Restoration Rebuild in New Lenox, IL

New Lenox rebuilds that start with the floor

A rebuild covers everything that has to go back after a loss: framing, insulation, drywall, floors, trim, doors, cabinets and paint. We start the scope while the drying equipment is running, measuring the rooms and noting what has to be matched. Each line is priced in the format insurance carriers use, and you get copies of the estimate, the photos and the readings. If a different company did the drying, we rebuild from there.

We work in New Lenox every week, coming in on I-80, Route 30, Cedar Road and Laraway Road, and the Old Plank Road Trail runs right through town. If the water heater let go in your New Lenox basement, the floor is the first thing to replace and the last thing to rush. A slab that looks dry can still hold moisture, so we test it before new vinyl plank, laminate or tile goes down. A floor laid over a damp slab can cup or lift, so the test always comes before the install.

Floors and walls in a New Lenox rebuild

Slab moisture testing

We test the slab before new flooring goes down, so the floor is not laid over trapped moisture.

Flooring chosen for the space

Vinyl plank, laminate, carpet or tile goes back, and we explain which options hold up on a slab.

Base, shoe and transitions

Trim at the floor and transitions to the next room are part of the flooring line.

Drywall to the cut line

New board fills the flood cut and is finished so the joint does not show.

Insulation in exterior walls

Wet insulation is replaced before the walls close.

Doors and casing

Swollen doors and casing are replaced and painted to match.

How a New Lenox rebuild runs start to finish

First comes a free estimate at the house, written out and given to you before any rebuild work. Where your flooring choice changes the price, the estimate shows it, and any change after that is priced in writing and approved by you before we do it. If the carrier's scope does not include something the house needs, we send a supplement and copy you. We book the work around the days we said and walk the finished space with you.

FAQ

Restoration Rebuild in New Lenox: questions

Can I choose my own contractor for the rebuild?

You can usually choose your own contractor, even if your carrier suggests one. The deductible is yours either way, and we write our estimate in the format carriers use.

Does a New Lenox rebuild need a permit?

Flooring and drywall alone may not, but reframing, electrical or plumbing work can. We check with the Village of New Lenox and pull permits where the work requires them.

Do you rebuild near New Lenox?

Yes. Mokena, Frankfort, Lockport and Homer Glen are on our list.

When can new flooring go in?

It goes in after the slab or subfloor tests dry and the walls are finished. Flooring comes near the end so the drywall work does not damage it, and we give you the days before we start.

What if my flooring is discontinued?

We look for the closest match, and if the floor runs into other rooms, we explain the options, including where a transition could go. We cannot promise what the carrier will pay for, but we write it up clearly. Call or text (815) 585-1750 with a photo of the floor.
