Disaster Restoration
Turn tragedy into Luxury...
Experiencing a home disaster is undeniably one of life’s most stressful chapters, but with the right partner, it can also become a rare opportunity for transformation. At AR: Construct - Roof - Restore, we specialize in turning the misfortune of property damage into a blessing in disguise by helping you leverage insurance claims as a foundation for high-end upgrades. Instead of simply patching up the past, we work with you to modernize your floor plan and install the luxury finishes you’ve always wanted. By navigating the complexities of the restoration process with award-winning precision, we ensure that your home emerges from the ruins not just restored, but reimagined into a space that is even more beautiful and functional than it was before the disaster.
Hail and Wind Damage
When Texas storms strike, hail and wind damage can do more than just dent your shingles—they can compromise the structural integrity of your entire home. As an Owens Corning Preferred Roofing Contractor, AR offers more than a simple repair; we provide a complete rethinking of your home’s protective exterior. By utilizing the total protection roofing system and elite materials designed for high-impact resistance, we turn a storm-damaged roof into an opportunity to upgrade your home’s curb appeal and long-term durability. We don't just restore what was there; we engineer a superior defense system for your home, ensuring your peace of mind is as reinforced as your new roof. This comprehensive approach is our commitment to Disaster Restoration, ensuring we provide quality service and support for all your needs.
Water Damage
Water damage restoration happens in two phases, and we handle the second one. A mitigation company comes in first to extract the water, dry the structure, and clear it for reconstruction. Then we put the house back together — drywall, texture, paint, cabinetry, flooring, trim, and finishes. That division matters more than most homeowners realize, because the company that dries your house is rarely the one you want rebuilding it. We are an award-winning remodeler first, so the rebuild is where our work shows. Whether it was a burst pipe or local flooding, we treat the reconstruction as a chance to upgrade materials and modernize the layout, so the restored space comes back better than what was there before.
Fire Damage
Fire restoration happens in two phases, and we handle the second one. A remediation company does the cleanup first — soot removal, smoke and odor treatment, and clearing the structure so it is safe to rebuild. Once that work is complete and signed off, we take over the buildback: framing, drywall, cabinetry, flooring, trim, paint, and finishes. A fire is a tragic loss, but the rebuild is also a rare chance to get the house you actually wanted. We bring an award-winning remodeling background to the phase most contractors treat as box-checking — which is how a damaged house becomes a blessing in disguise rather than just a repaired one.
Flood Damage
Flooding brings the same two-phase reality as any water loss, with more of it. A mitigation company handles the initial cleanup — extraction, drying, and clearing contaminants — and once the structure is dried and released, we rebuild. That is the phase we are built for. We use the moment to help you rethink the space rather than just replace what washed out: flood-resilient materials, smarter layouts, and finishes chosen to hold up if it ever happens again. Our award-winning team turns a landscape of flood damage into a masterclass in resilient, luxury design.

Ivan was the estimator who came out to perform the survey of our house and write up the estimate. He arrived exactly at our appointment time and went over everything that I needed to have remodeled and repaired in our kitchen and bathroom.
From there, we met at their business to discuss the finer details of the estimate. We picked out flooring, cabinets, and countertops for the kitchen as well as discussed some of our additional options that were available. We received a written copy of the estimate for my wife and I to discuss over the weekend.
Afterwards, I was in regular contact with Ivan via email and text. He was extremely gracious in answering any questions I had and recommending the right services that I needed for our kitchen and bathroom.
I highly recommend this company to anyone who needs remodeling or renovations. Their professionalism and constant communication made the entire experience easy. Hopefully we can do business together again soon!
Thanks guys!
My son shared with me that he has used AR for quite a bit of major remodeling in his house and was quite pleased with them. I called them and Adam called the next morning. He promised that he would get a plumber to work on the shower. They showed up the next morning. They came up with the solution and promised to return the next morning after acquiring the needed parts, came the next morning and by mid afternoon, the shower was as good as new.
In the meantime, I had mentioned to Adam that our AC had failed. He volunteered to look into it. The next morning, Adam called with a quote and supplier who could get the equipment and have his crew our 1st thing the next morning. They showed up and by mid-afternoon, the house was comfortably cool.
Another thing I want to add, that everyone Adam sent to us, was courteous, knowledgeable and neat. Not only was the job done and done well, but the house was as clean and neat as it was before they came, (if not neater).
So in the time from initial contact with Adam on Tuesday to mid-afternoon on Friday, our house was back in tip-top shape. Our guests arrived on Sunday and we had a wonderful, cool, comfortable 3 days with them.
If I could give AR 6 or 10 stars instead of 5, I would.

Disaster Restoration in San Antonio: What to Do First
Where we fit. Restoration happens in two phases. A mitigation or remediation company comes first — they extract water, dry the structure, remove soot and smoke, and clear the house so it is safe to rebuild. We are the second phase. We put the house back together, and we do it as an award-winning remodeler rather than a repair crew. If you are not sure who to call first, call us at (210) 504-5670 and we will point you to the right people.
One thing to know about timing. We are not a 24-hour emergency service. If you have an active fire, a gas leak, or water pouring in at 2am, call 911, your utility, or a plumber first.
If you have damage right now: stop the source if it is safe to do so, don't throw anything away, and photograph everything before you touch it. Documentation is what your claim is built on.
1. Assessment. Once mitigation is underway or complete, we walk the property and scope the rebuild.
2. Damage documentation. We photograph and document the full extent of the loss, including damage that is not visible from the room — behind walls, under flooring, in the attic. This is the part most homeowners under-document and later regret.
3. Insurance claim support. We work with insurance claims constantly. We prepare the documentation your carrier needs, meet your adjuster at the property, and speak the language of scope and line items so that what gets approved actually reflects what was lost.
4. Reconstruction — and the upgrade conversation. Framing, drywall, texture, paint, cabinetry, flooring, trim, and finishes. Your policy restores what was there. This is the moment where, if you have been wanting a different layout or better finishes, the incremental cost of getting them is the smallest it will ever be, because the walls are already open and the trades are already scheduled.
5. Final walkthrough. Punch list completed and documentation delivered for your records. All reconstruction work is backed by a 2-year workmanship warranty.
Most storm losses start at the roof. If yours did, our roof repair services in San Antonio can stop the leak, and our Premium Roofing team handles full replacement when the damage warrants it.
Disaster Restoration in San Antonio: FAQs
Do you do the water extraction, drying, and smoke cleanup?
No. That first phase is mitigation and remediation, and it is a different trade with different licensing and equipment. A mitigation company dries and clears the structure. We handle everything after that — the buildback that turns a stripped, dried-out house back into a home. If you are early in the process and don’t know who to call, ring us at (210) 504-5670 and we will point you to the right people.
Do you work directly with insurance companies?
Yes. Insurance claim support is a core part of what we do. We document the loss, prepare the scope for the reconstruction, and can meet your adjuster on site. You still own the claim and the relationship with your carrier — we make sure the damage is accurately represented.
Who chooses the contractor — me or my insurance company?
You do. Your carrier may suggest a contractor from a preferred vendor list, but the decision about who performs the work on your home is yours.
How fast can you respond?
We schedule restoration work during business hours and move as quickly as we can get a crew out. We are not a 24-hour emergency service and we do not take overnight fire or flood calls. For an active emergency, call 911 or your utility first — then call us and we will take it from there.
Will my deductible be my only out-of-pocket cost?
For like-for-like restoration, typically your deductible plus any non-covered items. If you choose to upgrade finishes or change the layout beyond what existed, that difference is out of pocket — and we quote it separately and clearly so you always know which dollars are insurance and which are yours.
Can I really upgrade during a restoration?
Yes, and it is one of the main reasons clients come to us. Since the walls are already open and the trades are already scheduled, changes that would be expensive as a standalone remodel are dramatically cheaper folded into a rebuild.
Do you handle mold remediation?
No, and you should be careful with any contractor who says they do both. Mold remediation is licensed separately in Texas and should be performed by a licensed remediation contractor. Once they have cleared the space, we handle the buildback — and that reconstruction carries our 2-year workmanship warranty.
Do you warranty the reconstruction work?
Yes. All reconstruction we perform as part of a disaster restoration in San Antonio is backed by a 2-year workmanship warranty, the same warranty that covers our remodeling work.
What areas do you serve?
We are headquartered in San Antonio and serve the surrounding communities, including Stone Oak, Alamo Heights, Boerne, Helotes, New Braunfels, Schertz, Fair Oaks Ranch, Bulverde, and Spring Branch.
