When a fire, hailstorm, flood, or tornado hits your home, the first days are chaos — and the decisions you make in those first days shape how the whole claim goes. Wes-Tec Builders helps Denver-metro homeowners through the entire restoration: emergency response, documentation for your claim, coordination with your insurance adjuster, and a rebuild done to current code.

We've been restoring and remodeling Denver-metro homes since 1986. We're a family company, BBB A+ accredited with zero complaints filed — a record we believe no other Colorado home improvement company can match.

Emergency response: board-up and mitigation

The first job is stopping the damage from getting worse. That means emergency board-up of broken windows and openings, tarping damaged roofs, water extraction and drying after floods and fire suppression, and securing the property. Fast mitigation protects what's left of your home — and insurers expect it: failing to mitigate further damage can complicate a claim. If your home is unsafe, we help you understand what needs to happen first and what can wait.

Documenting the damage for your claim

A strong claim starts with a strong record. We photograph and document damage room by room, prepare a detailed scope of repairs with line-item estimates your adjuster can work from, and keep a paper trail of everything done — emergency work, mitigation, and rebuild. Good documentation is the difference between a claim that moves and a claim that stalls.

Working with your insurance adjuster

You don't have to argue your claim alone. We meet the adjuster on site, walk the damage together, and provide the estimates and documentation that support the scope of work. When the adjuster's scope and the actual damage don't match, we help make the case for what's really needed — including code-required upgrades, which many policies cover when the work is required by current building codes.

Rebuilding to code

Restoration isn't just putting things back — it's putting them back to current code. Electrical, plumbing, structural, and fire-safety requirements have all changed since many Denver-metro homes were built, and a rebuild that ignores code creates problems at inspection and at resale. We rebuild to code, pull permits, and schedule inspections as part of every restoration project.

Fire damage

Fire restoration goes beyond what you can see: smoke and soot travel through framing and HVAC, and water from suppression causes its own damage. Our scope covers structural assessment, smoke and odor remediation coordination, and full rebuild of damaged areas — kitchen, bath, framing, finishes — to code.

Hail damage

Denver-metro hail is a regular event, and it hits roofs, siding, windows, and outdoor structures. We document hail impact across the whole property — not just the obvious roof damage — so the claim reflects the full scope, and we rebuild with roofing and siding rated for Colorado weather.

Flood and tornado damage

Flooding means water mitigation first: extraction, drying, and assessment of what can be saved and what must be replaced. Tornado and high-wind damage means structural assessment first: roof, framing, and envelope. In both cases, the sequence matters — mitigate, document, agree the scope with the adjuster, then rebuild.

Our process

1. Emergency call and site visit — board-up, tarping, and mitigation to stop further damage.
2. Documentation and estimate — a detailed scope and estimate for your claim.
3. Adjuster coordination — we meet your adjuster on site and support the scope.
4. Rebuild to code — permits, inspections, and a finished home, not just a patched one.

If your home is damaged, don't wait — call sooner rather than later. Early mitigation protects your home and your claim.

FAQs

Should I call my insurer or a contractor first?

Call your insurer to open the claim, and call us right away for emergency mitigation — board-up and drying can't wait for paperwork. We can start protecting your home while the claim is being filed.

Will my insurance cover code upgrades?

Many policies include coverage for upgrades required by current building codes. We identify code-required work in our scope so it's part of the claim conversation.

How long does a restoration take?

It depends on the extent of the damage. Emergency mitigation happens in days. Full rebuilds run weeks to months, depending on scope, permits, and material availability.

Do you work with all insurance companies?

We work with homeowners insured by any carrier, and we coordinate with your adjuster regardless of who holds the policy.
