Structural Repair & Rebuild
From the cleanup through the finish carpentry. One Respond Property Solutions contract, one project manager, one timeline.
How Our Structural Repair & Rebuild Service Works
Managed Repair is Respond Property Solutions's single-source rebuild program. Instead of juggling restoration plus a general contractor, our project managers coordinate framing, drywall, electrical, paint, and finish work as one continuous job. You sign one contract.
- Single-contract Managed Repair program
- Licensed sub-trades for framing, electrical, plumbing, HVAC
- Insurance-grade scope writing and Xactimate estimating
- Dedicated project manager and weekly client updates
- Final walkthrough and warranty on rebuild work
What a Managed Fire Rebuild Involves
Reconstruction after a fire is a different discipline from ordinary remodeling. The scope has to satisfy your insurance carrier, the building department, and the structural realities of a fire-damaged frame — all at once.
Scope Development
Your rebuild scope is developed jointly with your adjuster and written as line-item Xactimate entries — the format carriers price and approve in. When walls open and hidden damage appears, supplements are documented and submitted the same way.
Permits & Inspections
Fire rebuilds typically require permits for structural, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical work. We handle applications, schedule municipal inspections at each stage, and keep every sign-off in your project file.
Lead-Safe Practices
In homes built before 1978, disturbing painted surfaces triggers the EPA RRP rule. Where it applies, we work lead-safe: containment, controlled demolition, and EPA-compliant disposal procedures.
Structurally, fire damage is judged member by member. Charred framing is evaluated for char depth and remaining load capacity: lightly charred members can often be cleaned, sealed against odor, and reinforced by sistering new lumber alongside, while heat-weakened or deeply charred members are removed and replaced. Those engineering decisions are made during assessment and written into the scope — before demolition, not after.
Because cleanup and rebuild run under a single Respond Property Solutions contract, there is no handoff gap between mitigation and reconstruction. One project manager owns the schedule, the sub-trades, the inspections, and the communication with you and your carrier.
The Structural Repair & Rebuild Process
Seven managed stages, one contract, one point of contact.
Structural Assessment
Framing, roof structure, and systems are evaluated member by member — char depth, load capacity, and what can be saved versus replaced.
Scope with Your Adjuster
We develop the rebuild scope jointly with your adjuster and write it as line-item Xactimate entries your carrier can approve quickly.
Contract & Permits
One contract covers the entire rebuild. We file permit applications and set the inspection schedule with the building department.
Selective Demolition
Compromised materials come out under controlled conditions — including EPA RRP lead-safe containment in pre-1978 homes where required.
Structural Rebuild
Licensed sub-trades rebuild framing, roofing, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC, with municipal inspections passed at each stage.
Finishes
Drywall, paint, flooring, cabinetry, and trim return the space to pre-loss condition — matched to what was there or upgraded per your claim.
Final Inspection & Walkthrough
Final municipal sign-off, then a room-by-room walkthrough with you before we close out the project and warranty the work.
One Contract. One Manager. One Timeline.
The alternative — a restoration company for mitigation, then a general contractor for rebuild — means two scopes, two schedules, and a gap in the middle where projects stall. Managed Repair removes the gap.
- Single contract from cleanup through finish carpentry
- Dedicated project manager and weekly progress updates
- Licensed sub-trades for framing, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC
- Permit management and inspection scheduling handled for you
- Supplements documented and submitted when hidden damage appears
- Final walkthrough and warranty on rebuild work
A Rebuild Partner Who Was There From Day One
Continuity
The team that mitigated your loss already knows every affected cavity and surface. Nothing gets lost in a handoff to an outside contractor.
Certified & Licensed
IICRC Certified, licensed and insured, with OSHA-trained personnel and documented compliance at every stage of the rebuild.
Insurance-Fluent
Xactimate scopes, supplement handling, and direct insurance billing where available — so the rebuild and the claim move together.
A Scope Your Adjuster Helped Build
Rebuild disputes usually start with scopes written in isolation. Ours are developed with your adjuster from the first walkthrough, priced as Xactimate line items, and updated through documented supplements when hidden damage surfaces — so approvals track the work instead of chasing it.
- Joint scope development with your carrier's adjuster
- Line-item Xactimate estimates and supplements
- Photo documentation from demolition through final finish
- Direct insurance billing where available
Free Fire Damage Inspection
Wondering whether your structure can be repaired or must be rebuilt? An IICRC Certified inspector will assess the damage, photograph and document it, and give you insurer-ready findings — free.
Rebuild Questions
Not with our Managed Repair program. Respond Property Solutions carries the project from cleanup through reconstruction under one contract, with one project manager coordinating licensed sub-trades for framing, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and finishes.
Xactimate is the estimating platform most insurance carriers use to price restoration work. Because we write your rebuild scope as Xactimate line items — the same format your adjuster reviews in — approvals move faster and there are fewer disputes about what the work should include.
We do. Fire rebuilds typically require building permits and inspections for structural, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical work. Our project managers handle permit applications, schedule municipal inspections at each required stage, and keep the approvals in your project file.
The EPA Renovation, Repair and Painting rule governs work that disturbs painted surfaces in homes built before 1978, which may contain lead-based paint. Where it applies, we use lead-safe work practices — containment, controlled demolition, and EPA-compliant disposal procedures — to protect your household during the rebuild.
It depends on char depth and remaining structural capacity. Lightly charred members can often be cleaned, sealed, and reinforced by sistering new lumber alongside; deeply charred or heat-weakened members are removed and replaced. The determination is made during structural assessment and documented in your scope.
Hidden damage is common once walls are opened. We document the new findings with photos, write a supplement in Xactimate, and submit it to your adjuster for approval — so the scope and the claim stay aligned without the project stalling.
It varies with the extent of structural damage, permit timelines, and carrier approvals. What we control, we compress: one contract eliminates the mitigation-to-rebuild handoff gap, and your project manager gives you a written schedule with weekly updates from day one.
