During a summer storm, an entire tree came down on this North Plainfield home. It crushed the sunroom, broke the roof, and destroyed the siding — and because the storm brought heavy rain, water poured into the house through every opening. This is how we brought it back.
Step 1 — Mitigating the damage
With a home this exposed, the first job isn't rebuilding — it's stopping the loss. Our crew removed the tree in controlled sections and went straight to the water: extracting it, tracking it with moisture readings wall by wall, and documenting every point of damage with photos. That documentation matters — it's what makes the homeowner's insurance claim easier to review and approve.
Step 2 — Protecting the home
Then we sealed the damaged side of the house under secured tarps — covering the broken sunroom, roof, and wall so no more weather could get in while the restoration was prepared.
Step 3 — The full restoration
After some weeks of waiting, the rebuild began — and this one covered almost the entire home: a complete new roof system, the sunroom rebuilt from the framing up with new windows, all-new siding across the house, and the interior restored where the water had been — new walls, new floors.
