Restoration and reconstruction often go hand in hand. When disaster strikes, whether from a flood, fire, or storm, the path to recovery can be overwhelming. In addition to cleaning the devastation, your residence may require the replacement of drywall, windows, or roofing, and could even include larger scale projects to repair or replace any weakened structure of your home. More than just tending to a mess, the process of returning to normal life involves both restoration and reconstruction.
So what does that mean? Depending on the scope of the project, it will determine what kind of contractor you call. A general contractor deals with remodeling a home’s exterior, interior, or both, usually for cosmetic purposes. A general contractor usually doesn’t have in-depth knowledge of insurance companies or coverage. A restoration contractor, however, deals with insurance companies to help replace anything that has been damaged due to fire, water, weather, and whatever else is covered by the homeowner’s insurance policy. They have a general contracting license, but specialize in damage assessment and estimation, as well as negotiating with insurance companies.

Choosing the same contractor for both restoration and reconstruction offers a range of benefits that can make the entire process more efficient, cost-effective, and less stressful. Here are just five reasons why keeping the entire project “under one roof” can make the process better:
A contractor who manages both restoration and reconstruction often has an established network of skilled professionals. This means they’re likely to work with trusted experts who have proven themselves on past projects. This familiarity creates a level of teamwork and communication that’s hard to achieve when different contractors are brought in at different stages. With everyone on the same page, the project moves forward smoothly, issues are resolved quickly, and costly delays are avoided.
At ATI Restoration, our highly trained teams are certified by the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC). This prestigious certification is awarded only to professionals who meet the high standards of the organization. Regardless of the cause or the extent of the damage, our experienced teams strive for excellence in each aspect of every job.
Handling restoration and reconstruction involves a lot of moving parts, and it takes careful coordination to keep everything on track. Contractors who specialize in both areas bring extensive project management experience, ensuring that each step of the process is handled efficiently. They can better coordinate schedules, manage resources, and anticipate potential issues before they become significant problems, helping to keep your project on time and within budget.
ATI Restoration brings a wealth of project management expertise to the table. Our proven experts make sure every phase of your project is handled smoothly and efficiently. We coordinate all the moving parts, keep everyone on the same page, and make sure tasks are completed in the correct order. This proactive approach helps us stay on schedule and on budget.
Managing a restoration and reconstruction project can be particularly stressful when dealing with multiple contractors. You may find yourself juggling numerous points of contact with different schedules, communication styles, and priorities. This can lead to miscommunication, delays, and frustration. In the worst scenarios, it can result in substandard results and wasted money. By hiring the same contractor for both restoration and reconstruction, you only have one point of contact for all aspects of the project, from start to finish.
With ATI, you only have to communicate with one point of contact who oversees the entire project. This streamlined communication reduces the risk of miscommunication and ensures that everyone involved is aligned with the project’s objectives and timelines. If an issue arises, you know exactly who to call, anytime, day or night.
A major advantage of using the same contractor for both restoration and reconstruction is their ability to negotiate discounts. Contractors who oversee entire projects can leverage their purchasing power to acquire bulk discounts on materials, equipment, and labor. This maximizes savings and ensures that the savings are passed on to you. The contractor can also optimize the project schedule, minimizing downtime and reducing labor costs.
Most restoration companies rely on multiple independent contractors to handle big projects. ATI Restoration has a depth of talent and expertise in a range of specialized fields. This enables us to fast-track reconstruction work and get you back home sooner, whether damage was caused by fire, water, or another event. We take pride in keeping the entire process affordable and efficient.
One of the strongest arguments for using the same contractor for both restoration and reconstruction is their comprehensive understanding of the entire project. When different contractors handle different phases of the project, communication gaps and misunderstandings can arise. This can lead to costly inefficiencies, delays, and mistakes. A single contractor with a holistic view of the project can anticipate challenges early on, and make sure that potential issues are addressed before they escalate.
At ATI Restoration, we’re committed to delivering the best possible results for all of your post-disaster needs.
