What Reconstruction Involves in Reno-Tahoe Homes
Rebuilding after river and creek flooding
Homes and buildings that take on flood water from the Truckee and Carson River systems often need drywall, insulation, flooring and cabinets replaced up to the water line. Rebuilding starts only after readings confirm the framing is dry.
Roofs and ceilings after snow load
Heavy roof snow and ice dams can soak insulation, ceilings and wall cavities. We replace insulation, drywall and paint after drying, and coordinate roofing repairs, including ice and water shield where local rules call for it.
Permits and engineered plans in snow country
In Truckee, engineered plans are required for structures, and the town has used an expedited permit process for storm-damaged buildings. Mountain jurisdictions have their own snow load and permit rules, and we plan the schedule around them.
How We Handle Reconstruction in Reno-Tahoe
- 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 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 (775) 239-3690 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
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.
