What Our Reconstruction & Cleanup Service Includes
Here is the direct answer: Reconstruction and cleanup in East Bronx covers everything from pulling out wet drywall to repainting the finished room, and it typically costs between $1,500 and $12,000 depending on the size of the affected area and what needs rebuilding. Most jobs take three to ten days, including drying time. We keep the whole job under one roof so you never play messenger between a cleanup crew and a carpenter.
Full-Service Reconstruction
When a fire in a Jerome Park kitchen burns through the ceiling or a burst pipe soaks a finished basement in Pelham Bay, pieces of your home have to come out before anything can go back in. Full-service reconstruction means Floodline Restoration Co. handles the tear-out, the framing, the insulation, the drywall, the paint, and the trim as one continuous job. You don’t hire a separate contractor, and you don’t wait two weeks for a third party to show up. Our certified technicians do the work, and our name is on the end result.
Drywall & Flooring Repair
Water and fire ruin drywall and flooring long before the surface looks bad. In East Bronx homes, we regularly find moisture wicked up into the drywall behind baseboards after a sewer backup, and hardwood floors cupping in Hunts Point after a dishwasher leak. We cut out the damaged sections, dry the cavity to the dry standard, and install new material matched to the existing profile. The repair should be invisible, and that is the point.
Contents Restoration & Pack-Out
Furniture, clothing, and heirlooms don’t always have to be thrown away after a flood or fire. When a job is large, we pack out the contents of the affected rooms, inventory every item, clean what can be restored, and store the rest in a climate-controlled facility until the rebuild is done. We photograph everything for your insurance carrier and hand you a written list so nothing disappears. This is especially important for East Bronx homeowners with decades of belongings in a finished basement off Throgs Neck Boulevard.
Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning
Not every job requires new carpet. When a clean-water leak soaks a bedroom carpet in Morris Park and the pad is still sound, we extract the water, dry the carpet in place, and deep-clean the surface with professional-grade equipment. Upholstered furniture that took on smoke odor from a small kitchen fire can often be cleaned and deodorized rather than replaced. We tell you honestly which items are salvageable and which are not, before any work is authorized.
Post-Construction Cleanup
After the last coat of paint dries and the flooring is down, the house still isn’t ready to live in until the dust is gone. Post-construction cleanup removes drywall dust, sawdust, nails, and debris from every surface, including inside cabinets and ducts. We run HEPA-filtered air scrubbers in finished spaces so the air you breathe in a rebuilt East Bronx bedroom is as clean as the surfaces you touch. The job isn’t done until the house feels like home again, not like a construction site.
Insurance Claim Documentation
The insurance process is where most homeowners in East Bronx get worn down. We handle it differently. From the first day, we photograph the damage, log the moisture readings, and write the scope of work in terms your adjuster understands. Then we bill your carrier directly, which means you are not fronting thousands of dollars while waiting on a check. We coordinate with your adjuster throughout the job, and we hand you the same documentation we send them. You get a copy of everything.
We also handle the related pieces many homeowners don’t think about until they’re standing in the middle of it: water damage restoration before the rebuild starts, mold remediation after a flood, fire and smoke damage cleanup, and storm damage repairs. The line the water left is where we start, and we don’t stop until the house is whole again.

Brands We Service for Reconstruction & Cleanup
Our crews work with Dri-Eaz and Phoenix drying equipment on nearly every East Bronx reconstruction job that involves water. Dri-Eaz dehumidifiers and air movers are the standard in the restoration industry, and we run them daily while logging moisture readings until the structure hits the dry standard. Phoenix axial air movers and LGR dehumidifiers are on our trucks for tight spaces like crawl spaces under Pelham Bay porches and closets in older Morris Park apartments. Both brands are built for continuous operation, which matters when you are drying a home around the clock for four days straight.
For jobs that require targeted drying inside wall cavities or under hardwood floors, we use XPOWER and B-Air equipment. XPOWER air movers are light and powerful, which lets us position them in tight stairwells without tearing out more than necessary. B-Air high-velocity fans and dehumidifiers back up the larger units when the affected area is spread across multiple rooms. Whether your home has a finished basement, a crawl space, or plaster walls from the 1950s, our equipment list is built around what actually works in East Bronx construction.
Signs You Need Reconstruction & Cleanup Right Now
- Water stains spreading across a ceiling or wall. A stain that grows over 24 to 48 hours means water is still entering the space, not just lingering from a past leak. If you see it in a Jerome Park living room ceiling or a Throggs Neck bathroom wall, the source needs to be found and the damaged drywall removed before mold sets in behind the paint.
- Drywall that feels soft, spongy, or crumbly to the touch. Wet gypsum loses its structural integrity fast, and once it sags, it cannot be saved. In East Bronx basements, we see this after groundwater seepage or a sump pump failure, and the fix is cut-and-replace, not paint-over.
- A musty odor that won’t air out. That smell is often microbial growth inside a wall cavity or under flooring, out of sight. If a room in your Pelham Bay house smells like a wet basement in dry weather, call before the affected area spreads to framing and subfloor.
- Bubbling or peeling paint on walls or ceilings near plumbing. Bubbling paint means moisture is pushing through from behind, which indicates an active leak inside the wall. In older East Bronx homes with galvanized supply lines, pinhole leaks behind walls are common, and they need surgical drywall removal to fix properly.
- Flooring that cups, buckles, or separates at the seams. Hardwood and laminate respond to moisture by expanding, and once boards start to cup, the moisture has already been present for days. In Morris Park and Pelham Bay homes with original hardwood over old subfloors, this almost always requires drying equipment under the floor or board replacement.
Our Reconstruction & Cleanup Process - Step by Step
- 1
Assessment and scope, in writing. We walk the affected area with you, take moisture readings with professional meters, and write down exactly what needs to come out and what goes back in. You get a written scope and a price before any work starts. No surprises on the bill, and no open-ended “we’ll see what we find” pricing.
- 2
Containment and demolition. We seal off the damaged area with plastic sheeting and negative air pressure when needed, especially on fire and mold jobs where dust and spores could spread. Then we remove damaged drywall, flooring, insulation, and any unsalvageable materials down to clean framing.
- 3
Drying and daily monitoring. We set Dri-Eaz dehumidifiers and air movers and leave them running, then return daily to log moisture readings. You see the numbers trend down, and we bill your insurance carrier directly with the log as proof the drying was done correctly.
- 4
Rebuild and finish. Our own crew installs new drywall, tapes and muds the seams, sands, primes, paints, and reinstalls flooring and trim. This is not a subcontractor who shows up after a handoff. The same supervisor who read the moisture map on day one manages the rebuild through the final walkthrough.
- 5
Final inspection and guaranteed sign-off. We walk the finished space with you, review the work against the original scope, and hand you the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If anything is not right within 90 days, we come back and fix it. That is the Keystone Standard, Krafted right, Every time, Your home first, Standing behind it.
How Much Does Reconstruction & Cleanup Cost in East Bronx?
A straightforward drywall and flooring repair in East Bronx, such as replacing a water-damaged bathroom wall and a section of vinyl flooring, typically runs $1,500 to $4,500. A full basement rebuild after a sewer backup in Pelham Bay or Morris Park generally falls between $6,000 and $12,000, depending on the square footage, whether framing needs replacement, and the finish level of the space. Fire damage reconstruction in a kitchen can range from $8,000 to $20,000 once cabinets, counters, electrical, and painting are included. These are honest ranges based on what we see across Hunts Point, Throggs Neck, and Jerome Park, not generic national averages.
What affects the price most is the depth of the damage: how far water wicked up the drywall, whether the subfloor is involved, and whether the age of the home means matching plaster or trim profiles. Older East Bronx homes with 1950s plaster walls often cost more to match than newer drywall construction. To avoid overpaying, insist on a written scope that separates demolition from drying from rebuild, and make sure the company does all three with its own crew.

Yes, and we do it regularly. Many homes in Pelham Bay, Morris Park, and Throggs Neck were built in the 1940s and 1950s with plaster over wood lath, which requires different cutting and finishing techniques than modern drywall. Our crews match the existing wall profile and texture so the repaired section blends with the original room. We also handle older hardwood floors that need board replacement rather than full tear-out.
Yes. Our live dispatchers answer the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and a certified crew can be on site in East Bronx the same visit.
