Reconstruction is the rebuilding stage after mitigation. It may include drywall, ceilings, insulation, flooring, cabinets, trim, texture, primer, paint, and transitions to retained materials.
What happens after mitigation is complete?
Open areas are reviewed, the repair boundary is defined, materials and finishes are identified, and a written reconstruction scope is prepared. Any required access, inspection, or specialist work should be complete before surfaces are closed.
What can reconstruction include?
- Framing or backing within the agreed repair scope
- Insulation where applicable
- Drywall replacement and finishing
- Ceiling repair and texture
- Flooring, baseboards, trim, cabinets, and paint
- Protection and final work-area cleanup
Why can finish areas extend beyond removed material?
Drywall feathering, texture transitions, paint sheen, flooring runs, cabinet components, and retained materials can require a broader finish area than the original opening.
What should be settled before work begins?
Confirm the repair boundary, finish expectations, material availability, paint responsibility, access, contents, exclusions, and how hidden conditions will be handled. See what affects reconstruction cost.
