Reconstruction after water, fire, mold and storm losses
Once the property is dry and clean, it needs to be rebuilt correctly, permitted and inspected. Firstline is a Florida Certified General Contractor, so the rebuild stays with the team that handled the emergency.

The rebuild is where most restoration jobs stall
Many restoration companies are mitigation-only. They dry or clean the property, then leave the owner to find a contractor, get new estimates and start over on scheduling. Weeks can pass with open walls and missing floors.
Firstline closes that gap. We plan the rebuild while mitigation is underway, so materials are selected and scheduled before the drying equipment comes out. Our scope follows the actual loss: what was removed, what was damaged and what code requires when it goes back in.
We manage the trades, pull the permits, schedule the inspections and keep you and your adjuster informed. Our goal is to return the property to pre-loss condition with clean, documented work that holds up to inspection.

Mitigation and rebuild without the handoff
Every handoff between contractors costs time and creates room for disagreement about scope. Firstline carries the job from the emergency through final inspection under one license and one point of contact.
Nearly 30 years of construction experience goes into how we sequence work, protect occupied spaces and document changes along the way.

Frequently asked questions
Can you rebuild if another company did the mitigation?
Yes. We review the mitigation documentation and existing conditions, verify the structure is dry, and scope the rebuild from there.
Do you pull permits?
Yes. Work that requires a permit is permitted and inspected under our Florida Certified General Contractor license.
Can you match my existing finishes?
We work to match flooring, cabinets, trim and paint as closely as available materials allow, and we discuss options with you before ordering when an exact match is not available.
Do you work with my adjuster on the rebuild scope?
Yes. We provide a detailed scope and documentation and coordinate with your adjuster. Coverage decisions are made by your carrier.
