How Red Truck Helps with Full-Service Reconstruction

When disaster strikes your home, the first step is often mitigation: stopping the damage from spreading. But what comes next—reconstruction—is what turns a damaged property back into a livable home or place of business. At Red Truck Disaster Response, we don’t just stop at cleaning up the mess. We help our clients rebuild, restore, and return to normal life. In fact, we were voted Idaho’s Best Reconstruction Contractor for the Treasure Valley in 2025, and for good reason.

What Does Reconstruction Involve?

Reconstruction typically follows emergency services such as water extraction, drying, fire/smoke remediation, or mold removal. Once your property is safe and dry, our team gets to work on rebuilding what was lost.

The reconstruction process usually includes:

• Structural repairs
• Drywall replacement and painting
• Flooring removal and installation
• Trim and finish work
• Insulation replacement
• Roofing or siding repairs (as needed)
• Cabinetry and countertop replacement
• Content handling, storage, and delivery.
• And much more, depending on the scope of the damage

We serve as a licensed general contractor, which means we can coordinate the full range of trades and services needed to complete your reconstruction job from start to finish. That includes bringing in trusted subcontractors and managing the schedule, permitting, inspections, and all the tiny details most homeowners don’t want to deal with during a stressful time.

Your Advocate Through the Insurance Process

One of the most frustrating aspects of disaster recovery is dealing with insurance. Our clients tell us how overwhelming it feels to navigate approvals, estimates, documentation, and inspections. That’s where we come in. At Red Truck, we often work directly with your insurance company to streamline approvals and clarify the scope of repairs.

We typically provide:

• Itemized estimates using industry-standard software (Xactimate)
• Pre- and post-mitigation documentation
• Communication and negotiation with your adjuster
• Photo reports and invoice transparency
• Regular updates so you’re never left in the dark

Our team handles this process every day—so we know what language to use and what documentation your insurer is likely to request. This helps reduce delays and ensure that your repairs are completed as quickly and completely as possible.

Contents Handling & Temporary Storage

Reconstruction often involves more than just putting up drywall or replacing flooring. It usually requires temporarily moving your furniture, electronics, and personal belongings out of the affected areas—or even offsite altogether. We offer full-service contents handling, usually including:

• Professional packing and inventory
• Climate-controlled storage (when needed)
• PODS and container delivery coordination
• Return delivery and placement when the work is done

We handle your belongings with care, just as if they were our own. That means your items are protected during every step of the reconstruction process—and you don’t have to lift a finger.

Additional Services to Keep You Comfortable

While some restoration companies stop at structural repairs, Red Truck goes further. When needed, we can also help coordinate:

• Temporary housing options if your home is uninhabitable
• Cleanup of construction dust and debris
• Post-construction deep cleaning
• Air duct cleaning and deodorization
• Carpet and upholstery cleaning

Every situation is different, and while not all of these services are required for every job, we’re proud to offer a customized, full-service approach that gives each family or property owner the support they need to move forward with confidence.

Working With Care and Compassion

We never forget that behind every job is a person or family who has been through a traumatic experience. Whether the damage was caused by a kitchen fire, a burst pipe, storm flooding, or a serious mold issue, our team treats every customer with empathy and care.

You’ll often find our crew going above and beyond—carrying boxes, helping families access essentials, or checking in long after the last nail is hammered. That kind of support isn’t in our contracts. It’s just part of who we are.

Why Our Clients Choose Red Truck

Most people don’t think about reconstruction services until they absolutely need them. And when they do, they want a contractor who can handle the job without hassle, headaches, or holdups. Our clients frequently say they chose Red Truck because we:

• Responded quickly and clearly when they first called.
• Took the time to explain the process and their options.
• Coordinated everything so they didn’t have to.
• Communicated regularly and professionally throughout the job.
• Delivered beautiful results—and peace of mind.
