Restoration and reconstruction is the final phase of a mitigation project: repairing and rebuilding what had to be removed during water damage, mold remediation, or fire and smoke cleanup. Not every project requires this step — many losses are resolved through drying or cleaning alone, with no demolition needed. But when materials like drywall, insulation, flooring, or trim can't be salvaged, reconstruction is what returns the space to a finished, pre-loss condition.

As a licensed California contractor (CSLB #1135025), Agee Restoration Services can manage this phase directly, so you're not left coordinating between a mitigation company and a separate contractor.

Reconstruction Services

Drywall

Removal, replacement, taping, mudding, and texture matching.

Touch-up or full repaint of affected areas to match existing color and finish.

Finish Repairs

Trim, baseboards, cabinetry, and other finish carpentry affected by the original damage.

How We Approach Reconstruction

Reconstruction only begins after affected materials have been confirmed dry — rebuilding over moisture that hasn't fully cleared can trap problems behind new finishes. Once drying is complete and verified, we scope the reconstruction work needed, which can range from a single section of drywall to a full room rebuild depending on the extent of the original damage.

We aim to match existing finishes — wall texture, trim profiles, paint — as closely as possible so repaired areas blend with the rest of the property rather than standing out.

Customer Feedback

What Customers Say About Our Reconstruction Work

“I contacted Gabriel from Agee after the company that insurance recommended was responding poorly to my messages and taking days to follow up. As soon as I contacted Agee they scheduled my repairs and gave me walls again. The AC is broken and we hit a nasty heat wave in SD but Agee finished everything on time. I wish I had gone with them from the beginning. I could have saved myself 2weeks of living without walls. Highly recommend Agee for your drywall needs”

“Finding Gabriel and his team at Agee has been an absolute treasure for our home. Over time, they’ve helped us with multiple projects—including a bathroom remodel, drywall and painting work, and even tracking down and resolving a stubborn mystery odor.

Across every job, Gabriel has been consistently professional, responsive, and a pleasure to work with. His team delivers top-notch craftsmanship, but what I especially appreciate is their respect for our home. They are not only remarkably efficient, but they are also exceptionally careful about keeping the workspace clean and tidy from start to finish.

If you are looking for reliable, high-quality home improvement and repair work handled with true professionalism and care, I cannot recommend Gabriel and Agee enough!”

“Gabriel was professional, responsive, and incredibly skilled at what he does.

He was available to start the job right away, which was a huge plus, and he worked efficiently without cutting corners. The quality of his work is top-notch — everything looks seamless and well done. On top of that, his prices were very reasonable for the high level of craftsmanship he delivered.

Gabriel is also just a genuinely nice person to have around. Respectful, friendly, and someone we’d absolutely trust with any future repairs or work needed around the house. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for honest, reliable, and high-quality home repair services!”

Questions

Restoration & Reconstruction FAQ

Do you handle both mitigation and reconstruction, or just one?

We handle both. Agee Restoration Services can manage your project from the initial emergency response through final reconstruction, so you're working with one team for the full recovery process.

Will the repaired area match the rest of my home?

We work to match existing wall texture, trim, and paint as closely as possible. In some cases, especially with older homes or discontinued materials, a perfect match isn't always possible, and we'll discuss options with you before work begins.

How soon after drying can reconstruction start?

Reconstruction begins once we've confirmed, through moisture monitoring, that the affected materials and structure have reached a dry standard. Starting reconstruction too early can trap residual moisture behind new finishes, so we don't rush this step.

Can you work directly with my insurance adjuster on the reconstruction scope?

We can provide documentation of the mitigation and reconstruction scope that adjusters typically request. We're not a party to your insurance policy, so coverage decisions are between you and your insurer.
