Helping You Navigate Property Damage, Step by Step

Experiencing fire, water, storm, or other property damage can be overwhelming. At Mastercraft on Main, LLC, we understand that restoring your property is about more than repairing a structure—it's about helping you move forward with confidence.

Whether you've experienced a burst pipe, fire, storm damage, or another unexpected event, we're here to guide you through the restoration process with clear communication and professional workmanship.

Step 1 – Ensure Safety

Your safety comes first.

If your property has experienced fire, structural damage, flooding, or electrical hazards:

  • Follow instructions from emergency responders.
  • Do not enter unsafe areas.
  • Shut off utilities only if it is safe to do so.
  • Contact emergency services when necessary.

Once the property is safe to access, the restoration process can begin.

Step 2 – Contact Your Insurance Company

If the damage may be covered by your homeowner's insurance policy, notify your insurance carrier as soon as possible.

They will:

  • Open a claim
  • Assign a claim number
  • Explain your coverage
  • Assign an adjuster if needed

Having your claim number available can help streamline communication throughout the project.

Step 3 – Contact Mastercraft on Main, LLC

Once you've reported the loss, contact us to schedule an on-site assessment.

We'll discuss:

  • The type of damage
  • Immediate concerns
  • Emergency protection needs
  • Next steps

Our goal is to help you understand the restoration process before work begins.

Step 4 – Emergency Protection

Some situations require immediate action to prevent additional damage.

Emergency services may include:

  • Emergency board-up
  • Temporary roof protection
  • Water extraction
  • Structural drying
  • Temporary weather protection
  • Property stabilization

Taking prompt action can help reduce additional damage while permanent repairs are being planned.

Step 5 – Damage Assessment

Every project begins with a careful inspection.

We evaluate:

  • Visible damage
  • Hidden damage
  • Structural concerns
  • Moisture intrusion
  • Safety issues
  • Areas requiring reconstruction

This assessment helps determine the scope of repairs.

Step 6 – Documentation

Accurate documentation is an important part of many restoration projects.

Documentation may include:

  • Damage photographs
  • Measurements
  • Scope of work
  • Material documentation
  • Supplemental information when necessary

This information helps keep everyone involved informed throughout the project.

Step 7 – Mitigation

The next priority is preventing additional damage.

Depending on the project, mitigation may include:

  • Water removal
  • Structural drying
  • Smoke and soot cleaning
  • Odor control
  • Removal of damaged materials
  • Mold remediation
  • Temporary protection

As an IICRC Certified Firm, we follow recognized industry standards during the mitigation process.

Step 8 – Reconstruction

Once mitigation has been completed, reconstruction begins.

This may include:

  • Drywall
  • Carpentry
  • Electrical repairs
  • Flooring
  • Painting
  • Cabinet installation
  • Trim work
  • Window and door replacement
  • Deck and exterior repairs

Our goal is to restore your property according to the approved scope of work while maintaining quality workmanship throughout the project.

Step 9 – Final Walk-Through

Before the project is complete, we'll review the finished work with you.

During the walk-through we'll:

  • Review completed work
  • Answer questions
  • Discuss warranties when applicable
  • Ensure the agreed scope has been completed

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I call my insurance company before contacting a contractor?

If you believe the damage may be covered by your insurance policy, it's generally a good idea to notify your insurance company promptly so they can begin the claims process. If you're unsure, we can explain how the restoration process typically works and answer questions about what to expect.

Can you work with my insurance company?

Yes. We routinely provide repair estimates, documentation, photographs, and other project information related to the work we perform when requested during the claims process.

Every project begins with a thorough assessment. Whenever possible and appropriate, we preserve structurally sound materials and focus on repairing or replacing only what is necessary.
