Most restoration companies dry your home, tear out the damage, and leave you to find a contractor. We do not. Our reconstruction team picks up exactly where mitigation ends - drywall, flooring, trim, cabinets, paint - so one team carries your home from disaster back to finished.

Call (616) 300-8900How It Works
Here Is What Happens When You Call
The hardest part of property damage is facing it on your own. You do not have to — from the first phone call, it is our job, not yours.
-
Step 01
You call, we answer
Any hour, any day, a real person picks up — not a machine and not a national call center. You describe what you are looking at, and from that moment it stops being your problem to solve on your own.
-
Step 02
We assess
Our crew works out how far it has really gone, including what you cannot see behind walls and under floors. You do not have to know what to look for, or guess how bad it is.
-
Step 03
We do the work
What comes out, what gets dried, what can be saved — those are our calls to make, and we explain each one as we go. Readings are recorded throughout, so nothing rests on you taking our word for it.
-
Step 04
You get your property back to normal
Our own team rebuilds what came out and hands the place back finished, with everything documented the way your adjuster expects it.
We Work With Your Insurance
Restoration is stressful enough without fighting through a claim alone. Our crews document everything — photos, moisture readings, and a clear scope of work — in the format adjusters expect, and we communicate with your insurance company throughout the job. You always know what is happening and what your policy covers before work begins.
