Reconstruction & remodeling in Tampa

After a water, fire, or storm loss, the rebuild is where property owners usually get stuck with a second contractor, a second estimate, and a second timeline. With Carter, the company that dried and cleaned your property rebuilds it.

Rebuilds after water, fire, and storm losses

Once the property is stabilized and dry, the real repair begins. We take it from open walls and bare framing back to a finished, livable space.

Crew reviewing plans on a reconstruction project

Signs you're ready for a rebuild

  • The property is dry and cleaned but still open: drywall, flooring, or cabinets removed
  • Fire or smoke damaged framing, ceilings, or finishes
  • A storm damaged the roof, windows, siding, or interior
  • Your insurer approved a scope and you need a licensed contractor to carry it out
  • The repair is structural or too large for a handyman

How it works

How a reconstruction job runs

1

Assess and scope

We walk the property, review the damage or your remodeling goals, and build a written scope.

2

Align with insurance

For loss-related work, we coordinate the scope with your adjuster so it matches the approved claim.

3

Schedule

You get a written schedule and materials plan before work starts.

4

Build

Our crews and licensed trades handle framing, drywall, flooring, and finishes, with regular updates from your project manager.

5

Final walkthrough

We walk it with you and don't call it done until it's right.

Insurance help

We help with the claim, not just the repair

When the rebuild follows an insurance loss, the scope has to match the claim. Your project manager works with your adjuster so the rebuild and the paperwork stay in step.

  • ✓ A dedicated project manager on every job
  • ✓ Photos, moisture readings, and scope documentation prepared for your adjuster
  • ✓ We communicate directly with your insurance company and keep you informed
  • ✓ Emergency work is documented from the first visit

What your policy covers is between you and your carrier. Our job is to make sure the claim has what it needs.

FAQ

Reconstruction questions

Do I need a separate contractor after the restoration?

Not with Carter. The team that dried, cleaned, and stabilized your property is the same company that rebuilds it, so there's no hand-off and no second estimate.

Can you work with my insurance company's scope?

Yes. We coordinate with your adjuster so the reconstruction scope lines up with the approved claim, and your project manager keeps you updated on both.

How long does a rebuild take?

It depends on the size of the loss, material availability, and permitting. We give you a written schedule before work starts and tell you early if something changes.

Do you do remodeling without an insurance loss?

Yes. We remodel kitchens and bathrooms and take on general remodeling projects under our Florida general contractor license.

Are you licensed?

Yes. The Carter Companies is a Florida Certified General Contractor, CGC #1509672.
