The mitigation company dried your home, but who puts it back together? Don’t settle for a basic patch job that leaves visible seams and mismatched paint. We specialize in post-mitigation drywall restoration and insurance claim repairs, ensuring every detail meets strict California Building Codes and your home is restored to a flawless, pre-loss condition.

✅  Strict Moisture Verification: We never close up damp walls. Before installing new drywall, we use professional meters to verify the wood framing is strictly under 15% moisture content, protecting your home from future mold liability.

✅  Title 24 & EPA Code Compliance: Insurance adjusters often miss mandatory local upgrades. We install energy-compliant insulation (Title 24) and strictly follow EPA Lead-Safe protocols (Cert #R-I-73358-25-00700) for older San Jose homes.

✅  Flawless Texture Matching: Whether your home has Orange Peel, Knockdown, or a premium Level 5 Smooth finish, our drywall experts blend the new sections seamlessly into the existing surface.

✅  Corner-to-Corner Premium Painting: A patch is always visible if you only paint the repaired spot. We apply Sherwin-Williams / Benjamin Moore primers and paint the entire continuous surface (corner-to-corner) to guarantee zero “flashing” or color mismatch.

Water damage wall repair and framing inspection in San Jose. Exposed wood studs, ABS plumbing pipes, and heavy-duty floor protection before new drywall installation.

The Put-Back Process: From Approved Claim to Flawless Finish

Step 1: Estimate Review & Code Supplement

We start by auditing your insurance paperwork (Desk Review). We review the Adjuster's Estimate to ensure critical California Building Codes (like Title 24 insulation upgrades and EPA RRP protocols) were not missed. If they were, we submit a Supplement to your carrier to maximize your legal payout before work begins.

Step 2: Site Containment & Moisture Verification

We protect your property. We move furniture, install heavy-duty Ram Board for floor protection, and set up plastic dust barriers. Before closing any walls or ceilings, we use digital moisture meters to verify the framing is strictly under 15% moisture to prevent future mold.

Step 3: Code-Compliant Installation & Drywall

We install new, energy-efficient insulation required by San Jose's 2025 building codes. We then hang new drywall, secure it properly to the joists/studs, and tape the seams using industry-standard compounds.

Step 4: Texture Matching & Corner-to-Corner Painting

A patch shouldn't look like a patch. We perfectly blend the new texture (Orange Peel, Knockdown, or Level 5 Smooth) into the existing surface. Finally, we apply Sherwin-Williams or Benjamin Moore primer and paint the entire continuous wall or ceiling from corner to corner. No visible seams. No color flashing.

Very happy with the work that was done. I was in need of some drywall repair and Sergei made the process very easy. I was given a rough estimate via text and made a appointment for a few days later. I had water damage to the ceiling above my shower. After Sergei was done it look like another ever happen. I recommend him for all all water damage repair and drywall repair. 5 stars across the board.

Sam is incredible! He’s friendly, quick to respond and even takes time to teach me things when I ask. He works efficiently and his prices are incredibly reasonable. His quality of work is excellent. I’ve hired him for multiple different house projects, renovations and repairs and he consistently does a great job. I will continue to use his services and refer him to friends that need help with house projects.

Sergei is very skilled. He came on time and completed the job quickly and efficiently. The patch blends perfectly with the rest of the wall, you can't even tell there was a hole. Highly recommended!
