Houston Commercial & Multifamily Storm Restoration

This page is for the person responsible for a commercial building or an apartment community in Greater Houston, not for a kitchen remodel. You might manage a garden-style complex in the Energy Corridor, a mid-rise near Westchase, a small retail front on Richmond, or an HOA clubhouse. The work is emergency storm and water damage: openings, roofs, extraction, drying, and the repair that follows. Planned tenant improvements are a different conversation.

We have done house work in Houston since 1993, and the same family company takes the building calls. We are not a national mitigation brand and we do not claim a certification or a preferred-vendor agreement with any insurer. You hire us. The insurer decides the claim. If you need a crew that will also rebuild drywall and roofing after the dry-out, that is the point of keeping one team.

Hurricane season runs June 1 through November 30. A Gulf storm can open a low-slope roof over a top-floor corridor and a pitched roof over a clubhouse on the same property. Hail finds the older cap sheet and the residential-style roofs on garden apartments from Katy to Pearland. Straight-line wind takes gutters, screens, and storefront glass. A tornado is less common and more violent. We treat each opening as its own fact: photograph it, cover it when safe, and list the units underneath.

Flat and low-slope roofs do not shed a loose tarp the way a house roof does. Water ponds. We anchor for that, or we say the roof is not safe to cover yet. Board-up is the wall and the glass. Tarping is the roof. A limb can require both. We link those services instead of pretending one word covers the building.

Apartment water losses are often a supply line, a water heater, a washing machine, or an overflow on an upper floor that comes through the ceiling below. Commercial losses add roof drains, a broken domestic line in a wall, and water that entered at the door during a street flood. Those are different causes. Rising water from a bayou or a reservoir release is often a flood policy, not the building's property policy. We will not rename it. Check the policies. We document where the water entered and how far it went.

Houston humidity and concrete slabs slow drying. A corridor that looks dry can still hold moisture in the gypsum and the insulation. We use meters, and where the building calls for it the same moisture mapping we use in houses, including thermal imaging when it will show a path the eye cannot. Extraction, air movers, and dehumidifiers stay until the readings support closing the wall. Then we repair drywall, flooring, and the finishes you hire. We do not promise a mold-free building. We dry what we can reach and we say what we could not open.

There is no flat rate for a complex. The number follows how many openings, how much roof, how many units are wet, the height, and whether we can work while people live there. As a planning range, not a quote, boarding a ground-floor storefront opening often falls in the same band as a house board-up, a few hundred dollars to about $1,500 for a straightforward opening, and more for a glass line. Drying one apartment often plans in the low thousands to well above that if the water crossed floors. A roof tarp or a partial roof repair is its own number. We will not give you a building-wide figure from a phone description.

What we will do is separate mitigation from rebuild, and separate our invoice from the claim. Some policies pay for reasonable steps that limit further damage. Some delay, and some deny. We do not front a story about payment. A manager can call (713) 909-0034, text that number, or use the emergency form for a call back. None of those is a guaranteed arrival time in a citywide storm, when many roofs open at once.

We help with photos, a unit-by-unit moisture note, emergency mitigation, a meeting with the adjuster on site, and a detailed repair estimate. We work with you through the repair. We are not public adjusters, we do not give legal advice, and we do not promise approval or a payout. Hurricane, hail, wind, tornado, and flood are different events, and a building may carry more than one policy. Check them. The photo log on this site is built for a house, room by room. A manager can still use the same habits: wide shot, close shot, date, location.
