    Our Process

    From Mitigation to Move-In

    1

    Damage Assessment

    Our project manager inspects the property alongside the mitigation team, creating a comprehensive scope that covers both drying and reconstruction from day one.

    2

    Insurance Coordination

    We prepare detailed line-item estimates using Xactimate, the same software your insurance company uses. We negotiate directly with your adjuster to ensure fair coverage.

    3

    Design & Material Selection

    Choose your finishes, flooring, cabinets, countertops, paint colors, fixtures. We help you select materials that match your style and budget.

    4

    Permits & Scheduling

    We pull all required building permits and create a detailed construction schedule. You know exactly what happens when.

    5

    Construction

    Our licensed crews handle all trades in-house, framing, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, drywall, flooring, paint, and trim. No subcontractor runaround.

    6

    Final Walkthrough

    A comprehensive inspection ensures every detail meets our standards and yours. We handle final cleaning, warranty registration, and permit closeout.

    Insurance

    Insurance Coordination Built In

    Insurance-funded reconstruction requires a specific skillset that most general contractors don\'t have. We write estimates in Xactimate, speak the language of adjusters, and know how to document and supplement claims to ensure you receive fair compensation.

    Because we handle both mitigation and reconstruction, your insurance company deals with one company and one set of documentation from start to finish. This eliminates the gaps, overlaps, and finger-pointing that happen when two separate companies handle different phases.

    Xactimate estimates that match insurance requirements
    Direct communication with your claims adjuster
    Supplemental claims for hidden damage found during construction
    One unified claim for mitigation and reconstruction
    Most homeowners pay only their deductible

    Rebuilding in Houston

    Reconstruction Demand in the Houston Area

    Houston’s exposure to hurricanes and tropical storms means Harris County homes regularly need rebuild work after wind, roof, and water intrusion events. Storms that stall over the region can drop a foot or more of rain in a day, overwhelming drainage and pushing water into homes that have never flooded before.

    Bayou flooding along waterways like Buffalo Bayou and Brays Bayou drives much of the area’s reconstruction demand. Homes in low-lying sections near these channels can take on several feet of water, requiring full interior demolition down to the studs and sometimes replacement of slab-level electrical and plumbing.

    Houston’s expansive clay soils and prevalence of slab foundations add complexity to rebuild work. Soil movement after heavy rain or drought can crack slabs and shift framing, so reconstruction crews need to account for foundation condition before rebuilding walls and finishes on top of it.

    Houston Area Rebuild Projects

    In Meyerland, repeat flooding from bayou overflow has led many homeowners to rebuild with raised electrical panels, elevated mechanical equipment, and moisture-resistant materials below the flood line, even when the project is otherwise a standard insurance restoration.

    Heights-area bungalows damaged by wind or water need rebuild crews familiar with pier-and-beam foundations and early-1900s framing dimensions, which differ from the slab construction common in newer Houston subdivisions.

    Homes within mapped floodplains that are substantially damaged often trigger local elevation requirements before reconstruction can proceed. We coordinate with permitting offices early so homeowners understand whether elevation work is required alongside the standard rebuild scope.

    Commercial and multifamily properties along the bayou corridors need fire and flood reconstruction that accounts for code-mandated floodproofing measures at or below the base flood elevation, which we fold into the insurance estimate from the start.

    FAQ

    Rebuild Questions

    Yes. IRS Rebuild is the construction arm of Independent Restoration Services. When we respond to your emergency, our mitigation and construction teams coordinate from day one. This means one company, one point of contact, one insurance claim process, from the initial emergency through handing you back the keys.

    We create detailed estimates using Xactimate, the same software your insurance company uses. We submit directly to your adjuster, negotiate for fair coverage, and supplement the claim if additional damage is discovered during construction. Most homeowners pay only their deductible.

    Timeline depends on scope. Minor rebuilds (one room, drywall and flooring) take 2-4 weeks. Major structural reconstruction (multiple rooms, framing, mechanical systems) can take 2-4 months. We provide a detailed timeline before starting and keep you updated weekly.

    Absolutely. While insurance pays to restore your home to pre-loss condition, many homeowners take the opportunity to upgrade. Want better cabinets, different flooring, or an updated layout? We help you understand the cost difference between insurance-covered work and upgrades.

    Our core crews, framing, drywall, flooring, paint, and trim, are full-time IRS employees. For licensed specialty work like electrical, plumbing, and HVAC, we use the same trusted local subcontractors we've worked with for years, and our project manager oversees all work.

    Yes. We pull all required building permits and schedule all inspections. Working with permits ensures your reconstruction meets current building codes and protects your home's value and insurability. We handle the entire permitting process so you don't have to.
