Repair • Remodel • Rebuild
When Property Damage Changes Your Space, RestorU Helps You Determine What Comes Next
From Property Damage to a Finished Space
Emergency restoration is often only the beginning.
After water has been removed, fire or smoke damage has been cleaned, contaminated materials have been addressed, or storm damage has been stabilized, the affected areas still need to be put back together.
Depending upon the extent of the loss, that may mean repairing damaged portions of the property, remodeling areas while work is already underway, or rebuilding when the damage is extensive.
RestorUcan help move your project from restoration through the next phase of recovery.
Repair What Was Damaged
Not every property loss requires extensive reconstruction.
Some homes and businesses need focused repairs to walls, ceilings, flooring, roofing, framing, doors, windows, or other components affected by the original damage.
Once mitigation is complete, RestorU can identify the areas requiring repair and complete the work necessary to restore the damaged portions of the property.
Remodel When the Opportunity Makes Sense
Sometimes damage creates an unexpected opportunity to make changes you were already considering.
If flooring, walls, cabinetry, fixtures, or other portions of a room must be removed and replaced, you may decide that restoring everything exactly as it was is not the best choice for your home or business.
You may want to update finishes, change the layout, improve functionality, or incorporate other improvements while the affected area is already under construction.
RestorU can help distinguish the restoration work required because of the loss from the remodeling choices you elect to make as part of the project.
Rebuild When Damage Is Extensive
Fire, severe storms, flooding, fallen trees, and other major property losses can cause damage that goes beyond ordinary repairs.
When portions of a structure must be rebuilt, the project may involve removing compromised materials and reconstructing the affected areas from the structural components outward.
Depending upon the damage, rebuilding may include:
-
Framing and structural components
-
Walls and ceilings
-
Flooring
-
Roofing and exterior materials
-
Windows and doors
-
Electrical and plumbing components
-
Interior finishes
-
Other work necessary to restore the damaged portion of the property
RestorU can coordinate the transition from mitigation into rebuilding so the next phase begins with a clear understanding of the damage and the work required.
Repair • Remodel • Rebuild — One Property, Different Needs
No two property losses are exactly alike.
One project may require only repairs. Another may involve substantial rebuilding. A property owner may also decide to incorporate remodeling into the work while damaged areas are already being restored.
That is why RestorU approaches each property individually.
The objective is to determine what must be repaired, what needs to be rebuilt, and whether the property owner wants to make additional changes during the process.
Restoration and Remodeling Are Different
Restoration work addresses damage to the property.
Remodeling involves changes, improvements, or upgrades selected by the property owner.
When both are included in the same project, keeping the two scopes clearly identified helps everyone understand which work is necessary because of the property loss and which work represents an elective improvement.
That distinction becomes especially important when an insurance claim is involved.
Working With Your Insurance Company
When covered property damage requires repairs or rebuilding, RestorU can provide documentation concerning the restoration work and coordinate with your insurance company during the claim process.
Insurance coverage depends upon the individual policy and the circumstances of the loss. Remodeling choices, upgrades, or other improvements beyond covered restoration work may be the responsibility of the property owner.
RestorU can help keep those portions of the project clearly identified as the work progresses.
The Scope May Change As Damage Is Exposed
The full extent of property damage is not always visible when restoration begins.
Once wet, burned, contaminated, or structurally damaged materials are removed, additional problems may be discovered.
A project that initially appears to require limited repairs may ultimately involve more extensive work.
That is why the recovery process may progress through several stages:
Mitigation → Repair → Remodel → Rebuild → Completion
The exact path depends upon the property, the damage, and the choices made by the property owner.

RestorU works with residential and commercial property owners following property damage.
A residential project may involve repairing a damaged room, remodeling an affected space, or rebuilding a significant portion of a home.
