Scope comes before schedule
A written scope lists every material and finish being replaced, room by room. That document is what your carrier reviews and what keeps the project from drifting into surprise change orders.

Overview
What is reconstruction and rebuild?
Reconstruction is the phase after mitigation is complete. It covers repairing or rebuilding the structure and finishes affected by the original damage, with the goal of restoring the home to its pre-loss condition.
Many restoration companies stop at mitigation and hand this phase to a separate contractor. We keep it in house.
When reconstruction is needed
- After water, storm, fire, or mold mitigation is complete and the structure needs repair
- Flooring, drywall, cabinetry, or fixtures damaged beyond cleaning and drying
- Structural repairs following storm or fire damage
What to look for
Signs a job needs true reconstruction
- 1Drywall, insulation, or subfloor was removed during mitigation
- 2Cabinets, trim, or flooring cannot be saved by cleaning and drying
- 3Framing, sheathing, or roof structure was damaged
- 4Electrical, plumbing, or HVAC was disturbed by the loss or the demo
- 5The finished look no longer matches from room to room
Learn the basics
What the rebuild phase really involves
Reconstruction is ordinary construction happening under insurance rules and a tight timeline. Knowing the sequence keeps expectations realistic.
02
Pre-loss condition is the target
The goal is the home you had, not a minimum patch and not an upgrade you did not ask for. If you do want to upgrade something while walls are open, that gets priced separately and clearly.
03
Trades have to run in order
Framing, then rough electrical and plumbing, then insulation and drywall, then paint, flooring, and trim. Skipping ahead to make a room look finished usually means tearing it back open later.
04
Continuity saves the timeline
When mitigation and reconstruction sit with different companies, the handoff is where weeks disappear. Keeping both in house means the crew that dried the house already knows what is behind the walls.

Post mitigation meeting: walk the home, agree on the plan and the finishes.
Scope and approval: written scope documented and coordinated with your carrier.
Build back: trades sequenced in order with progress updates as we go.

Frequently asked questions
Do I have to use Spartan for reconstruction if another company did my mitigation?
No. We take on reconstruction after another company handled the mitigation. We review their drying documentation first and verify the structure is dry before any material goes back in.
How long does a typical reconstruction project take?
A single room repair often runs one to two weeks. Larger rebuilds involving cabinetry, flooring, and multiple trades run several weeks and depend on material lead times and claim approval. You get a written schedule before work starts.
Does reconstruction work go through my insurance the same way mitigation does?
Generally yes. We work with all carriers on both phases and keep the documentation consistent from mitigation through rebuild.
Do you handle permits and inspections?
Structural, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical work is permitted where the local jurisdiction requires it, and we coordinate the inspections as part of the project rather than leaving it to you.
Can I upgrade finishes while my home is being rebuilt?
Yes. Insurance covers restoring what you had, so any upgrade beyond that is priced and approved separately so you always know which part is the claim and which part is your choice.
Will I have one point of contact during the rebuild?
Yes. The same team that handled mitigation carries the job through reconstruction, so you are not re-explaining your home to a new company halfway through.
What happens if you find more damage once the walls are open?
We document it, share it with your carrier as a supplement, and talk it through with you before proceeding. Hidden damage is common and it is handled openly, not as a surprise bill.
Do you clean up and protect the rest of my home during construction?
Yes. Work areas get contained, floors and walkways are protected, and debris is removed as the job moves instead of piling up until the end.
