Burst pipes, leaking dishwashers, overflowing tubs and slow leaks behind walls. Once the house is dry, we replace the drywall, insulation, floors, cabinets and trim that were damaged, and fix the leak for good.
Make the house safe first. Shut off the water at the main valve, stay away from wet outlets and the electrical panel, and call your insurer to open a claim. They usually send a cleanup company to remove the water and dry the house, or to clean up after smoke. We don't do that emergency cleanup. We come in once the house is dry and rebuild everything that was damaged, and you're welcome to call us now to talk it through.
Water travels. A leak upstairs usually means a ceiling, a wall and a floor below it. We open up what is wet, confirm it is dry and rebuild it so it lasts.
Most water damage we see starts at a shower, a toilet, a dishwasher or a pipe in an outside wall, then spreads to the ceiling or floor below. We rebuild the room it started in and the rooms it reached.
Family owned since 2003We are a family-owned renovation company with offices in Oakville and Burlington. The people who write your rebuild scope are the people who build it.
Call your insurer to open a claim. If water is still in the house or there was smoke, a cleanup company removes it and dries or cleans the house. Your insurer usually arranges this.
We look at every damaged room, take photos and measurements, and write up exactly what needs to be rebuilt, room by room.
We can walk the house with your adjuster and answer their questions, so the approved scope matches the damage that is really there.
Insurance pays to put things back as they were. If you want more, such as a new layout or better finishes, we price it separately so you decide.
A project lead runs the job with our own crews and licensed trades, with permits where they are needed. You see updates and photos in your client portal.
We go over every room together and finish your list. Our four-year workmanship warranty starts here.
Most water damage rebuilds start within a few days of the house being dry and the scope approved. One room usually takes one to two weeks on site.
“This was our second time doing a kitchen reno, and this team made me realize the difference an honest contractor can make.”
“Elijah and his team did a fantastic job renovating our kitchen. From start to finish, communication was easy, clear, and straightforward.”
“They did the design with us before we even signed. Came in and finished on time as they said. Very few contractors do that these days.”

Hidden damage, drying, what insurance usually pays for and matching finishes.
Stains or bubbling paint on a ceiling, drywall that feels soft, baseboards pulling away from the wall, floors that cup or lift, and a musty smell. Water often sits inside a wall or under a floor long after the surface looks dry.
Closing up wet framing or subfloor traps the moisture, and that is how mould starts. The cleanup company dries the house with fans and dehumidifiers and checks it with a moisture meter. We check it again before we close anything up.
Most policies cover sudden water damage, such as a burst pipe or an appliance that failed, and not a leak that went on slowly for months. They usually pay for the damage the water caused, while fixing the worn-out part itself, such as an old pipe, may not be covered. Your adjuster decides.
Flooring often runs through several rooms, and a discontinued floor can't always be matched. If the damaged floor can't be matched, show your adjuster where it runs. We'll put it in the written scope so the decision is made before we start.
No. Removing water, drying the house and cleaning smoke are done by a cleanup company, which your insurer usually arranges. We come in after that and rebuild. If you are not sure the house is dry enough to rebuild, call us and we will tell you honestly.
Usually within a few days of the house being dry and the scope approved by your insurer. If you are paying for the repair yourself, as soon as it is dry.
Yes. Our licensed plumber finds and fixes the leak as part of the rebuild, whether it is a failed shut-off valve, a shower that was never waterproofed or a pipe in a cold outside wall.
Most home policies cover sudden water damage, such as a burst pipe or a failed appliance. Damage that built up slowly, and the worn part that caused it, may not be covered. Your adjuster decides, and we give them a written scope with photos to work from.
Usually, yes. We match paint by sampling it and track down the same or a close flooring. If a floor can't be matched, we show you and your adjuster the options before anything is ordered.
Yes, and it is often the best time to do it. Insurance pays to put the room back as it was. If you want a different layout or better finishes, we price the difference separately so you can see exactly what you are adding.
In most cases, yes. Your insurer may suggest a contractor, but you can usually choose your own. Check your policy and tell your adjuster who you want to use, and we will send them our written scope.
Yes. Everything we build is covered by our four-year workmanship warranty, the same as on our renovations. If anything we built is not right in the first four years, we come back and fix it.
