers, longer if walls and subfloor were saturated. We take moisture readings daily and do not close walls until the numbers are right.

Drywall that was wet more than a day, or wet with sewer water, is removed to a foot above the water line or higher. Drywall that was damp briefly can sometimes be dried in place. We test and document each wall.

Yes. Sewer water is a health hazard. Everything porous it touched is removed and disposed of, surfaces are disinfected, and the space is cleared before rebuild. We follow industry standards for category three water.

Clean water carpet can sometimes be dried and cleaned if we reach it within a day. Pad is usually replaced. Carpet touched by sewer water is always replaced.

Yes. We inspect and test where water sat, remove affected material, and treat framing. If mold is found beyond the water damage we tell you and price it separately.

Add a battery or water powered backup sump pump, a check valve on the sewer line, and a water alarm. We install these during the rebuild and price them separately from the insurance scope.

Yes. Our licensed public adjusters read the policy, document the water source, and negotiate the claim while our crews dry and rebuild. One contract, one contact.

Yes, and many clients do. The house is already open, so moving a wall, updating a kitchen, or adding a bathroom costs far less than it would later. We price upgrades separately from the insurance scope so you always know what the carrier is paying and what you are adding.

Yes. We repair and match plaster, salvage original trim and doors, and match hardwood species and profiles. Many of the homes we restore are pre 1940.

A project manager assigned to your home, reachable by phone, who schedules the work, updates the timeline, and walks you through selections.

Yes. Our reviews mention it often. The site is swept and secured at the end of each day.

Yes. You choose cabinets, counters, flooring, tile, fixtures, and paint. Selections at or below the insurance allowance are covered. Upgrades are priced separately.

We order long lead items such as cabinets and windows early, sequence the trades, and give you a written schedule that the project manager updates as work moves.

Yes. Every rebuild is performed under permit with the village, city, or county, and we schedule and pass each inspection.

The same day when it is safe to work. Tarping stops interior damage and protects the claim, since the policy requires you to prevent further loss.

Whatever the claim supports. If the shingles cannot be matched, our adjusting team presents the matching claim so the full roof is replaced rather than patched.

Yes. We remove the tree from the structure, shore anything unsafe, and rebuild the garage, fence, deck, or porch.

Yes. Siding, soffit, fascia, gutters, downspouts, windows, and doors damaged by wind or hail are all handled by our crews.

We dry the attic and interior, replace wet insulation and drywall, and repaint. Interior storm damage is part of the same claim and the same rebuild.

Yes. Membrane punctures, lifted seams, and damaged rooftop units are inspected, documented, and repaired or replaced.

Local. We have been in Hinsdale since 2006 and hold an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. We will be here when the warranty matters.

Often. We phase work, protect finished areas, and schedule loud or dusty work off hours so tenants and customers are disrupted as little as possible.

Yes. Multi tenant buildings involve several policies and several parties. Our project manager and adjusting team keep everyone informed and keep each claim separate.

Yes, including hood and suppression systems, kitchen equipment, dining room rebuild, and the health department reopening inspection.

Yes. Fire alarm, sprinkler, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC are all handled under our contract with licensed trades and inspected by the municipality.

Yes. General liability and workers compensation, with certificates provided on request.

We prepare stamped drawings where required, file with the Department of Buildings, use an expediter when it speeds the review, and manage inspections through to occupancy.

Yes. Our licensed public adjusters handle the building, contents, and business interruption claims while the restoration division works.
