Reconstruction is the final stage of restoration: rebuilding everything that had to be removed to dry or clean the structure. For most Austin homes that means hanging and finishing drywall, matching knockdown, orange-peel or popcorn ceiling texture, replacing insulation, baseboards and trim, repainting and, when needed, installing new flooring or cabinets. Crestline Restoration does this work with the same crew that handled your mitigation.
Keeping mitigation and rebuild with one company avoids the most common frustration after a water loss — a dried-out house sitting with open walls for weeks while you look for a contractor. Because we already have the moisture logs, photos and insurance scope, we can schedule repairs as soon as the structure is verified dry.
Matching is where reconstruction is won or lost. We blend new drywall into existing walls, match ceiling texture by hand and repaint whole wall planes when needed, so repaired areas do not stand out once the furniture is back.
Repair costs follow the approved scope: a ceiling patch with texture and paint is a small job, while flood-cut rebuilds with insulation, drywall, baseboards and paint across several rooms are larger. Flooring and cabinetry are usually the biggest line items. When the loss is covered, reconstruction is typically part of the same insurance claim as mitigation. We price it in the same format as the adjuster, explain any differences line by line and never ask you to pay for upgrades you did not choose.

Small ceiling or drywall repairs usually take two to four days because each coat of mud and texture needs time to dry. Larger rebuilds with flooring or cabinets typically take one to three weeks depending on material lead times.
Yes. We match knockdown, orange-peel, skip-trowel and popcorn textures by hand, and test on a sample board first when the existing pattern is unusual. Popcorn ceilings in older homes are checked for asbestos before disturbing them.
Most drywall, paint and flooring repairs do not require a permit in Austin. When work involves structural framing, electrical or plumbing changes, we coordinate the required permits and licensed trades.
Absolutely. Insurance pays for like-kind replacement; if you want an upgrade, we show the difference in writing so you only pay the extra for what you chose.
