Water, Fire and Storm Damage Restoration in Cape Coral, Florida

Putting a damaged property back is a construction job with a paperwork job attached. We do both, and we document the damage the way an adjuster needs to see it.

Limited time offer 4 point home inspection or wind mitigation with any new roof See what is included

Remediation

Damage often goes deeper than what you can see

Water travels behind walls and under flooring. Smoke and soot reach materials well beyond the area that burned. A storm can damage several parts of a house at once, and it sometimes leaves an opening that lets more water in while you are still dealing with the first problem.

So we begin with a careful inspection and a thorough written record of the affected areas. The aim is to find the full extent of the damage, deal with the conditions properly, and prepare the house for the repairs that will restore it safely.

LMS Construction & Roofing is a Florida-licensed roofing and residential contractor serving Cape Coral and communities throughout Southwest Florida. Our license numbers, CCC 1335152 and CRC 1334301, are published on every page of this site and can be verified with the State of Florida.

What we do

Damage we address

  • Water damage

    Burst supply lines, plumbing failures, roof leaks and storm-driven water intrusion. We identify the affected materials, remove what has to come out, and get the moisture under control before any repair or finish work begins.

  • Fire and smoke damage

    Fire damage reaches well past the part that visibly burned. We deal with the damaged building materials and the structural repairs, and with the areas holding smoke and soot, before anything is rebuilt.

  • Storm damage

    High wind, wind-driven rain, falling debris, and impact to the roof and the exterior of the house. We address the interior water damage that follows as part of the same project rather than leaving it to somebody else.

  • Documenting the loss

    Photographs, measurements, moisture readings and a detailed written scope, recorded while the conditions are still there to record. That is the clear record of what was found and what is required to repair the property properly.

Straight answers

Questions people ask after property damage

Every loss is different. If your question is not answered here, call us. We will listen to what happened and give you a straightforward answer.

What kinds of damage do you repair?

We repair water, fire, smoke and storm damage in houses, rental properties and second homes. Depending on the loss that can include roofing, structural repairs, drywall, flooring, cabinetry, trim, painting and other finish work. Call us at 239-414-9100, describe what happened, and we will tell you honestly whether it is work we handle.

What should I do first when water gets in?

Make sure everyone is safe, then stop the source of the water if you can do so without putting yourself at risk. If water is near electrical wiring, ceiling fixtures, outlets, or the electrical panel, stay out of the affected area and contact the appropriate emergency service or utility.

Take photographs and video before moving or discarding damaged materials, provided doing so is safe and does not delay necessary emergency action. Then contact us so we can assess the damage and help prevent it from spreading.

Do you work with my insurance company?

Yes, but strictly in our role as your contractor. We inspect and document the damage, take photographs and measurements, and prepare a detailed repair scope and estimate. We can also answer questions from the carrier about our scope, pricing, and repair methods.

More than 14 years of insurance-adjusting experience informs how thoroughly we document and estimate the work. However, LMS does not interpret your policy, negotiate your claim, or act as your public adjuster. Coverage decisions remain between you and your insurance company.

How quickly can you get here?

Call 239-414-9100 and we will give you an honest assessment of our current availability and when we can be there. We do not promise arrival times we cannot keep. Calls received outside normal business hours may be returned the following business day. If water is actively flowing, or the property presents an immediate fire, electrical or structural hazard, address that emergency first by contacting the appropriate utility, emergency service or tradesperson.

Can you repair the roof as part of the project?

Yes. When roof damage is part of the loss, we handle both the roof and the interior repairs that follow. Because we hold a Florida roofing contractor license and a residential contractor license, one contractor is responsible for coordinating the work rather than two companies pointing at each other.

Can you work on a rental property or a home I do not occupy?

Yes. Rental properties, seasonal residences and second homes are a regular part of this work. We can coordinate access and keep owners informed with photographs and progress updates when they are not able to be at the property.

How much will the repair cost?

It depends on how far the damage traveled, which materials were affected, and what has to be removed before rebuilding can begin. We inspect the property, develop a written scope, and prepare an estimate based on the work actually required rather than a guess made from the curb.

Where insurance is involved, our documentation is prepared to support the scope, the methods and the pricing needed to complete the repairs properly.

Do you work in my area?

Our primary service area is Cape Coral and the communities throughout Southwest Florida. On some projects we also travel to other parts of the state, north through the Daytona Beach area. Availability outside Southwest Florida depends on the location and the scope of the work.

Call 239-414-9100 with the property address and a short description of the project and we will let you know whether we can help.
