First Floor Restoration

BEFORE

The Challenge

A severe winter ice dam resulted in extensive interior water damage across the entire first floor of this home. With cabinetry, flooring, millwork, and electrical compromised, the homeowners needed more than repairs, they needed a reliable contractor who could coordinate with insurance, protect their investment, and restore their home’s comfort, functionality, and style.

The Approach

DRR Contracting took a hands-on approach from day one, coordinating directly with the homeowners’ insurance adjuster to ensure full and fair coverage. We guided the clients through the selection process with clear communication and expert recommendations, upgrading the space without compromising the home's original character. The goal was to blend restoration with opportunity, delivering results that honored the past while elevating the everyday experience.

Craftsmanship in Action

Performed detailed documentation of all damage for accurate insurance claims
Negotiated with the insurance company to secure complete coverage
Removed and replaced all damaged materials: drywall, trim, cabinetry, flooring
Rebuilt the kitchen with a redesigned layout, custom island, and high-end finishes
Renovated the dining room with elegant wallpaper, millwork, and lighting upgrades
Updated the family room with custom built-ins and a fireplace surround
Restored the foyer with new marble tile, stair refinishing, and a chandelier centerpiece
Managed timelines, trades, and cleanliness to minimize disruption throughout the process

The Results

The transformed first floor now features a light, cohesive aesthetic that feels both luxurious and lived-in. From the welcoming foyer to the bright, functional kitchen and beautifully styled dining space, every corner reflects DRR’s core values: craftsmanship, integrity, and long-term reliability. The homeowners now enjoy a space that not only recovers what was lost, but exceeds what was expected.
