After a flood, a fire or a leak, we rebuild the rooms that were damaged and work with your insurance, from the written scope to the final walkthrough, across Oakville and Burlington.
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.
The cleanup company makes the house safe and dry. We put it back together, properly, with the same crews and trades who build our renovations.

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 rebuilds start once the house is dry and the adjuster has approved the scope. Time on site depends on how many rooms were damaged, from about a week for one room to a few months after a large fire.
“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.”

What to do first, what insurance usually covers and how long it takes.
Make the house safe, then call your insurer to open a claim. Take photos and video of every damaged room before anything is thrown out, and keep receipts for anything you buy, such as fans or a hotel night. Don't start rebuilding before the adjuster has seen the damage.
Most home policies cover sudden damage, such as a burst pipe, a kitchen fire or a storm, and not damage that built up slowly over a long time. Sewer backup and overland flooding are often only covered if that coverage was added to the policy. Your policy and your adjuster decide what is covered.
A cleanup company removes water, dries the house and cleans smoke. A mould remediation company removes mould. We rebuild: framing, insulation, drywall, floors, kitchens, bathrooms, electrical and plumbing through licensed trades, and every finish, with the permits the work needs.
One room, such as a bathroom or part of a basement, usually takes one to two weeks on site once the scope is approved. A kitchen takes a few weeks, because cabinets are built to measure. A house after a large fire takes a few months, with permits and inspections along the way.
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.
Water damage from leaks and burst pipes, flooded basements, fire and smoke damage, and mould damage once the mould has been removed. We rebuild any room: kitchens, bathrooms, basements, ceilings, floors and stairs.
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.
You do. Your insurer pays the approved amount for the repair, less your deductible. Anything you add on top of the approved repairs, such as upgrades, is between you and us and priced separately.
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.
Not to replace drywall, floors or cabinets as they were. You do need a building permit to repair or replace framing, beams or other structure, and electrical work goes through the Electrical Safety Authority. We handle the permit and the inspections.
