If you place reconstruction work, what you need from a rebuild contractor is simple: someone who takes the scope after mitigation, executes it clean, and doesn't overreach into work that isn't theirs. That's the lane we run in. Silverheels Construction is a restoration rebuild contractor in the Houston area working with restoration firms, adjusters, and property managers on the reconstruction phase — the drywall, ceilings, flooring, trim, doors, and paint that follow a water or storm loss once the structure is dry. We document conditions with photos and price to a written scope your adjuster can work from.
The rebuild after mitigation
Every water or storm loss runs in two phases: mitigation, then reconstruction. Mitigation stops and dries the damage; reconstruction puts the property back. We are the second phase. As a restoration rebuild contractor in the Houston area, we take a property once it's dry and rebuild what the loss and the flood cut removed — the drywall, ceilings, flooring, trim, doors, and paint that turn a mitigated shell back into a finished space.
This is a rebuild after water damage, or a post-remediation rebuild, in the plainest sense: we come in after the drying equipment and the remediation crew are gone and the structure has passed dry. We don't start reconstruction on a property that hasn't dried, because rebuilding over trapped moisture just means doing it twice.
Reconstruction scope we self-perform
As a reconstruction contractor we self-perform the building trades that make up the bulk of a rebuild: flood-cut drywall replacement, texture matching, and paint; ceiling repair and replacement; flooring replacement including subfloor repair; interior and exterior doors, trim, and carpentry; and siding and exterior repair. Because it's under one roof, a mixed reconstruction scope is one accountable vendor instead of several.
What we don't self-perform is the mechanical trades — plumbing, electrical, and HVAC are a separate scope we don't take on, and we flag those line items so they go to the right specialist. Keeping our scope to the building trades is what lets us execute the reconstruction cleanly and predictably for the firms that hand us the work.
What we don't do — mitigation stays separate
It matters to be plain about the line, because the whole model depends on it. We do not do water extraction. We do not do structural drying. We do not do mold remediation. And we do not adjust or negotiate claims — Texas law prohibits a contractor from acting as a public adjuster on a property it's working on. Those are separate specialties, and we don't overreach into them.
What we do is the reconstruction that follows. If a property is still wet or hasn't been remediated, that work comes first, by the crews who specialize in it; we come after, on a dry structure, and rebuild. Being clear about that boundary is exactly why restoration firms and adjusters can hand us a rebuild scope and know it'll be executed for what it is.
Working with insurance adjusters
For an adjuster or a carrier, what a rebuild contractor needs to provide is documentation and an accurate scope, not surprises. We photograph conditions before we start and provide an itemized written estimate for the reconstruction scope — drywall repair, flooring, paint, and the rest — that an adjuster can work from. When what's behind the wall differs from the initial scope, we document it and communicate rather than absorbing it silently or padding it.
To be clear on the line again: we're the contractor doing the repair, not the adjuster. We don't negotiate the claim. What we do is price the reconstruction to what's actually there and put the property back to a finished standard, with the documentation that keeps the file clean.
Restoration subcontracting
A lot of this work comes to us as a subcontractor to restoration companies who handle the mitigation and need a reliable rebuild partner for the reconstruction. As a restoration subcontractor we take the rebuild scope, execute it to your standard, and close it clean so it passes your walk and the customer's — and we can work white-label, on your job and under your brand, so the property owner sees your company.
The arrangement is straightforward: you keep the client and the mitigation; we take the reconstruction off your plate and finish it. We're direct about what we take, so when we commit to a rebuild scope you can build your schedule around it. Reliability on the rebuild is the product.
How restoration rebuild work is priced
Reconstruction is priced to the specific scope, not a flat rate, because every loss is different — the number of rooms, how high the water got, the finishes going back in, and how much demo and haul-off the flood cut left behind. We assess the dry structure, price the reconstruction line by line, and that written estimate does double duty as documentation for the file.
What moves the number: the size of the affected area, whether subfloor and framing need attention underneath, matching existing finishes, and any after-hours work to hit a reopening or move-in date on a commercial or occupied property. We quote after walking the property, and estimates are free.
Frequently asked questions
Do you handle the rebuild after mitigation?
Yes — that's exactly our lane. Once a property is dry, we handle the reconstruction: drywall and texture, ceilings, flooring with subfloor repair, trim, doors, carpentry, siding, and paint. We come in after the drying and remediation crews and put the property back to a finished standard.
Do you do water extraction, drying, or mold remediation?
No. Water extraction, structural drying, and mold remediation are separate specialties we don't take on — that's the mitigation phase, done by the crews that specialize in it. We're the reconstruction that follows, on a dry, remediated structure. We won't start a rebuild over trapped moisture.
Do you adjust or negotiate insurance claims?
No. We're the contractor doing the repair, not the adjuster — Texas law prohibits a contractor from acting as a public adjuster on a property it's working on. What we do is document conditions with photos and provide an itemized written estimate for the reconstruction scope that your adjuster can work from.
Do you subcontract reconstruction for restoration companies?
Yes. We take the rebuild scope as a subcontractor, execute it to your standard, and close it clean so it passes your walk and the customer's — and we can work white-label under your brand. You keep the client and the mitigation; we take the reconstruction off your plate.
What reconstruction trades do you self-perform?
The building trades: flood-cut drywall and texture, ceilings, flooring and subfloor repair, trim, doors, carpentry, siding and exterior repair, and paint. Plumbing, electrical, and HVAC are a separate scope we don't take on, and we flag those line items so they go to the right specialist.
How is reconstruction priced?
To the specific scope, not a flat rate — the number of rooms, how high the water got, the finishes going back in, and the demo involved. We assess the dry structure and price it line by line, and that written estimate doubles as documentation for the file. Estimates are free.
