A Clear Path From Kitchen Damage to Kitchen Restoration

Property damage is stressful enough. The restoration process should not create more confusion.

Our process is designed to keep homeowners informed from the first inspection through the final walkthrough.

  1. Initial Consultation

    Tell us what you noticed, when it happened, and whether the issue is currently active. We also confirm basic information such as ownership, property location, mortgage status, and current kitchen condition.

  2. Kitchen Inspection

    Our team visits the property and evaluates accessible areas of concern. We document visible damage and determine whether additional mitigation, leak detection, plumbing, mold, engineering, or specialty evaluation may be needed.

  3. Project Path

    We help identify the appropriate path for your kitchen and your situation.

  4. Damage Stabilization

    When necessary, the source is addressed and affected areas are dried, cleaned, removed, or stabilized before reconstruction.

  5. Scope and Selections

    The approved construction scope is reviewed. Homeowners then choose from available materials and finishes. Any optional upgrades are identified separately.

  6. Reconstruction

    Our team completes the kitchen work according to the final agreement, approved scope, material selections, and construction schedule.

  7. Final Walkthrough

    We review the completed work with the homeowner, identify any remaining approved completion items, and close out the construction project.

The Four Project Paths

Path A: Potential Program-Funded Restoration

The damage may relate to an event that should be documented and presented to a county program for review.

Path B: Self-Pay Restoration

The homeowner chooses to pay directly for the required repairs.

Path C: Kitchen Remodeling

The homeowner wants a planned renovation that is unrelated to qualifying property damage.

Path D: Restoration With Upgrades

The qualifying or required restoration is combined with separately priced homeowner upgrades.
