Houston water damage repair — the carpentry side.
Water damage in Houston usually needs two crews. Whoever stops the water first, and the carpenter who fixes what got wet second. We're the second crew.
Not our scope
Some parts of a water event need licensed specialists before carpentry can begin. That's not us — and getting the sequence right saves you money.
- Active supply-line or drain leaks — licensed plumber
- Active roof leaks — licensed roofer
- Standing water and dry-out — restoration company
- Electrical damage or wet panels — licensed electrician
- Widespread mold contamination — licensed remediator
Our carpentry scope
Once the source is stopped and any needed mitigation is complete, this is the carpentry that puts the property back together.
- Removing wet drywall, insulation, and rotted wood
- Replacing damaged framing members and sheathing
- Re-flashing windows, doors, and penetrations
- Drywall openings, patches, trim, and paint touch-up
- Board-up for openings that can't be permanently repaired same-day
Common questions
Do you stop active water leaks?
No — a licensed plumber, roofer, or restoration company stops the source. Once the water is under control, we handle the carpentry: damaged wood, framing, drywall, trim, doors, and windows.
Should I call remediation or a carpenter first?
If water is still coming in, call whoever can stop it first — plumber for supply/drain issues, roofer for above-ceiling leaks, restoration company for standing water. We come in after the source is stopped and any remediation is complete.
How do you scope water damage carpentry?
Photos of the affected area plus a wide shot of context (window, wall, floor). If we can't tell scope from photos, we do a site visit. Final scope is confirmed on site once we can probe the wood.
Do you provide documentation for insurance?
We provide before, during, and after photos plus a written scope you can submit to your insurance company. We don't negotiate claims directly with adjusters.
What if the damage is worse than expected?
We stop, photograph, and get your written approval before continuing. Scope changes never happen silently.
