Mitigation ends. The rebuild begins.
Same project manager. No handoff.

Most restoration jobs end at "we dried it" and hand the rebuild to someone else. We don't. The same team that mitigated water, fire, smoke, mold, flood, or sewage damage rebuilds it back — drywall to paint, flooring to cabinetry, electrical to HVAC. CSLB licensed. Bonded. Insured. One project manager from emergency dispatch through final walkthrough.

▲ BUILD-BACK GANTT · 8-WEEK STANDARD

Every reconstruction project runs on a schedule. Here's what yours looks like.

Reconstruction isn't linear — it's overlapping. Demo while drying. Rough plumbing while electrical roughs in. Drywall blocking on inspection. Each phase has a window, dependencies, and a milestone gate. We schedule it before we start, log it daily, and update you weekly.

▲ SCOPE OF WORK · SAMPLE LINE-ITEM

Every project gets a written scope. Yours looks like this.

Before reconstruction starts, we deliver a line-item scope-of-work document: every trade, every material, every quantity, every milestone. Insurance carriers see this exact format. Homeowners see exactly what they're paying for. No surprise change orders mid-build.

▲ INSURANCE-READY
▲ SAME-PM vs TRADITIONAL HANDOFF

"Find a separate contractor for the rebuild" is the most expensive thing you can do. Here's why.

Most restoration companies hand you off after mitigation: "We dried it. Now find a GC for the rebuild." That handoff costs you 30-50% in time, money, and stress. We keep it under one roof — same PM, same insurance file, same timeline.

TRADITIONAL HANDOFFmost companies
✗Two project managers. Restoration PM hands off to a GC who never saw the original damage.
✗Two insurance files. Mitigation invoice + reconstruction bid. Carrier reconciles them. Often with disputes.
✗Gap weeks. Mitigation ends. You hunt for a GC. They estimate, schedule, start. 2-4 weeks lost.
✗Scope disputes. "That's not in my scope" — the friction line between mitigation + reconstruction.
✗Match-back struggles. New GC sources different finishes. Rooms don't blend with rest of house.
→ ~30-50% more total project cost
OUR ONE-PM MODEL→ START TO FINISH
✓One project manager. Same person from emergency dispatch through final walkthrough. Knows every surface.
✓One insurance file. Mitigation + reconstruction documented as a continuous scope. Carrier processes once.
✓No gap weeks. Drying ends Friday. Demo starts Monday. Schedule preserved. Job stays moving.
✓One scope. No friction line. Mitigation + reconstruction are the same line item to us.
✓Match-back guaranteed. We sourced the original finishes. We blend the rebuild.

▲ PERMITS + INSPECTIONS · MILESTONE BOARD

Insurance-ready means permit-ready. Every job. Every time.

Reconstruction work in WH (LADBS jurisdiction) requires permits when scope crosses certain thresholds. We pull, schedule, and pass every required inspection — no shortcuts, no unpermitted work, no future buyer disclosure issues.

Class B General Contractor. Licensed CSLB #1078518. Bonded + insured.

Reconstruction is a contractor's license event — not a restoration certification. We carry both: IICRC for the mitigation phases, and CSLB Class B for the full build-back. License current. Bond current. Insurance current. Verifiable on the California State License Board portal before any contract is signed.

Same WH HQ since 2007. Same project manager from emergency dispatch through final walkthrough.

▲ WH RECONSTRUCTION FAQ

Questions WH homeowners ask before signing.

Do you do reconstruction without prior mitigation work?
Yes. We're a CSLB Class B General Contractor. We can take on standalone reconstruction projects (kitchen remodel, post-other-contractor build-back, etc) — not just our own mitigation work. The advantage is biggest when we did the mitigation, but it's not a requirement.
What does reconstruction cost in Woodland Hills?
Highly variable by scope. Single-room rebuild post-water damage: $15,000-$45,000. Multi-room kitchen + bathroom: $50,000-$150,000. Full-house post-fire: $200,000-$600,000+. We provide written scope-of-work + line-item estimate before any contract is signed. Most insurance covers reconstruction tied to a covered loss.
How long does reconstruction take?
Single room (drywall, paint, flooring): 14-21 days. Multi-room with cabinetry: 30-60 days. Full-house: 60-180 days. Each project gets a Gantt-scheduled timeline. We update you weekly. Schedule slips happen — usually due to inspection waits or material lead times — and we communicate them within 24 hours.
Do you pull permits?
Yes — every required permit. WH falls under LADBS (Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety). Building, electrical, plumbing, mechanical, demolition — we pull what's required. Unpermitted reconstruction work creates resale disclosure problems and insurance issues 5+ years later. We don't shortcut this.
Can I upgrade finishes during reconstruction?
Yes. The "insurance-paid scope" covers like-for-like replacement. If you want to upgrade (better tile, custom cabinetry, premium fixtures), you pay the delta. We provide a clear cost breakdown showing insurance scope vs upgrade scope, so there's no confusion at billing.
Will my insurance pay for reconstruction?
If reconstruction is tied to a covered loss (water, fire, mold, etc), yes — your insurance covers reconstruction back to pre-loss condition. We document the scope to insurance carrier standard, photograph everything, and bill direct. Upgrades and code-required updates beyond pre-loss scope are usually homeowner-paid.
Do you match the existing finishes?
When possible, yes — we source identical or closest-match materials from the original supplier or a comparable equivalent. When discontinued, we offer multiple matched-tone alternatives. Match-back is one reason single-PM-from-mitigation-to-rebuild beats hiring separate contractors — we sourced the original.
Can I live in my home during reconstruction?
Depends on scope. Single-room reconstruction: usually yes. Multi-room with kitchen out of service: often no. Whole-house: no. We coordinate Additional Living Expenses (ALE) with your insurance carrier when relocation is required — most policies cover it.
