Restoration Rebuild in Hoffman Estates, IL

Hoffman Estates rebuilds, written up while the house dries

A rebuild can stall waiting on paperwork, so we start ours early. While air movers and dehumidifiers are still running, we measure the open walls, photograph the damage and write the estimate for the drywall, insulation, framing, flooring, trim, doors, cabinets and paint. ONIT Solutions does that drying work as well, and if a different company did it, we work from their readings and our own. The result is a scope ready for you and the carrier to look over when the readings say dry.

Hoffman Estates is on our regular route up I-90 and Route 59, and Higgins Road, Golf Road and Barrington Road take us through a village that reaches into both Cook and Kane counties. If water reached an exterior wall in your Hoffman Estates house, the insulation behind the flood cut has to be replaced along with the drywall, and it is a line that can get left off a first scope. We put back insulation to the depth of the wall, with any vapor retarder facing the warm side, and note it plainly on the estimate. If it was missed, we write a supplement and walk the adjuster through it.

Rebuild scope in Hoffman Estates

Measured while drying

We take measurements and photos of the open walls during drying, so the estimate reflects what was actually removed.

Exterior wall insulation

Batts behind a flood cut are replaced to the depth of the wall, with the facing toward the inside of the house.

Drywall finishing

New drywall is taped, mudded and sanded, with texture matched to the adjoining walls.

Framing repair

Bottom plates and studs that stayed wet or were damaged are replaced before the wall closes.

Floors, trim and doors

New flooring, base, casing and doors go in to match the rooms around them.

Cabinets and paint

Damaged cabinets are replaced where needed, and every rebuilt surface is primed and painted.

Our Hoffman Estates rebuild process

Your free estimate is written at the house in the line-by-line format carriers use, and we meet the adjuster there if they want. When the carrier's scope misses something, we write the supplement and explain it to you in plain terms. Hidden damage found later is priced in writing and done only after you approve it. We set the trade order, book the days, and walk every room with you at the finish.

FAQ

Restoration Rebuild in Hoffman Estates: questions

Why is insulation on my supplement?

When wet drywall is cut out of an exterior wall, the insulation behind it is usually wet too and has to be replaced. If the first scope left it out, we write a supplement that shows the line and the photos. We explain it to you, but we cannot promise the carrier will approve it.

Hoffman Estates is in two counties. Who handles permits?

The village handles building permits. Drywall and paint typically do not need one, but framing, electrical and plumbing work usually do. Where Hoffman Estates requires a permit, we pull it and schedule the inspections.

When does the rebuild actually start?

It starts after the readings show dry and you approve the estimate. Since the scope is written during drying, ordering can begin right after that, and lead times on cabinets or flooring set the rest of the schedule.

What should I do if water just came in?

Shut off the water if you can, stay away from wet outlets, and take photos before anything moves. Then call or text (815) 585-1750 any hour, and we will dispatch as fast as we can.

Do you rebuild homes near Hoffman Estates?

Yes. We also rebuild in Schaumburg, Palatine, Hanover Park and Rolling Meadows, and the process is the same in each.
