Absolutely! More often than not, you won't notice water damage is occurring until the need for repairs has become very obvious. Signs of hidden water damage can be as simple as an unpleasant odor or slight staining on your wall or ceiling. Peeling paint, a warped wall or floor, or mold growth may also tip you off to a leak that is causing water damage. If you notice any of these subtle signs, call R. E. McClellen Construction for an inspection of your home or office.

Prices can vary depending on the severity of the fire or water damage and the amount of work involved in the fire or water restoration process.

Or do you want someone with experience and expertise guiding you so you can trust the work that is being done? Experience really does matter when it comes to something as important as the restoration and remodeling of your home.

In fact, our estimators are great at helping you with your ideas if you are unsure what is even possible.
