Water damage repair, after the leak

Once the leak is fixed and the space is dry, we put the room back: drywall, ceiling, baseboards, trim, paint and, when it's needed, the floor.

Five-star reviews on ThumbtackRead what customers wrote, word for word

Water damage is two jobs. First someone stops the water and dries the space: a plumber for a pipe, a roofer for the roof, a water mitigation company when a lot of material got soaked. Then someone rebuilds what was ruined. The second job is ours.

We cut out drywall that went soft, look at the framing behind it, replace wet insulation and close the wall back up. Baseboards that swelled come off and new ones go on. Then texture, primer and paint, so the room reads as one surface again.

If an insurance claim is involved, you get a written estimate with photos of the damage to send your adjuster.

J&J and Junior and crew provides great Handyman services and support especially for seniors that need a little excellent home maintenance for a reasonable price. Junior and crew repaired and caulked my upstairs shower pan to its shower wall and helped mme clean up my roof deck by cleaning up leafe debris. They were prompt and knowledgeable and honest about their estimates to complete the maintenance. Highly recommended for repair and fixing those tough maintenance jobs you don’t have the time or expertise to finish.

Junior and his crew were awesome to work with. Junior was always on time, respectful, thoughtful, and meticulous in his work. He is genuinely a kind soul and a great human - as were all his crew members. The work was very fairly priced. He always showed up when he said he would and he never kept me guessing. I would strongly recommend his group. For reference, he did a full interior remodel/refresh of our condo: floors, kitchen, walls, and bathrooms.

Questions people ask

Do you do water extraction or drying?

No. For standing water or soaked walls, call a water mitigation company first; they bring the drying equipment. When the space is dry, we take over the repairs.

How do I know the wall is dry enough to close?

We won't close up a wall that's still damp. If there's doubt, we open it further and let it dry first, because drywall over wet framing grows mold.

Can you match the rest of the ceiling?

In most rooms, yes. Texture and old paint are the tricky part; sometimes repainting the whole ceiling is what makes the patch disappear.

Will my insurance cover it?

That depends on your policy and your adjuster. What we can do is give you a written estimate, with photos of the damage, to send them.

Also on the list

Bedroom painted gray with bright white baseboards and new wood-look plank floor

Interior painting

Walls, ceilings, trim and cabinets, patched before paint.
