From Mitigation to Move-In — One Team

After water extraction, mold removal, soot cleanup, or storm debris clearing, your home is safe but far from whole. Walls are open to the studs. Flooring is gone. Cabinets have been ripped out. The structure is dry and decontaminated, but you cannot live in it. That gap between “damage stopped” and “home restored” is reconstruction.

TruRenu handles both mitigation and reconstruction under one scope of work. The same team that extracted your water or cleaned your soot also rebuilds your drywall, installs your flooring, hangs your cabinets, and paints your walls. No handoff to a separate general contractor. No communication gaps between companies. No delays waiting for a new crew to learn your project. One team, one insurance file, one point of contact from the day damage occurs through the day you move back in.

What Our Reconstruction Covers

Every reconstruction project is different. The scope depends on what was damaged and what was demolished during mitigation. Here is what TruRenu handles.

Structural Framing & Repairs

Load-bearing walls, floor joists, roof trusses, and structural elements that were compromised by fire, water, or demolition during mitigation. All structural work is engineered, permitted, and inspected.

Drywall & Interior Finishing

Hanging, taping, mudding, texturing, and finishing drywall throughout affected areas. We match existing wall textures in undamaged rooms so the repair is invisible.

Flooring Installation

Hardwood, tile, carpet, LVP, and laminate. Matched to existing flooring in undamaged areas or upgraded per your insurance scope and preferences.

Cabinetry & Countertops

Kitchen and bathroom cabinets, vanities, countertops, and hardware. Custom or stock options matched to your home’s style and your insurance-approved scope.

Painting & Trim

Interior and exterior painting, baseboards, crown molding, door casings, and finish carpentry throughout reconstructed areas. Color-matched to existing rooms.

Roofing, Siding & Exterior

Roof repair or replacement, siding, gutters, fascia, soffit, windows, and exterior trim damaged by storms or fire. All exterior work meets Georgia building code requirements.

Our Reconstruction Process

A structured, transparent process from the day mitigation ends to the day you move back in.

Scope Documentation & Estimate

We assess what was removed during mitigation, document the full scope of rebuild needed, and produce a detailed estimate using Xactimate — the same estimating software your insurance adjuster uses. This alignment reduces disputes and speeds approval.

Insurance Coordination & Approval

We submit the reconstruction scope to your insurance carrier, coordinate with your adjuster on any supplements, and get written approval before work begins. You should not have to negotiate your own rebuild.

Permits & Scheduling

We pull all required building permits, schedule trade crews, and order materials. You receive a projected timeline with milestones so you know what to expect each week.

Structural & Rough-In Work

Framing, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC rough-in are completed and inspected before walls are closed. This is the foundation of a quality rebuild — what you cannot see matters as much as what you can.

Finishing & Installation

Drywall, flooring, cabinetry, paint, trim, fixtures, and hardware are installed. We match existing finishes in undamaged areas so the reconstructed sections blend seamlessly with the rest of your home.

Final Inspection & Walkthrough

We schedule required municipal inspections, then walk through the completed work with you room by room. Nothing is considered done until you confirm it meets your expectations and you are ready to move back in.

When Reconstruction Is Required After Damage

Not every restoration project requires reconstruction. Here is when it does.

After Water Damage

When water-soaked drywall, insulation, flooring, or cabinetry had to be removed during mitigation, those materials need to be replaced. The structure is dry and safe, but your home has holes in the walls and bare subfloor.

Water Damage Restoration →

After Fire Damage

Fire often destroys structural framing, roofing, and entire rooms. After soot cleanup and smoke odor treatment, the burned and demolished sections need to be rebuilt from the studs out.

Fire Damage Restoration →

After Mold Remediation

Mold remediation frequently requires removing drywall, insulation, and flooring to access contaminated framing. Once the mold is eliminated and the structure is clean, those materials need to be replaced.

Mold Remediation →

After Storm Damage

Severe storms can destroy roofing, siding, windows, and interior finishes. After emergency tarping and drying, the damaged exterior and interior components need full replacement.

Wind & Storm Damage →

How Insurance Covers Reconstruction

Most homeowner’s insurance policies that cover the initial damage event also cover the reconstruction needed to restore the home. If your policy paid for mitigation — water extraction, mold removal, fire cleanup — it will typically pay for the rebuild of materials that were damaged or removed during that process.

How TruRenu helps: We produce Xactimate estimates that match the format your adjuster uses. We document every line item, submit supplements when the scope expands beyond the original estimate, and coordinate payment draws so the project stays funded throughout construction. You should not have to manage this process yourself while your family is displaced.

Common coverage questions: Does insurance cover upgrades? Generally only to current building code requirements. Does insurance cover matching undamaged areas? That depends on your policy’s matching clause — some policies require it, others do not. Will you have to pay out of pocket? Typically only your deductible, unless the damage exceeds your policy limits or you choose upgrades beyond the approved scope.

Reconstruction FAQs

Restoration (mitigation) stops the damage and removes contaminated or destroyed materials — water extraction, mold removal, soot cleanup, structural drying. Reconstruction rebuilds what was removed or destroyed — drywall, flooring, cabinetry, roofing, paint, and structural framing. TruRenu handles both under one scope of work so you do not need to hire a separate general contractor.

Timeline depends on scope. A single room with drywall and flooring replacement may take 1 to 2 weeks. A multi-room rebuild after significant water or mold damage typically takes 3 to 6 weeks. A full-home rebuild after a major fire can take 2 to 4 months. TruRenu provides a projected timeline before work begins and updates you weekly on progress.

Not if you use TruRenu. We handle both mitigation and reconstruction with our own licensed team. This eliminates the gap between companies, reduces your total timeline, simplifies insurance coordination, and gives you a single point of contact from the day damage occurs through the day you move back in.

If your homeowner’s insurance policy covered the initial damage event and mitigation, it will typically cover reconstruction of the affected areas to pre-loss condition. TruRenu produces estimates in the same Xactimate format your adjuster uses and coordinates directly with your insurance carrier throughout the rebuild process.

In many cases, yes. Your insurance covers restoration to pre-loss condition, but you can often upgrade materials — better flooring, updated cabinets, improved fixtures — by paying the difference between the insurance-approved scope and the upgrade cost. TruRenu can help you understand what upgrades are possible within your claim.
