Water Damage Repair in Redwood City, CA

Rebuilding after water in Redwood Shores and beyond

Some 11,500 people live in Redwood Shores, behind a large levee system on what used to be Bay marsh. In April 2020, FEMA notified the City that unless the levees are modified, the area would be remapped as a Special Flood Hazard Area and roughly 4,700 households would have to carry flood insurance. The City's Sea Level Rise Protection Project is designed to regain FEMA accreditation.

In the Shores or anywhere else in town, the source has to be stopped and the space dried before we start; a big soak needs a mitigation crew with drying equipment. Our crew then removes soft drywall, checks the studs, replaces insulation and closes up with texture and paint that match. Adjusters get a written estimate backed by photos.

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.

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.

Water damage in Redwood City: questions

Do you work in Redwood City?

Yes. Redwood City is about 15 road miles from our base in San Bruno, roughly 22 minutes without traffic. We work all over town, from Mt. Carmel to Friendly Acres.

Who issues permits in Redwood City?

The City of Redwood City Community Development Department, Building Division (Building & Code Enforcement). Repairs and like-for-like replacements often don't need a permit; layout changes, new plumbing or new electrical usually do. When one is needed, the job is contracted through our licensed partner Bay Builder Inc.

When can noisy work happen in Redwood City?

Construction may run 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday, and contractors can't work weekends or City holidays without written approval from the Building Official, requested 30 calendar days before construction starts. We schedule noisy work inside those hours.

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.
