Got it. We’re calling you within 5 minutes.

Keep your phone nearby. If water is still spreading, shut off the main valve now, it’s usually in the basement or crawl space, on the street-facing wall.

Good to know

Before reconstruction starts

1

Keep a finish sample

Set aside a spare tile, a length of trim, a cabinet door. A physical sample makes matching the existing finish far easier.

2

Wait on the scope

Demolition should stop at a documented line. Removing more than the approved scope can push part of the reconstruction outside the claim.

3

Keep the drying records

If another company dried your home, ask them for the moisture readings, photos, and drying report. The reconstruction scope and your adjuster both rely on them.

Not sure where your reconstruction stands? Call (385) 354-5813 and we will walk through the scope with you.

What’s included

From bare studs to move-back-in

  • Non-structural framing, sheathing, and subfloor replaced; load-bearing repairs go to a licensed partner
  • Insulation, drywall, texture, and paint blended into the walls that were untouched
  • Flooring, cabinets, countertops, and trim matched to the original wherever possible
  • Licensed subcontractors for the electrical, plumbing, and HVAC the reconstruction touches
  • Permits pulled and inspections scheduled by us, as the licensed contractor
  • A written Xactimate scope agreed with your adjuster before the first subcontractor arrives
Surface by surface

Why matching finishes is a craft

Surface
Why it's hard to match
Our approach
Flooring
Discontinued tile or plank runs and dye-lot variation between batches
Source the same or nearest match, blend transition points where an exact match isn't possible
Drywall & paint
Texture and sheen have to blend into untouched walls
Match texture first, then feather and blend paint sheen at the seams
Cabinets & millwork
Wood grain, stain, and hardware finish age differently over time
Match or refinish to the nearest original, shown to you before ordering
Trim & fixtures
Profiles and finishes go out of production
Source equivalent profiles and finishes, or replace full runs where a partial match would show
Picking up from another company

Cleanup done by someone else? We can still rebuild.

Plenty of water and fire cleanup companies stop once the house is dry and the damaged materials are out. If that is where you are, with open walls and a claim still in progress, we take it from there. Send us the drying report, moisture readings, and photos. We walk the house, write the reconstruction scope in Xactimate, and work it through with your adjuster.

The scope is the claim.
Reconstruction is usually the biggest number on a claim, so adjusters read it line by line. We photograph and measure every room before work starts and write the scope in Xactimate, the format most adjusters already use, so approval doesn’t stall on missing detail.
What reconstruction covers

What reconstruction usually includes

Most reconstruction jobs come down to a handful of trades run in the right order, from Salt Lake City basements to Park City mountain homes.

Framing & subfloor

Non-load-bearing studs, sheathing, and subfloor replaced. Load-bearing repairs go to a licensed partner.

Drywall & paint

Hung, taped, textured, and painted to blend into the walls that were untouched.

Flooring

Tile, hardwood, and carpet matched where possible, replaced wall to wall where not.

Cabinets & millwork

Cabinets, counters, trim, and doors rebuilt or replaced to match.

Mechanical & electrical

Licensed subs for the wiring, plumbing, and HVAC the reconstruction touches.

Permits & inspections

We pull the permits and schedule the inspections the reconstruction needs, as the licensed contractor.

One event, three losses

Most reconstruction starts as another loss

Reconstruction is rarely the first call. It follows water, fire, or storm damage. We can run the cleanup and the reconstruction under one scope and one schedule, or pick up the reconstruction after someone else’s cleanup.

Loss 1

Water losses

A burst pipe or a flooded basement gets dried, opened up, and rebuilt on one schedule.

Water damage restoration →
Loss 2

Fire & smoke

Char removal and odor sealing come first, then framing, drywall, and finishes.

Fire & smoke restoration →
Loss 3

Storm damage

Wind, hail, and fallen trees can let water into walls and ceilings. Once the opening is closed, we repair the interior: non-structural framing, drywall, and finishes.

Stage by stage

Demo to final walkthrough

Bare studs

Where the scope is set, before anything closes up.

Rough-in

Framing, wiring, and plumbing back in and inspected.

Drywall & paint

Hung, textured, and painted to match the rest.

Finished

Trim, floors, and fixtures in, ready for the walkthrough.

Why Highwater

Why owners trust us with reconstruction

One accountable company from the first walkthrough to the last coat of paint, with a claim file your adjuster can actually work from.

Licensed contractor

We're a licensed contractor: we pull the permits and keep our own subs on schedule.

Mitigation to build-back

Mitigation, contents, and reconstruction under one roof, one schedule, one point of contact.

Scope agreed up front

A written Xactimate scope settled with your adjuster before the first sub arrives.

Finishes that match

We source the same or nearest finish and show you the options before anything is ordered.

Insurance claims

We handle the reconstruction side of your claim

We write the reconstruction scope room by room, agree it in Xactimate before work starts, document every change order, and bill your insurer directly. We work with any carrier, so on a covered claim your main cost is your deductible.

How your claim goes, step by step

1

Scope the reconstruction

We measure, photograph, and write the build-back room by room.

2

Agree it with the carrier

Your adjuster reviews and approves the scope before we build.

3

Price in Xactimate

Line-item materials and labor, in the format your adjuster already uses.

4

Coordinate & bill direct

We answer the adjuster’s questions and bill your insurer for covered work.

5

You pay only your deductible

On a covered claim, that plus any upgrades you choose is your out-of-pocket.

Typically covered

Repair and replacement of the damaged structure back to its pre-loss condition, including matching finishes, plus living expenses while the home is unlivable. This is the core of a homeowner policy.

Watch the fine print

Code-upgrade costs without ordinance-or-law coverage, and losses tied to long vacancy, can be limited. We flag these early and document to protect the claim.

$0 out of pocket, beyond your deductible
On covered reconstruction, our goal is nothing from you past your deductible.
Every carrier, no network required
We work for you and with any insurer. Direct billing and Xactimate scopes on every claim.
Ask about living expenses
If you are displaced, your policy likely covers lodging and meals. We help you document ALE from day one.

Ordinance-or-law limits and depreciation holdback decide what reconstruction actually pays. Ask us to check both before demolition ends.

Homes & businesses

FAQ

Questions we hear

How long does reconstruction take after water damage?
A single room can take a few days, and a moderate reconstruction runs two to eight weeks. Load-bearing repairs and large losses go to a licensed partner. You get a written timeline once the scope is agreed with your adjuster, not a guess.
What’s the difference between mitigation and reconstruction?
Mitigation stops the damage: the water comes out, wet materials are removed, and the structure is dried. Reconstruction puts back what was removed, from non-structural framing and drywall to floors, cabinets, and paint. We can do both, or just the reconstruction.
Can you rebuild if another company did the cleanup?
Yes. Send us their drying report, moisture readings, and photos. We walk the house, write the reconstruction scope in Xactimate, and work with your adjuster from there.
Does homeowners insurance pay for reconstruction?
On a covered loss, your policy typically pays to repair the damaged structure back to its pre-loss condition, including matching finishes, minus your deductible. Many policies hold back part of the payment, called depreciation, until the reconstruction is finished. We document the completed work so you can recover it.
Do you pull the permits?
Yes. We're a licensed contractor: we pull the permits, schedule the inspections, and manage our licensed subcontractors.
Will the finishes match what I had before?
We source the same or nearest finish and show you the options before anything is ordered. See our finish-matching approach above.
What if the insurance payout doesn’t cover the full reconstruction?
We flag ordinance-or-law limits and depreciation holdback early, and financing options are available to cover the gap.
Can I upgrade finishes beyond what the policy pays for?
Yes. We show you the options and the cost difference before anything is ordered, so you decide with full information.
