Licensed builder providing complete reconstruction after water damage — drywall, flooring, cabinets, and full rebuilds under one roof.
From demolition to finished rebuild, one company handles everything.
Water damage restoration does not end when the structure is dry. Damaged drywall, warped flooring, ruined cabinets, and deteriorated trim all need to be rebuilt to return your home to its pre-loss condition. Many restoration companies handle only the mitigation phase — water extraction and drying — and then leave you to find a separate contractor for repairs. Prime Restoration of Macomb is different. As a licensed builder in the state of Michigan, we handle the entire restoration process from emergency water extraction through finished reconstruction, so you deal with one company, one point of contact, and one seamless process from start to finish.
Our reconstruction crews handle everything from minor drywall patches and baseboards to complete room rebuilds including framing, electrical, plumbing, drywall, flooring, cabinetry, countertops, painting, and trim. Homeowners in Sterling Heights, Clinton Township, Shelby Township, Warren, and throughout Macomb County appreciate that they do not have to coordinate between a restoration company and a general contractor. We manage every trade, pull necessary permits, and ensure all work meets Michigan building codes.
Prime Restoration of Macomb understands that after the stress of water damage, our clients want their homes back to normal as quickly as possible — and often, they want to take the opportunity to upgrade finishes during the rebuild. Whether you want to match your existing materials exactly or use the reconstruction as an opportunity to install new flooring, update cabinets, or modernize a bathroom, our licensed builders work with you to achieve the result you want. We also prepare detailed Xactimate estimates that your insurance company requires and coordinate directly with your adjuster to ensure the reconstruction scope is fully covered.
Water damage gets exponentially worse over time. Here is what happens if you wait.
Once structural drying is complete, reconstruction should begin promptly to protect exposed framing and subfloor from dust, debris, and recontamination. Delays leave your home in a partially demolished state that is unpleasant and potentially unsafe to live in.
Insurance companies expect reconstruction to proceed in a timely manner after mitigation is complete. Extended delays between drying and reconstruction can complicate your claim and may raise questions about additional damage that occurs during the gap.
Every day your home is partially demolished is a day your family lives in a construction zone or incurs additional living expenses in temporary housing. Prompt reconstruction minimizes the total disruption to your household.
Exposed wall cavities, unfinished subfloors, and open framing are vulnerable to dust, pests, accidental damage, and moisture reintroduction. Completing reconstruction promptly protects the work done during mitigation and prevents new problems.
A proven, step-by-step approach to restoring your property.
After drying is verified complete, our licensed builder walks through the property with you to determine the full reconstruction scope. We document every item that needs repair or replacement — drywall, flooring, cabinets, trim, painting, electrical, plumbing — and discuss any upgrades you would like to incorporate.
We prepare a detailed Xactimate estimate — the industry-standard software that insurance adjusters use — itemizing every material and labor component of the reconstruction. We submit this directly to your insurance adjuster and negotiate on your behalf to ensure the scope is fully covered.
We guide you through material selections for flooring, paint, cabinetry, countertops, and fixtures. Whether you want to match your pre-loss materials or upgrade, we source materials quickly to keep the project on schedule.
If water damage affected structural framing, electrical wiring, or plumbing, these systems are repaired or replaced first. All work is performed by licensed trades and inspected per Michigan building code requirements.
New drywall is hung, taped, and finished. Flooring is installed — hardwood, tile, carpet, or LVP. Cabinets, countertops, and trim are installed. All surfaces are primed and painted. Every detail is finished to a quality standard that matches or exceeds your pre-loss condition.
We conduct a detailed final walkthrough with you, addressing any punch-list items until you are completely satisfied. We provide documentation of all completed work for your records and insurance file. Your home is fully restored and ready to enjoy.
Comprehensive water damage reconstruction for every situation.
Common questions about water damage reconstruction in Macomb County.
Using one company for both mitigation and reconstruction eliminates the handoff problems that commonly occur when two separate contractors are involved. There is no gap in responsibility, no finger-pointing about pre-existing conditions versus new damage, and no delay waiting for a general contractor to become available. Prime Restoration of Macomb manages the entire process seamlessly, which results in faster completion, lower total costs, and a better final result. Your insurance company also benefits from a single, consistent documentation trail.
Yes, Prime Restoration of Macomb holds a Michigan residential builder license, which is required for reconstruction work exceeding minor repairs. This license means we are qualified to perform structural framing, electrical coordination, plumbing coordination, and comprehensive reconstruction projects. Many restoration companies are not licensed builders and must subcontract reconstruction to a third party, adding cost and complexity. Our in-house capability means faster completion and direct accountability.
Yes, homeowners insurance covers reconstruction as part of restoring your property to its pre-loss condition after a covered water damage event. This includes drywall, flooring, cabinets, painting, trim, and other finishes that were damaged. Prime Restoration of Macomb prepares detailed Xactimate estimates — the same software your insurance adjuster uses — and coordinates directly with your carrier to ensure the full reconstruction scope is approved and covered.
Yes, many homeowners take the opportunity during reconstruction to upgrade flooring, cabinets, countertops, or other finishes. Your insurance covers the cost of replacing with like-kind-and-quality materials that match your pre-loss condition. If you choose to upgrade, you pay only the difference between what insurance covers and the upgraded material cost. Prime Restoration of Macomb helps you understand exactly what your insurance covers and provides transparent pricing for any upgrades you select.

Choose a contractor who holds a valid Michigan builder license, carries proper insurance, uses Xactimate estimating software compatible with your insurance carrier, and has experience specifically with water damage reconstruction.
