Major Renovation 9

This was a tree damage project and worked with homeowners insurance co. When we are dealing with an insurance issue we always incorporate a Public Adjuster, the office is located in Staten Island and they are in business for many years with a great reputation, I have also used them for my family’s homes
I was contacted by HOUZZ.COM for this project and worked with the homeowner and her family. By law and Code we worked with a Architect and Engineer with a set of plans to rebuild the structure. Here is what we did:

  • Reframed some of the roof rafters.
  • Removed the existing shingled roof and soffits.
  • Installed proper venting for the attic.
  • Removed and replaced water-damaged plywood on the roof.
  • Replaced sheetrock in the ceilings in the bedrooms.
  • Installed new R-38 insulation.
  • Skim coated walls that were old-fashioned plaster.
  • Installed new baseboard heat.
  • Replaced light fixtures.
  • Painted bedrooms and hallway
  • Installed a new shingle roof

Homeowner and Family are very pleased this was a 4 week start to finish. We have been working with many insurance companies over the years and I take the project out of the owners and deal with Public Adjuster, Architect, Engineer, Building Dept, Permits and inspections with no out of pocket cost to the homeowners.
