Complete reconstruction after water damage — drywall, flooring, cabinets, and full rebuilds managed under one roof.
From demolition to finished rebuild, one company manages 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 is different. As a Michigan-licensed restoration contractor, we manage 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 manage 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 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 team works with you to achieve the result you want. We also prepare detailed Xactimate estimates so homeowners have accurate paperwork to submit to their insurance carrier, documenting the full reconstruction scope in the format carriers expect.
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 project manager 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. You receive the completed scope documentation to submit to your insurance carrier with your claim.
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 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.
Prime Restoration is fully insured, bonded, and licensed in Michigan (Residential Builder License #262500491).

Yes, many homeowners take the opportunity during reconstruction to upgrade flooring, cabinets, countertops, or other finishes.

Prime Restoration helps you understand exactly what your insurance covers and provides transparent pricing for any upgrades you select.

Larger projects involving multiple rooms, kitchen or bathroom reconstruction, and cabinet installation can take 3 to 6 weeks. Prime Restoration provides a detailed project schedule at the start of reconstruction and keeps you updated on progress throughout.

Prime Restoration prepares professional Xactimate estimates for every project, ensuring your insurance claim is documented in the format adjusters require.

Water damage reconstruction timelines depend on the scope of damage. Minor repairs such as replacing a few sheets of drywall and repainting may take 3 to 5 days.

Homeowners insurance typically covers reconstruction to restore your property to its pre-loss condition after a covered water damage event. This includes drywall, flooring, cabinetry, painting, trim, and other materials that match what you had before the damage.

Prime Restoration prepares Xactimate estimates in the format insurance adjusters use so you have accurate paperwork to submit to your carrier.
Choose a contractor who is properly insured and bonded, uses Xactimate estimating software compatible with your insurance carrier, and has experience specifically with water damage reconstruction.
