Reconstruction in Edmonton, Alberta
Rebuilding around Edmonton has to work around frost, heating season and the winter that follows a summer loss.

Quick answer: 911 Restoration of Edmonton provides reconstruction across Edmonton and the capital region: drywall, flooring, framing, insulation, cabinetry and paint after water, fire or storm damage, with a typical 45-minute arrival for the emergency work and Direct Insurance Coordination. Call (587) 315-1498 to start your rebuild.
What Reconstruction Involves in Edmonton Homes
Cold-weather scheduling
Frost limits exterior work, and paint, adhesives and concrete need heat to cure. We sequence interior work first, keep the building heated, and plan roof and exterior repairs for workable weather.
Asbestos in renovation and repair
Alberta's OHS rules require workers to have asbestos training from a government-approved agency before handling it in a restricted area, and employers must give Alberta OHS 72 hours' notice before work that may release asbestos fibres. We test suspect materials before demolition and use qualified abatement where needed.
Moisture hidden in the structure
Finished basements and exterior walls can hold moisture after sewer backups, spring melt and freeze-thaw leaks. We confirm dry readings before closing walls, which protects new drywall, insulation and flooring from mould and warping.
How We Handle Reconstruction in Edmonton
- We start from the documented scope written during cleanup, so the rebuild matches what was removed.
- We confirm with you and your adjuster which items are being replaced and which finishes you want.
- We pull permits where required and order materials.
- We rebuild framing, drywall, insulation, flooring, cabinets, and trim, then paint and finish.
- We walk the job with you, fix punch-list items, and close out permits and documentation.

When You Need Reconstruction, and What To Do First
- Drywall, insulation, or flooring was removed during water or mould cleanup
- Fire damaged framing, roofing, or kitchens
- A finished basement was gutted after a sewer backup or flood
- Cabinets or trim swelled and separated after a leak
- Ceilings were opened to dry or to trace a roof leak
- Storm damage opened walls, roofs, or windows
Keep copies of the cleanup scope, photos, and moisture readings, since they define what needs to be rebuilt. Talk to your adjuster about finishes and upgrades before work starts, and call (587) 315-1498 to schedule the rebuild with the same team that did the cleanup.
What Affects the Scope and Timeline
The scope follows the loss. A basement after a water loss may need only drywall, insulation, trim, and flooring. A fire loss may need framing, roofing, electrical work by licensed trades, kitchens, and full finishes. We write the reconstruction scope from the documented demolition so nothing is missed.
Small rebuilds can take one to two weeks. Larger fire and structural repairs take longer, depending on permits, inspections, and material lead times. We give you a schedule and update it as the work moves forward.
Where a basement has flooded more than once, we can discuss materials that tolerate water better, such as moisture-resistant board and flooring at the bottom of the walls, so that the next storm costs less. Those choices are yours to make with your adjuster, since upgrades beyond like-kind replacement are usually the owner's cost.

- Flooring, including hardwood, tile, carpet, and luxury vinyl
- Kitchens and bathroom cabinets
- Trim, doors, and baseboards

Insurance and Documentation for Reconstruction
We provide Direct Insurance Coordination on reconstruction, working from the same documentation your adjuster approved during cleanup. Upgrades beyond like-kind replacement are usually the owner's cost, and coverage limits depend on your policy, so confirm them with your carrier before finishes are ordered.
