Repairs & Reconstruction in Keller, TX

A restoration contractor who handles both mitigation and reconstruction, or a general contractor working after a separate mitigation company. Keeping both under one contract is usually better: the company that dried the structure knows what's behind the wall, owns the moisture documentation, and can't blame an earlier trade for what it finds. It also avoids the gap where you have a clean, dry shell and nobody scheduled to close it up.

A general contractor builds to a plan you provide and bills you. A restoration contractor scopes to an insurance loss, writes in Xactimate, works to the carrier's pricing and documentation requirements, and returns the property to pre-loss condition. Both build; only one is set up to document and submit a supplement when the adjuster's estimate misses the subfloor.

A single room of drywall, paint and flooring typically takes one to two weeks. A kitchen or bathroom with cabinetry and tile runs three to six weeks. A whole-home rebuild after a major fire commonly takes three to six months. The long lead items are usually cabinetry, custom countertops and permit inspections rather than labor.

Reconstruction in DFW typically runs $2,500 to $150,000. A single-room repair of drywall, paint and flooring is often $2,500–$8,000, a kitchen or bathroom rebuild $12,000–$50,000, and a whole-home rebuild after a major fire $60,000–$150,000 or more. On a covered claim you generally pay only your deductible plus any upgrades you choose.

Texture is matched by hand to the existing finish, which is the part most contractors get wrong on a North Texas orange-peel or knockdown wall. Paint is a different problem: even the same color code reads differently against a wall that has aged, so we normally recommend painting to a natural break, corner to corner or wall to wall, rather than spot-patching and hoping.

That's what a supplement is for. Hidden damage found once a wall is open (rotted subfloor, failed framing, outdated wiring) is documented with photographs and measurements and submitted to the carrier as a supplemental claim. This is normal on restoration work rather than a dispute. If that stalls, you can use your policy's appraisal clause or file a complaint with the Texas Department of Insurance.

Yes, and many people do. The insurance pays to restore pre-loss condition and you pay the difference for the upgrade. We price it as a clearly separated allowance so there's no confusion about which line is the carrier's and which is yours, and so the upgrade never becomes the reason a claim payment gets questioned.

Yes, through the relevant municipality: Keller, Southlake, Fort Worth and each surrounding city have their own process. Permitted work also matters at resale: unpermitted structural, electrical or plumbing work is a standard finding on an inspection report and a common reason a sale is renegotiated.

Yes. We issue a written workmanship warranty on our labor with the closing documentation, and manufacturer warranties on materials pass to you. Being locally owned matters here in a way it doesn't on paper: a warranty is only worth something if the company is still in Keller in three years to honor it.
