Every rebuild starts with a dry house. We extract the standing water, set up dehumidifiers and air movers, and take moisture readings every day until the floors and framing test dry.

Rebuild help
Why one team from cleanup to rebuild saves you time
Bringing in a separate builder once the drying wraps up tends to stretch things out. They need their own look, their own number, and their own sign-off from the adjuster, and the house waits through all of it.
We skip the handoff entirely. The moisture logs, the adjuster-approved photos, and the measurements from demolition are already in our hands.
Older homes in the Old Southwest and Midtown neighborhoods often have plaster, oak floors, and original trim. Newer homes in the valley are wood-frame stucco on a slab. If a house was built before 1978, federal rules require certified renovators for any lead paint.
From Sparks to Damonte Ranch and Spanish Springs, homeowners and businesses across Washoe County reach out to us in every season.

What to do before the rebuild starts
A good rebuild starts before the first sheet of drywall goes up. These steps help the repairs go right the first time and keep your claim on track.

Call (775) 899-8753What to do
Make sure everything is dry
Ask for moisture readings before the walls are closed. Framing and subfloor sealed in while wet can grow mold behind new drywall.
Get a line-by-line estimate
A detailed estimate shows exactly what’s being replaced, so you and your adjuster can compare it with the approved claim.
Save samples and photos
Keep a piece of the flooring, a cabinet door, or a photo of the trim. It makes matching what was there much easier.
Ask about permits
Reno, Sparks, and unincorporated Washoe County each run their own building permit office, so your address decides where the permit comes from.
Decide on upgrades early
If you want something better than what you had, decide before work starts. Insurance usually pays to replace what was there, and you pay the difference.
What not to do
Don’t close up wet walls
Mold can grow behind the new drywall, and you may end up tearing it out again.
Don’t hire whoever knocks first
In Nevada, any job of $1,000 or more must be done by a contractor licensed with the State Contractors Board. The same applies to any job needing a permit. Check the license online before you sign.
Don’t pay for the whole job up front
Pay in stages as the work is completed. Using a licensed contractor also keeps you eligible for the state’s Residential Recovery Fund if something goes wrong.
Don’t start before the scope is approved
Work that isn’t in the approved claim may not be paid. Get the scope in writing first.
Don’t ignore lead paint in an older home
Plenty of the housing near downtown and in the Old Southwest is older than 1978. Before anyone cuts or sands painted trim, ask to see their lead-safe RRP certification.
What we rebuild
What we rebuild after water, fire, and storm damage
Most rebuilds come down to the same handful of jobs. Here’s what each one involves.
Drywall and Ceilings
We install and finish new drywall and blend the texture into the existing wall. Ceilings stained by a frozen attic line are torn out and rebuilt flat.
Floors
Oak, tile, vinyl plank, and carpet. In older Reno homes, we look for oak of the same width and refinish the room so new boards blend in.
Kitchens and Cabinets
Kitchen cabinets warped by a frozen supply line or a dishwasher leak, or scorched by a fire, are torn out and replaced. Stone tops come off and are set back once the new boxes are level.
Bathrooms
A frozen line in an exterior bathroom wall can soak the floor and the wall before anyone notices. We rebuild both so the bathroom is ready again.
Framing, Subfloor, and Insulation
Wet or burned framing is repaired or replaced, damp insulation comes out, and soft subfloor is cut back before new flooring goes in.
Trim, Doors, and Paint
Baseboards, door casing, and doors are matched to the existing house, and walls are painted fully so the patch blends.
How we rebuild
How we make repairs blend in
A good rebuild is one you can’t spot afterward. That means matching what’s already in the house, not just replacing what was damaged.
We check that it’s dry first. Before any wall is closed, we confirm the framing and subfloor read dry, the same way we check water damage: against a dry room elsewhere in the house.
We match what’s there. Paint color and sheen, wall texture, trim profiles, and flooring are matched to the rooms that weren’t damaged, so the repair blends in.
We handle the paperwork. We pull permits when the work needs them, schedule the inspections, and keep your adjuster updated with photos and a line-by-line estimate.
Matching what’s already there
Paint
Why it’s trickyOld paint fades, and sheen shows differences in the light
How we handle itColor-match from a chip, and repaint the whole wall or room when needed.
Wall and ceiling texture

How we handle itTest on a scrap piece first, then match the pattern.
Hardwood floors
Why it’s trickySpecies, board width, and stain vary, and old floors have aged
How we handle itWeave in matching boards, then sand and refinish so it blends.
Trim and molding
Why it’s trickyOlder homes often have profiles that aren’t sold anymore
How we handle itFind the closest stock profile, or have pieces made to match.
Cabinets
Why it’s trickyStyles get discontinued
How we handle itReplace matching doors and boxes where possible, or refinish so new and old look alike.
Tile
Why it’s trickyTile lines get discontinued, and grout color shifts
How we handle itTrack down the same tile, or plan a deliberate border or accent.
Repair or replace
What can be repaired and what gets replaced
Not everything has to be torn out and replaced. Here’s what we usually see once the space is dry. Your estimate gives you the real answer for your home.
Small areas of drywall
Usually repairedPatched, taped, and textured to blend with the rest of the wall.
Stone and solid-surface countertops
Usually repairedThey can usually be removed and set back on new cabinets.
Plaster walls
Depends on the damageCracks and small areas can be repaired. Large damaged sections are often replaced with drywall finished to match.
Hardwood floors
Depends on the damageBoards that dried flat can often be sanded and refinished. Cupped or warped boards are replaced and woven in.
Tile floors and showers
Depends on the damageTile on a solid, dry subfloor can often stay. Loose tile or a damaged subfloor means tearing it out.
Wood cabinets
Depends on the damageSolid wood can often be repaired and refinished. Particleboard boxes that swelled are replaced.
Doors and trim
Depends on the damageSolid wood usually survives. MDF trim and hollow-core doors that swelled are replaced.
Subfloor
Depends on the damagePlywood that dried firm can stay. Soft, delaminated, or rotted subfloor is replaced.
Laminate and vinyl plank
Usually replacedLaminate swells when it gets wet, and water trapped under vinyl plank has to be dried, so both are usually replaced.
Carpet and pad
Usually replacedAfter a soaking or heavy smoke, carpet and pad are usually replaced.
Insulation
Usually replacedWet or smoke-damaged insulation is replaced before the walls are closed.
Permits, Licenses, and Lead-Safe Work in Reno
Building permits in the Truckee Meadows come from the City of Reno, the City of Sparks, or Washoe County, depending on your address. Painting and floor coverings usually don’t need a permit, while structural, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical work generally does.
The Nevada State Contractors Board licenses contractors for any job of $1,000 or more, counting labor and materials. It also licenses contractors for any job that needs a building permit. Electrical, plumbing, and heating and air work always requires a licensed contractor. You can verify a license at nscb.nv.gov.
Homes built before 1978 fall under EPA’s lead Renovation, Repair and Painting rule. Contractors who disturb painted surfaces in those homes must be certified, work lead-safe, and provide the Renovate Right pamphlet before work begins.
Before the rebuild
Other restoration services we offer in Reno
Every job starts with a free inspection and estimate. Here’s how the 24 Hour Flood Pros team helps with each type of damage.
Kitchen fires and wood stoves start many of the fires we see. Soot is acidic and keeps staining surfaces, so cleanup starts early. We remove soot, treat odor at the source, clean what can be saved, and rebuild what can’t.
More about Fire and Smoke Damage Restoration
Even in the high desert, a hidden leak in a wall or under a sink can feed mold for weeks. We find the moisture source, contain the area, remove the mold, and dry the space out.
More about Mold Remediation
Winter storms, heavy snow, and Truckee River flooding can all push water into homes. We dry the structure, remove damaged materials, and repair the ceilings and walls inside.
More about Storm Damage
A frozen sprinkler line or a kitchen fire can close a downtown restaurant or a Sparks warehouse for days. We extract, dry, and clean on a plan built around reopening, and we document each step for your carrier.

Insurance and claims
Reconstruction and your insurance claim
When the damage is covered, the rebuild is usually part of the same claim as the cleanup. Your adjuster approves the scope, and we work from it with photos and a line-by-line estimate.
Many replacement cost policies pay part of the claim first and hold back the rest, often called recoverable depreciation, until the repairs are finished. Bringing the house up to current building code may need ordinance or law coverage, so check your policy.
Your policy decides what’s covered, not us. We work with all major insurance carriers, including State Farm, Allstate, Liberty Mutual, Farmers, American Family, Travelers, and Nationwide. We bill your insurance directly for damage your policy covers.
Nevadans with a stuck claim can take it to the state Division of Insurance, which reviews consumer complaints against insurers.
What your adjuster will ask for
- The approved scope from the cleanup
- Photos of the damage before and after tear-out
- A line-by-line estimate for the rebuild
- Receipts for any work you’ve already paid for
What we send them
- Moisture readings showing the structure is dry
- Date-stamped photos at each stage of the rebuild
- A line-by-line estimate and any changes to it
- Final photos and records to close out the claim

Reno reconstruction FAQs
Can you rebuild if another company did the cleanup?
Yes. We’ll inspect the space, check that everything is dry, and write our own estimate. If the drying wasn’t finished, we’ll tell you before any walls are closed.
Do I need a permit for repairs in Reno?
It depends on the work and your address. The City of Reno, the City of Sparks, and Washoe County each issue their own permits for structural, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical work. Paint and floor coverings typically don’t need one.
Will the repairs match the rest of my home?
That’s the goal. We match paint, texture, trim, and flooring to the rooms that weren’t damaged. When an exact match isn’t available, we’ll show you the options before anything goes in.
Can I upgrade while you’re rebuilding?
Yes. Insurance usually pays to replace what you had, and you pay the difference for upgrades. Decide early, so materials can be ordered on time.
Does insurance pay for reconstruction?
If the damage is covered, the rebuild is usually part of the same claim. Many policies pay part up front and the rest once the repairs are finished. We bill your insurance directly for damage your policy covers.
How do I check that a contractor is licensed in Nevada?
Look the contractor up at nscb.nv.gov. Nevada requires a licensed contractor for jobs of $1,000 or more or any job that needs a permit. For older homes, ask for RRP certification too.
How long does reconstruction take?
Drywall and paint in a room or two can take a few days. Kitchens, several rooms, or work that needs permits and inspections can take several weeks or longer. Your estimate includes a schedule.
Can I stay in my home during reconstruction?
Usually, if the kitchen and a bathroom still work. For bigger rebuilds, it may make sense to stay somewhere else, and many policies help pay for that. We’ll tell you what to expect after the inspection.
How much does reconstruction cost in Reno?
It depends on how much needs rebuilding, the materials and finishes, what has to match, and whether permits are needed. The inspection and estimate are free, so you know the cost before any work starts. When insurance covers the damage, we send the itemized estimate straight to your adjuster.
