Reconstruction in Rochester, New York
Rebuilding in the Rochester area often follows water that did not go away quickly. After the Lake Ontario high water of 2017 and 2019, state REDI projects reworked shoreline, stormwater and sewer lines in Greece, Parma, Webster and Irondequoit. We rebuild after water, fire and storm losses in Rochester, Greece, Irondequoit, Gates, Brighton, Henrietta, Pittsford, Penfield, Webster, Fairport, Spencerport, Hilton, Brockport, Batavia, Le Roy, Clarence, Lancaster and Akron.
Quick answer: 911 Restoration of Buffalo / Rochester provides 24/7 reconstruction across the Rochester area: structural repair, drywall, flooring, roofing, cabinetry and finish work after water, fire, mold or storm damage, with a typical 45-minute arrival across most of the Rochester area (Clarence, Lancaster and Akron are dispatched right away) and Direct Insurance Coordination. Call (716) 214-9730 any hour.
What Reconstruction Involves in Rochester Homes
Edgemere Drive and the Parma shoreline
The state funded the Edgemere Drive Project in Greece, covering stormwater, sanitary sewer and shoreline stabilization, and a low-pressure wastewater system in Parma after the 2017 and 2019 high water. A home rebuilt on that shore is rebuilt for the next high-water season, with raised mechanicals and moisture-tolerant materials in lower levels.
Lake Road in Webster
The west end of Lake Road in Webster is the only access to the homes and businesses there, and state REDI money pays to realign and raise it. During rebuilds on that road, we plan deliveries and crew parking around road work and any closures.
Irondequoit Bay State Marine Park
After the 2019 flooding, Irondequoit raised the boat launch, docks and parking at Irondequoit Bay State Marine Park. Bayside owners nearby can use the same thinking: set new floor and equipment heights with the water line in mind, not just the old layout.

When Damage Needs Reconstruction, and What To Do First
- Drywall, subfloor or framing removed during drying
- Fire or smoke damage to walls, ceilings or roof
- Storm damage from a fallen tree or wind
- Floors or cabinets swollen after lake or creek flooding
- Mold removed and walls that must be rebuilt
- Moisture-damaged lower levels on the shoreline
Photograph the damage, keep receipts for emergency work and do not demolish anything until your insurer has seen it. Call (716) 214-9730 and we will start with an assessment and the survey and permit steps.
What Affects the Scope and Timeline
The scope depends on how much structure, finish and building system was lost. A single room can take a couple of weeks, a full water or fire rebuild can take months, and permits or survey results can add time.
We coordinate our own crews with subcontracted trades, and we use the emergency-phase records so the rebuild matches what was removed.
On the shoreline, we plan for the next high-water period: elevation of mechanicals, drainage and materials chosen for lower levels. We discuss these options before the scope is finalized.
What We Rebuild
- Drywall, framing and insulation
- Flooring and subfloors
- Kitchens, baths and cabinetry
- Roofs, siding and windows
- Basements and lower levels
