When disaster strikes, the impact on your home or business can be overwhelming. Fire, water, storms, and mold can cause significant structural damage, leaving your property in disrepair. That’s where SERVPRO® comes in. While many know us for our industry-leading mitigation and restoration services, we also offer full-service reconstruction to bring your property back to its preloss condition. Our comprehensive reconstruction services ensure a seamless transition from cleanup to rebuild, so you can get back to normal as quickly as possible.
Why Choose SERVPRO Team Cox for Reconstruction?

This means you don’t have to coordinate between multiple contractors or worry about delays. We handle everything from initial damage assessment to the final touches of reconstruction, ensuring quality workmanship and efficiency throughout the process.
Our reconstruction services include:

- Code compliance and permitting assistance
By offering a full suite of services, we minimize stress and disruption while maintaining the highest standards of craftsmanship and safety.
The Reconstruction Process: Step by Step
Step 1: Damage Assessment and Planning
The first step in any reconstruction project is assessing the extent of the damage. Our experienced project managers conduct a thorough inspection to determine what needs to be repaired or replaced. We work closely with insurance adjusters and property owners to develop a clear and actionable reconstruction plan.
Step 2: Demolition and Debris Removal
Before rebuilding can begin, damaged materials must be removed. Our team carefully demolishes compromised areas while preserving as much of the original structure as possible. We ensure that debris is safely removed and disposed of in compliance with local regulations.
Step 3: Structural Repairs and Framing
Once the site is cleared, we begin the rebuilding process. Structural elements such as walls, floors, and ceilings are reconstructed to restore the integrity of the building. We use high-quality materials and follow industry best practices to ensure durability and safety.
Step 4: Electrical, Plumbing, and HVAC Repairs
Disasters often impact essential systems like electricity, plumbing, and heating/cooling. Our reconstruction team includes licensed professionals who repair or replace these systems to meet modern building codes and ensure optimal functionality.
Step 5: Drywall, Flooring, and Painting
With the framework in place, we move on to interior finishes. Drywall installation and painting bring your space back to life, while flooring replacements add the finishing touch. Whether it’s hardwood, tile, carpet, or vinyl, we ensure a seamless and high-quality installation.
Step 6: Exterior Restoration
For properties with exterior damage, we offer roofing, siding, and window replacement services. Whether caused by storms, fire, or water, our team ensures that your home or business is secure, weatherproof, and visually appealing.
Step 7: Final Walkthrough and Quality Assurance
Once reconstruction is complete, we conduct a final walkthrough with the property owner to ensure satisfaction. Our team addresses any last-minute touch-ups and ensures that every detail meets SERVPRO Team Cox’s high standards of excellence.

The Top Home Renovation Resolutions for 2025
12/23/2024 (Permalink)
Every homeowner has unique goals for their property, but certain renovation projects stand out as popular resolutions year after year. Here are some common renovation goals and how they can transform your home:
- Refreshing Outdated Kitchens
The kitchen is often the heart of the home, but an outdated design or lack of functionality can make it less enjoyable to use. Homeowners frequently resolve to:
- Upgrade countertops to durable, stylish options like quartz or granite.
- Install energy-efficient appliances to save on utility bills.
- Reconfigure layouts to create open-concept spaces that encourage interaction.
- Modernizing Bathrooms
A luxurious bathroom can feel like a spa retreat in your own home. Renovating your bathroom might include:
- Replacing old fixtures with sleek, modern designs.
- Adding a walk-in shower or soaking tub for ultimate relaxation.
- Improving lighting to create a bright and inviting atmosphere.
- Expanding Living Spaces
For growing families or homeowners who entertain often, more space is a top priority. Consider these solutions:
- Building home additions, such as extra bedrooms or a sunroom.
- Finishing basements to create functional spaces like home offices, gyms, or media rooms.
- Adding outdoor living areas, such as decks or patios, for year-round enjoyment.
- Addressing Wear and Tear
Over time, all homes experience wear and tear that requires attention. Common resolutions include:
- Replacing old roofs, siding, or windows to improve energy efficiency and curb appeal.
- Repairing water or storm damage that may have gone unnoticed.
- Repainting interiors or exteriors for a fresh look.
Why Renovating is a Smart Investment
Renovations do more than make your home look better—they can also provide significant benefits, such as:
- Increased Property Value
Strategic renovations can boost your home’s resale value. Updated kitchens, modern bathrooms, and well-maintained structures are key selling points for potential buyers.
- Improved Energy Efficiency
Replacing old windows, adding insulation, or upgrading appliances can reduce energy bills and make your home more sustainable.
- Enhanced Comfort and Functionality
Renovations allow you to tailor your space to your needs, improving daily life. For example, adding storage solutions or creating multipurpose rooms can maximize your home’s usability.
- Preventative Maintenance
Addressing small issues now can prevent larger, more costly problems later. For instance, fixing a minor roof leak can save you from extensive water damage.

Restoration After Mitigation: The SERVPRO Team Cox Approach to Complete Recovery
10/24/2024 (Permalink)
At SERVPRO®, we understand that facing property damage is a stressful and overwhelming experience. Whether it’s a result of water, fire, mold, or biohazard contamination, our team is committed to guiding you through every step of the recovery process. While mitigation is a critical part of minimizing further damage, the job isn’t done until your property is fully restored. That’s where repairs and reconstruction come in—the essential final phase that brings your space back to normal, or even better.
In this post, we’ll walk you through the process of repairs after mitigation, explain why this step is crucial, and highlight how our team at SERVPRO Team Cox takes pride in delivering high-quality results that exceed your expectations.
The Difference Between Mitigation and Restoration
Before we dive into the repair process, it’s important to distinguish between mitigation and restoration. While these terms are often used interchangeably, they refer to different phases in the recovery process.
- Mitigation is the immediate response to damage. This phase focuses on preventing further damage by removing water, smoke, mold, or other contaminants. Mitigation often involves drying, cleaning, deodorizing, and sanitizing.
- Restoration and Repairs are the steps that follow mitigation. Once the initial damage is contained, repairs begin to restore the structure and aesthetics of your property. This can include anything from replacing drywall to rebuilding entire sections of your home or business.
In short, mitigation stops the problem from getting worse, and restoration brings your space back to its preloss condition. At SERVPRO Team Cox, we handle both phases, ensuring a seamless transition from damage control to complete repair.
Why Repairs After Mitigation Are Essential
Some may wonder why repairs are necessary if mitigation has already taken place. The answer lies in the lasting effects of the initial damage. While mitigation is essential for preventing further harm, it doesn’t address the structural integrity or the full aesthetic restoration of your property.
For instance:
- Water Damage: Even after water is extracted and the area is dried, water can compromise the integrity of flooring, walls, or ceilings. Wood may warp, drywall can swell, and mold can form if not properly addressed.
- Fire Damage: After soot and smoke are cleaned, the heat from the fire may have caused charring, weakened structures, or even electrical damage. Damaged areas need to be rebuilt or reinforced to ensure safety.
- Mold Remediation: Mold can often leave behind unsightly marks or require the removal of walls or floors. Once mold is mitigated, rebuilding or replacing materials is essential to restore the appearance and integrity of your space.
- Biohazard Cleanup: After contaminants are removed, damaged areas need to be thoroughly repaired to restore both safety and aesthetics.
Without comprehensive repairs, your home or business may still be compromised even if the immediate danger has been addressed. That’s why, at SERVPRO Team Cox, we don’t stop at mitigation. We’re committed to making sure your property looks and feels “Like it never even happened.”
The SERVPRO Team Cox Repair Process
Every property and damage scenario is unique, but our repair process is rooted in industry expertise and personalized care. Here’s a look at the typical steps we follow when handling repairs after mitigation:
- Initial Assessment and Planning
Once mitigation is complete, our repair specialists perform a detailed assessment of the damage that remains. We work closely with property owners to understand their priorities and goals for restoration. Whether it’s matching specific finishes or reconfiguring damaged areas to suit new needs, our team will create a plan tailored to your vision.
- Collaboration with Insurance
At SERVPRO Team Cox, we pride ourselves on being advocates for our customers. Part of that advocacy is working closely with your insurance company. We understand the complexities of claims and help facilitate a smooth process, ensuring that all necessary repairs are approved and covered. Our team communicates with adjusters, providing clear documentation and assessments to support your claim.
- Customized Reconstruction
Repairs after mitigation can range from simple fixes to full-scale reconstructions. Our reconstruction services include:
- Drywall Repair and Installation: Damaged or waterlogged drywall is removed and replaced with fresh materials. We ensure that the final product matches your existing walls for a seamless look.
- Flooring Replacement: If water or fire damage has compromised your flooring, we offer a range of options from hardwood and tile to carpeting. We’ll match your previous flooring as closely as possible or assist you in selecting new materials that suit your tastes and budget.
- Roofing and Siding: Fire, wind, or water damage can wreak havoc on your roof or exterior siding. Our team specializes in roof repairs and replacement, ensuring your home or business is structurally sound and protected from the elements.
- Painting and Finishing: Once structural repairs are completed, we focus on the finishing touches. From paint matching to trim work, we’ll restore your space to its former beauty, down to the smallest details.
- Electrical and Plumbing Repairs: Water damage, fire, and even mold can affect your electrical and plumbing systems. We coordinate with licensed professionals to ensure all systems are safe, up to code, and functioning properly.
- Post-Repair Inspection and Walkthrough
At SERVPRO Team Cox, customer satisfaction is our top priority. After repairs are complete, we conduct a thorough inspection of the property. We walk through the space with you, ensuring that every aspect of the restoration meets your expectations.
If there are any additional concerns or areas that need adjustment, we address them promptly. We don’t consider the job done until you’re fully satisfied with the results.
