THE NEXT STAGE AFTER A FIRE
From the damage to a plan for rebuilding.
Fire damage reconstruction is the permanent repair and rebuilding of affected building components after the necessary emergency response, cleanup and remediation. Metrospec Construction rebuilds residential and commercial interiors in Greater Montréal, including walls, ceilings, flooring, cabinets and finishes. A fire-related project may also involve areas affected by water used during the response or materials removed during cleanup. We help define the reconstruction scope with the property owner and, for insured losses, the insurer or adjuster. If cleanup or emergency assistance is still needed, call us: your inquiry can be directed to Metrospec Cleaning before the permanent rebuilding stage.
THE RECONSTRUCTION SCOPE
Rebuild the room. Coordinate every component.
A fire in one room can lead to a reconstruction scope involving several connected spaces. The work should account for damaged components, materials removed during cleanup and the transitions between repaired areas and the rest of the property.
02 / 06
Flooring
Replacing damaged or removed flooring and planning the transitions to adjoining rooms.
03 / 06
Cabinets & built-ins
Replacing affected cabinets and built-ins within the agreed reconstruction scope.
04 / 06
Kitchens
Coordinating walls, cabinetry, flooring and finishes in a kitchen affected by fire.
05 / 06
Bathrooms
Rebuilding affected bathroom components where damage or cleanup has required their removal.
06 / 06
Painting & finishing
Completing the surfaces, trim and finishes once the underlying reconstruction is ready.
For homes and commercial properties, the starting point is the same: identify the affected areas, agree on the work and coordinate the components that depend on one another.
FROM LOSS TO REBUILD
A defined scope. A coordinated rebuild.
STAGE 01 / 04
Confirm the preparation
Discuss the status of emergency work, cleanup and remediation, and any outstanding assessments or conditions before permanent rebuilding.
STAGE 02 / 04
Define what needs rebuilding
Identify the affected rooms and components, the materials removed and the repairs proposed. Review the reconstruction information available from the insurance file.
STAGE 03 / 04
Coordinate the decisions
Agree on materials, access, scheduling and the project scope. Clarify any required approvals and distinguish optional improvements from the insured repairs.
STAGE 04 / 04
Rebuild and review
Sequence the connected repairs and finishing work. Discuss newly discovered conditions or proposed changes, then review the completed work and remaining items.
WORKING WITH YOUR INSURANCE FILE
Clear roles. A shared understanding of the work.
A property loss brings several people into the same project. Knowing who handles each part makes the conversations about rebuilding easier.
You, the property owner
Share what happened, the spaces affected and the information you have. Discuss access, material choices and the needs of the people who live or work in the property.
Your insurer & adjuster
The insurer and adjuster assess the claim, the applicable coverage and the amounts available under the policy. Coverage decisions remain with the insurer.
Metrospec Construction
We discuss and carry out the reconstruction work within the agreed project scope, coordinating the affected building components with the parties involved.
Before authorizing permanent work, clarify the scope, budget and payment arrangements with the relevant parties. Additional improvements should be discussed separately from the insured repairs.

YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
Before the rebuild begins.
Do you provide emergency help after a fire?
Call us if you need help finding the right next step. Emergency restoration and cleanup inquiries can be directed to Metrospec Cleaning. Metrospec Construction handles the permanent rebuilding stage.
Is smoke cleanup part of reconstruction?
Smoke and soot cleanup are part of the restoration and preparation stage. Reconstruction addresses the building components that need permanent repair or replacement. Tell us which restoration work has been completed so we can discuss the remaining scope.
Can you rebuild a kitchen damaged by fire?
Kitchen reconstruction can include affected walls, ceilings, cabinets, flooring and finishes. The project scope depends on the damage, materials removed and any specialist work or approvals required.
What if water damage is also involved?
Tell us about any water-affected areas and the status of drying or remediation. Those areas may form part of the reconstruction scope alongside components damaged by the fire.
How long does fire reconstruction take?
Timing depends on the extent of the work, preparation, material availability, required approvals and conditions discovered during the project. We discuss the schedule for your actual scope rather than promise a standard completion time.
Who confirms what the insurance will pay for?
Your insurer or adjuster clarifies coverage under your policy. We discuss the reconstruction work. Confirm the scope, budget and payment arrangements with the relevant parties before authorizing permanent repairs.
