What Is Full-Service Reconstruction?
A turnkey program that starts with stabilization and dry-down (or fire/smoke/mold remediation as applicable) and ends with a finished, code-compliant space.
We handle: scope alignment, estimating, permits/engineering, trade coordination, QA/inspections, final cleaning, documentation, and warranty — led by one accountable PM.
Why Choose White Glove Plumbing
Cause-to-cure continuity: Licensed plumbing + restoration means we fix the cause, mitigate correctly, then rebuild without hand-offs.
Schedule discipline: Critical-path planning, daily PM check-ins, and milestone QA.
Carrier fluent: Line-item estimating, supplements with evidence, and clear separation of insurance scope vs. owner upgrades.
Occupied-space pros: Containment, negative air (when needed), clean egress, and after-hours options to minimize disruption.
Immediate Actions (What to Do Now)
Keep mitigation files (photos, moisture/psychrometric logs, demo notes); they drive the reconstruction scope.
List must-match finishes vs. upgrade wishes (flooring, cabinets, tile, paint).
Avoid hiring piecemeal trades; scope gaps create delays and change orders.
Call our 24/7 dispatcher — we’ll book a reconstruction planning visit and baseline schedule.
