The rebuild half of a Santa Ana loss

SOS Restoration Santa Ana owns the whole rebuild, not just the drying, under one roof. The same people who dried your home frame it, patch it, paint it, and lay the floor back. Nobody new appears. One price, set first. Call (949) 522-4470.

Why one crew for both?

A job split between two companies stalls where they meet.

Hand a dried home to an outside contractor and the disputes are yours to referee. We refuse to split it. Whoever opened your wet wall is whoever closes it.

What goes back in?

All of it: board, texture, paint, floors, cabinets, trim.

Everything pulled to dry the home returns. A single license, CSLB #1131134, carries the crew from the studs out to the baseboard.

My place is a condo. Any different?

Yes; the HOA usually has to approve before we open a wall.

In a condo the association owns the wall between units and often the plumbing in it. We work to its rules and its timeline, so the rebuild does not trip a bylaw halfway through.

Does every loss land here?

Most do, once drying has opened a wall.

Reconstruction is where a mold cut lands, and a fire room, and a storm roof, and a sewage floor. One half halts the loss; this half restores the room.

How is the figure set?

A single dollar total, fixed before work begins.

State law makes a home improvement contract name its full price up front. Nobody bills a rebuild by the hour. See the rebuild cost page for that total; the rate card holds the hourly side.

Which rebuilds do you decline?

A remodel you simply want is a remodeler’s work, not ours.

We put back what the loss took, the way it was, on the insurer’s paper. Starting from a new drawing is a different job and a different trade.

Can I use my own contractor?

Yes, and plenty of owners do. The drying card goes with you either way.

You get the readings, the photographs and the scope in writing. Whoever closes the wall works from the same file we would have used.

Who approves it at the end?

Santa Ana’s building desk signs it; we build to their code.

Permits and sign-off run through Santa Ana Building. We pull what the job needs and meet code, so the final check is quick. Ask the dispatcher what yours would run.

The cities we drive to for this work

We rebuild in Santa Ana and in the Orange County cities around it. What a house is framed and finished with changes from one of them to the next, and the page for each city spells that out.

Not a good moment to talk? Write it down and we call you.

A phone number is all we actually need. Anything else you tell us only decides which crew and which gear leave the shop.

SOS Santa Ana — contacto

A shaky handoff shows up first in the rebuild, so we keep it in one crew. Call (949) 522-4470 and we own it end to end.
