The Reconstruction Phase: What to Expect

Once the property is clean and safe, the "build-back" can begin.

• Step 1: Structural Assessment & EngineeringBefore we build, we must ensure the home's "bones" are safe. We bring in structural engineers (if needed) to assess the foundation, load-bearing walls, and roof trusses.
• Step 2: Scoping & Insurance ApprovalWe work with your insurance adjuster to create a detailed scope of work. This includes all the materials and labor—from the framing and insulation to the cabinets and light fixtures—needed to restore your home.
• Step 3: Permits & DemolitionWe handle all permitting with your local Redwood City, CA municipality. We then perform a careful demolition, removing all charred and non-salvageable materials to create a clean slate.
• Step 4: The "Rough-In" (Rebuilding)This is where the magic happens. Our crews will:Re-frame walls, floors, and roofing.Install new plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems.Install new insulation and drywall.
• Step 5: The "Finishes" (Restoration)This is the final step. We install your new flooring, cabinets, and countertops, and apply a fresh, final coat of paint. We don't stop until your house is a home again.
