Our residential construction procedure
As a leading Orange County construction company, we make sure that all our employees are trained and skilled in a variety of construction techniques so you can be assured that your project will provide the professional results you're looking for.
Because we believe communication is the key to a great result, your construction contractor will keep you up to date on the progress of your project to help you feel confident every step of the way.
Restoration sometimes takes more than drying and cleaning. When building materials are too damaged to restore, portions of the property have to be removed and rebuilt.
1st Action Restoration provides general construction and repair services, so customers can continue from mitigation straight through to rebuilding without handing the project to a separate contractor halfway through.

Residential construction process
A restoration rebuild works best when the scope is defined before demolition starts and the customer knows what is happening at each stage.
- 01
Assess
Determine which building materials can be restored and which need to be removed.
- 02
Plan
Define the repair and reconstruction scope, including materials and finishes.
- 03
Remove
Perform the necessary controlled demolition.
- 04
Rebuild
Repair or replace the affected building components.
- 05
Finish
Complete flooring, drywall, paint, trim and other finish work as required.
- 06
Final review
Walk through the completed project with the customer.
Communication matters
Communication is essential during construction. Customers should know what work is taking place, what comes next, and how the project is progressing — without having to chase anyone for an update.
Your contractor keeps you up to date as the project moves so decisions about materials and finishes are made in time rather than under pressure.
Modern construction
Construction techniques, materials and design options continue to change. We keep current with them so a rebuild after a loss is an opportunity to improve the space, not just replace what was there.
Frequently asked questions
- Do I need a separate contractor after the mitigation work?
- No. We provide general construction and repair services, so the same team can carry the property from mitigation through reconstruction.
- Do you only do restoration rebuilds?
- No. We also handle kitchen and bathroom remodeling, flooring, drywall and general home repair projects.
- How much demolition is really necessary?
- Only what the conditions require. Assessment and moisture readings determine which materials can be dried and restored and which must be removed.

He went back and forth with our insurance company trying to get us more money. They wanted to pay us $14k initially for the hardwood floors to be sanded and stained. Tony…”
