Repairs After Water Damage
Dry is not the same as finished
Mitigation ends with a dry house, not a finished one. The bottom of the drywall may be gone along a hallway. Baseboard is stacked in the garage. The vanity is out, the carpet is gone, and the kitchen’s base cabinets are sitting on the patio because their toe kicks swelled.
This is where plenty of homeowners get stuck. Someone still has to match the wall texture, find flooring that meets the next room without an obvious seam, order cabinets, and figure out whether any of it needs a permit.
In San Tan Valley that last question changed this fall. The Town’s FAQ says that beginning November 1, 2026, building plan review, permitting and inspections for projects inside town limits are handled by the Town instead of Pinal County.
The work
How the rebuild goes
- Confirm it's dryNothing gets closed in until the framing and slab read dry. If another company did the drying, we take our own readings first, because new drywall over damp studs is how mold ends up behind a finished wall.
- List the rooms with youWe go room by room through what came out and what goes back: drywall, texture, baseboard, doors, cabinets, flooring and paint. If an insurance claim is open, that list lines up with what your adjuster has already seen.
- Sort out permits earlyBefore construction starts, we work out whether the job needs a Town permit and who has to sign off on it. Exterior changes can also need your HOA's design approval, so those get raised at the start rather than halfway through.
- RebuildDrywall is hung, taped, textured to match the surrounding walls and painted. Cabinets, vanities and flooring go back in, followed by baseboard, doors and trim. If you've wanted a different floor or vanity anyway, now is the easy time to change it.
- Walk it togetherBefore the job is called done, you walk every room with us and point out anything that doesn't look right. We'd rather hear it while the crew and materials are still at your house than after everyone has left.
Cost
What changes the cost of the rebuild
Repair cost follows the tear-out. If cleanup took the bottom of one wall, the rebuild is small. If cabinets, tile and flooring that runs through half the house came out, it’s a real construction project, and material choices start to matter.
With insurance involved, your adjuster’s estimate, your deductible and any changes you choose beyond what you had all play a part. Ask your adjuster how upgrades are handled before you pick finishes. We document the damage and the repairs and keep the adjuster updated as rooms get finished.
- How much came outSquare feet of drywall, runs of baseboard, the number of cabinets and the amount of flooring. The size of the tear-out sets the size of the rebuild.
- Matching what's thereFlooring that runs continuously through several rooms may need replacing past the wet area to avoid a visible break. Discontinued tile or cabinet styles can force the same choice.
- Permits and inspectionsWork that needs a Town permit adds an application, fees and inspection visits to the schedule, so it takes longer than a like-for-like patch.
- Changes while walls are openA new flooring type, a different vanity or a changed cabinet layout is easier now than later, but anything beyond like-for-like may not be part of the claim.
San Tan Valley
Permits in San Tan Valley after November 1, 2026
San Tan Valley now handles its own building permits. Town of San Tan Valley Building Safety runs plan review, permits and inspections for projects inside town limits, at 31505 N. Schnepf Rd, Suite 101, and (623) 462-5650. Its five-step process runs from the online application and a completeness check through plan review, issuing the permit, which gets posted on site, and inspections through final. If you aren’t sure a job needs a permit, the Town’s advice on that page is to ask before you build.
Which repairs need one? The Town’s Information Bulletin 002 says work not listed as exempt in the bulletin or the adopted codes requires a permit, and that work with no building permit may still need an electrical, plumbing or mechanical one. A like-for-like water heater, same type, size and location, may be exempt. Drywall, cabinets and flooring aren’t on the bulletin’s list at all, so for that work the answer sits in the adopted codes.
Why Tri Point
What our license covers
- KB-1, explainedTri Point Services LLC is a licensed Arizona contractor (ROC 335008), classification KB-1 Dual Building Contractor, with Adam Kriloff as qualifying party. Dual means residential and commercial building, and it's why the company that dried your house can also rebuild it.
- No handoff to a strangerWhoever opened your walls already knows what came out of them and why. That knowledge doesn't get lost between companies, and you don't have to explain the damage to a new contractor.
- Updates as rooms get finishedReviewers mention steady communication and text updates. On a rebuild that means knowing what's happening this week, what's waiting on materials and what's left, without having to chase anyone for it.
“…The reconstruction work they did looks great. Adam was very knowledgeable about working with insurance, helping us to understand the process, and he did a lot of back and forth with our insurance, which we were grateful to not have to do.…”
“…I had to get dry wall work done and I couldn’t be happier with the finished product.…”
“…This company is honest. They will handle any water damage or restoration you might need and they guide you through the repair phase…”
Our plans were already with Pinal County. Who do we work with now?
Keep working with Pinal County. The Town’s FAQ says plans submitted to the County before November 1, 2026 continue with the County until completion, and questions about those projects go to Pinal County at 520-509-3555. Anything submitted on or after November 1 goes through the Town, including its inspections.
Can we choose different flooring or cabinets than we had before?
Yes, and the rebuild is the easiest time to do it. Walls are open, floors are bare, and nothing new has to be torn out to make the change. If insurance is paying for part of the work, ask your adjuster how a change from like-for-like is handled before you order anything.
What if we find mold once the walls are open?
Then it gets handled before anything is closed back in. Growth on the back of drywall or on framing is cut out or cleaned, the area is dried and checked again, and the rebuild picks up after that. The source of the water has to be fixed too, or the problem comes back. See mold removal for how that work goes.
Does our HOA have to approve the repairs?
Usually not for interior work, but check your HOA’s rules if anything outside changes. A replaced window, a different roofing material or a new exterior color is the kind of change design review looks at. Arizona law, A.R.S. 33-1817, says approval of a project’s architectural designs and plans shall not unreasonably be withheld.
How long does the rebuild take?
It depends on how much came out, whether a permit is needed and how quickly materials arrive. A single wall can move fast, while a kitchen waits on its cabinets. Once the scope is set you get a timeline, and we keep you posted by phone or text as each room moves along.
