What Reconstruction Involves in Troy Homes
Rebuilding finished basements after backups
Sewer backups and sump pump failures can soak carpet, drywall, baseboards and insulation in a finished basement. Rebuilding starts only after moisture readings confirm the framing and slab are dry and the space has been cleaned and disinfected.
Ceilings and walls after deep-freeze pipe bursts
The January 2019 arctic outbreak set numerous record lows across Southeast Michigan, the kind of cold that splits supply lines in exterior walls and unheated spaces. We replace wet insulation, drywall and paint once the plumber has repaired the line and the cavity is dry.
Permits, licensing and asbestos rules
Michigan's LARA licenses Residential Builders and Maintenance & Alteration Contractors, so ask for the license that covers your scope. EGLE's asbestos program also calls for a notice before renovation or demolition, so we flag suspect materials before walls come down.

When You Need Reconstruction, and What To Do First
- Drywall, insulation, or flooring was removed during water or mold 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 (248) 432-3960 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.
What We Rebuild
- Drywall, plaster repairs, and insulation
- Flooring, including hardwood, tile, carpet, and luxury vinyl
- Kitchens and bathroom cabinets
- Trim, doors, and baseboards
- Framing and subfloors
- Painting and finishes
- Finished basements
- Roof and exterior repairs after storms
