What Reconstruction Involves in Minneapolis Homes
Hail and wind to the roof and siding
Hail on August 5, 2019 damaged roofs and siding across the western, northwestern, northern and northeastern Twin Cities suburbs, according to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. Damaged shingles, flashing and siding let water into sheathing and insulation, so repairs often reach past the visible dents.
Finished basements after water
A basement that took in snowmelt, a sump pump overflow or a sewer backup usually needs more than drying. Wet drywall, insulation, trim and flooring are cut out and replaced once the framing reads dry, and rebuilding in the right order keeps moisture from being sealed in.
Freeze damage inside the walls
Deep cold can split supply lines in exterior walls, attics and unheated spaces. Once the water is stopped and the structure dried, the opened walls, ceilings and cabinets have to be rebuilt to match the rest of the home.
How We Handle Reconstruction in Minneapolis
- We start from the documented scope written during cleanup, so the rebuild matches what was removed.

- 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 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 (612) 488-2293 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.

Insurance and Documentation for Reconstruction
We provide Direct Insurance Coordination on reconstruction, working from the same documentation your adjuster approved during cleanup.
