Quality 1st Restoration home

Remodeling After Restoration in Henderson, NV

Our remodeling comes with a restoration job. After a leak or fire, the walls and floors are open anyway, so you can put back what was there or upgrade while it's easy. When the loss is covered, insurance pays for like-for-like. You pay the difference for anything better, and we keep the two on separate lines.

In Henderson, that might mean a new floor through the whole downstairs instead of patching a discontinued plank, a tile shower where a leaking surround used to be, or kitchen cabinets that finally match. We're not the company for a from-scratch kitchen remodel with nothing wrong behind the walls.

Thinking about changing things while it's all open?

Here's what people ask once they realize the room is going to be rebuilt no matter what.

Is this a good time to change things?

Often it's the best time you'll get. The drywall is already open, the old floor is already gone, and you're living around a construction zone either way. Picking a different floor or moving a vanity usually costs less now than tearing out new work later.

Will insurance pay for the upgrade?

Usually not. A covered claim pays to put the damaged area back the way it was, with materials of the same kind and quality. If you want something nicer or different, you pay the difference. Your carrier decides what the claim covers. Our job is to write the insurance repair and your upgrades separately, so nobody has to guess.

How do you keep the two budgets separate?

The estimate for the insurance work is written first, as if you were putting everything back exactly as it was. Your upgrades get priced as a separate list. You see both numbers before anything is ordered, and the invoice keeps them apart.

Does upgrading slow the job down?

It can. New selections take time to pick and sometimes to order. A layout change can also mean a plumber or electrician has to come in. Like-for-like is almost always faster. If the schedule matters more to you, we'll say which changes would hold things up.

Can I remodel a room that wasn't damaged while you're here?

Sometimes, and it's worth asking at the estimate. It's priced as your own work, separate from the claim. Keep in mind our work is built around restoration jobs. If you're planning a from-scratch kitchen remodel with no damage behind it, a general remodeling contractor is probably the better call.

How much does it cost? Will insurance pay?

For early planning on a water loss, the rebuild often runs about twice what the dry-out cost. A $3,000 dry-out usually means something near $6,000 in repairs. What you actually pay depends on which materials came out and what goes back in.

On a remodel during restoration, two things set your out-of-pocket cost: how far your picks are from what was there, and whether you're changing the layout. A nicer floor in the same rooms adds the price difference. Moving plumbing, changing cabinet sizes or opening a wall adds trades and time.

Insurance or self-pay, you decide

Your carrier decides coverage. We write the rebuild as its own set of lines, next to the mitigation, so the adjuster can see what was removed and what goes back.

Paying yourself? Ask about the self-pay discount. The estimate is free, and you see the price before we start.

How we handle upgrades on a restoration job

  1. 1

    Scope the like-for-like repair

    First we write the estimate to put your house back the way it was. That's the part your carrier reviews.

  2. 2

    Talk through what you'd change

    Floors, paint colors, a vanity, cabinet fronts, a tile shower instead of a surround. We tell you what's simple while things are open and what's a bigger project.

  3. 3

    Price the difference

    Your upgrades get their own line items. You see what insurance is covering, what you're adding, and the total.

  4. 4

    Order and schedule

    Materials get ordered once you sign off. Anything with a long lead time goes on the order first, so it doesn't hold the rest of the job.

  5. 5

    Build it and walk it

    The rebuild runs in the normal order: framing, drywall, paint, cabinets, flooring, trim. You walk it with us at the end.

Baseboard and trim work during a Henderson restoration remodel

Insurance pays to put it back. Beyond that is on you.

A covered claim pays to restore the room to its pre-loss condition. A different floor or a new vanity is an add-on you control, and we scope it on its own.

Nobody should wonder later which dollars came from the claim and which came from you.

What's included

Here's what we'll take on during a restoration job, and what we'd send elsewhere.

What we do

  • The like-for-like repair estimate for your claim
  • A separate, itemized price for your upgrades
  • Flooring, paint, trim and drywall changes
  • Cabinets and vanities replaced with new selections
  • Tile showers and bathroom finishes after a leak
  • One schedule for the repair and the upgrades together

What we don't do

  • From-scratch remodels with no damage behind them. A general remodeling contractor is a better fit.
  • Moving or adding plumbing, electrical or gas lines. Those go to licensed trades.
  • Design services. You pick the finishes; we build them.
  • Telling your carrier to pay for upgrades. That's not how the claim works, and we won't pretend it is.

Remodeling questions

What is restoration remodeling?

It's remodeling that happens as part of a restoration job. After water, fire or mold damage, some of the house is already opened up. Instead of putting back exactly what was there, you choose to upgrade some of it and pay the difference.

How much does remodeling after water damage cost?

The like-for-like rebuild on a water loss often runs about twice the dry-out, and your insurance may pay that part. The remodeling cost is whatever the upgrades add on top. You get both numbers in writing before we start.

Can I use my insurance money toward a remodel?

The claim pays for putting back what was damaged. Often that amount can go toward a nicer version, with you paying the rest. Ask your carrier how they handle it, because policies differ.

Do you do kitchen and bathroom remodeling?

When it's tied to a restoration job, yes: new cabinets, flooring or a different shower after a leak or fire. For a full remodel with no damage behind it, we're probably not the right fit.

Clear work, clean documentation, no mystery in the middle.

For Remodeling, you should be able to see what we found and what we did about it. That's what the paperwork is for.

When we leave, you should have a plain explanation of the work and paperwork that still makes sense weeks later if an adjuster asks.

Certified standards

IICRC-certified technicians work to the published industry standards instead of judging the job by how it looks.

Claim-ready documentation

Photos and scope notes are collected as the work moves, so you and your adjuster can see what changed and why.

Built to match

Texture, paint and trim are matched to the rest of the room so the repair doesn't read as a patch.

One accountable plan

The emergency work and the rebuild stay under one plan, so nothing falls into the gap between two contractors.

Local loss experience

We rebuild across Henderson and the Las Vegas Valley, mostly slab-on-grade stucco homes, condos and townhomes.

What we tell you before work expands

What needs action now

What needs attention today and what can wait. If part of it belongs to a plumber or roofer, we say so.

What should stay closed

We don't open finished walls or ceilings until the readings and the access tell us it's worth it.

What happens next

Stabilize first. Repair decisions come after the building is under control.
