Reconstruction

Every major restoration project eventually reaches the same point: the damaged material is gone, the structure is dry, and now it has to be rebuilt. Viking Restoration’s reconstruction team handles that entire second half of the job — framing, drywall, flooring, paint, and finishes — for homeowners throughout Metro Atlanta recovering from water, storm, or sewage damage, so you are not stuck hiring a separate general contractor once mitigation ends.

What Is Reconstruction, and Why One Company Should Handle It

Reconstruction is the rebuilding phase that follows mitigation: replacing what had to be removed and returning the space to its pre-loss condition or better. That can be as small as a single section of drywall and flooring after a burst pipe, or as extensive as rebuilding multiple rooms after a major storm, a sewage backup, or a serious water damage loss.

Handing mitigation and reconstruction to separate companies creates gaps — a new contractor has to re-inspect everything, re-negotiate scope with your insurance adjuster, and take on liability for work they did not start. Keeping one company on the project from the first day of demolition through the final walkthrough keeps the scope, the documentation, and the timeline consistent.

Our Reconstruction Process

Step 1: Damage Assessment and Scope of Work

We document exactly what needs to be rebuilt and put together a detailed scope, whether the project follows our own mitigation work or another company’s.

Step 2: Insurance Estimate and Approval

We work directly with your insurance adjuster to align the rebuild scope and pricing, so approval does not stall the project.

Step 3: Demolition and Debris Removal

Any remaining damaged material is removed and the site is prepared for rebuilding.

Step 4: Framing, Electrical, and Plumbing Rough-In

Structural framing and any necessary electrical or plumbing work are completed and inspected before walls close back up.

Step 5: Drywall, Flooring, and Finishes

Drywall, flooring, trim, paint, and fixtures are installed to match your home’s original condition — or to your updated specifications.

Step 6: Final Walkthrough

We walk the completed space with you to confirm every item on the scope is finished before closing out the project.
