After Water or Fire Damage

Reconstruction & Build-Back

Drying out a house is only half the job. We put it back together too: drywall, texture, paint, flooring, cabinets and trim. One crew and one point of contact, from the day of the loss until the rooms are finished.

Stars and Bars Restoration rebuilds homes and businesses after water, fire, smoke and mold damage across Southern Colorado, including Pueblo, Colorado Springs, Cañon City, Trinidad, Walsenburg, Westcliffe and the Greenhorn Valley. Because we also do the mitigation, we know exactly what came out and what has to go back, and we write the rebuild in Xactimate so it lines up with your insurance claim. Call (719) 676-2456.

One Company From Loss to Finished Rooms

When one company dries the house and a different one rebuilds it, homeowners end up in the middle: comparing two estimates, chasing two schedules, and explaining the claim twice. We handle both, so the crew that tore out your drywall is the crew that puts it back.

What We Rebuild

• Drywall, texture matching and paint • Flooring: laminate, LVP, tile and carpet (carpet installation and re-stretching is done by a trusted subcontractor we manage) • Baseboard, trim and doors • Cabinets and countertops after kitchen and bath water losses • Insulation and vapor barrier • Smoke-damaged framing that has been cleaned and sealed after a fire

How Build-Back Works With Insurance

We write the repair estimate in Xactimate, the same software most adjusters use, so line items can be compared side by side. You choose your finishes. If your carrier approves the scope, we bill them directly and you pay your deductible. We're upfront about what's in scope and what isn't. If you want upgrades beyond like-for-like, we price them separately so there are no surprises.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you put everything back the way it was?

Yes. That's the goal of every rebuild: drywall, paint, flooring, trim and cabinets back to pre-loss condition. Some specialty trades like carpet stretching are done by subcontractors we manage, so you still deal with one company.

Do I have to use the restoration company for the rebuild?

No, you can choose any contractor. Most customers keep us because we already know the scope and the claim, and it saves weeks of rebidding.

How long does reconstruction take?

A single room is often one to two weeks once materials arrive. Larger water or fire losses can take several weeks. We give you a written schedule before work starts.

Can I upgrade materials during the rebuild?

Yes. Insurance pays for like-for-like. You can pay the difference for upgrades, and we price those separately and in writing.

Do you do rebuilds that aren't insurance claims?

Yes. We give straight cash estimates for repairs that aren't going through insurance.
