SERVING WORCESTER & MIDDLESEX COUNTY
Maverick City Builders rebuilds homes after a water loss — drywall, flooring, cabinets, tile, trim, and full-room reconstruction once the space has been dried out. We are a licensed Massachusetts HIC and CSL general contractor, not an emergency extraction crew. Written contracts, fixed-price quotes, and estimates in 48 hours.
GET A REBUILD ESTIMATEDrywall, Insulation & Paint
We remove and replace water-damaged drywall and insulation, then tape, prime, and repaint. Once the mitigation company signs off that the framing is dry, we close the walls and ceilings back up and blend the finish into the surrounding rooms so the repair does not stand out.
Flooring & Subfloor
Water rots subfloor and delaminates hardwood, laminate, and vinyl. We tear out the damaged material down to the joists, replace the subfloor where it has failed, and install new finished flooring — hardwood, luxury vinyl plank, or tile — matched to the rest of the home.
Kitchen Cabinets & Counters
A supply-line break or a dishwasher leak can ruin base cabinets, toe kicks, and countertops. We replace the damaged cabinetry and counters, reconnect plumbing, and rebuild the connected finishes so the kitchen matches its pre-loss layout and look.
Bathroom Rebuild
After a failed shower pan, an overflowed toilet, or a burst supply line, we rebuild the bathroom with new waterproofing, tile, vanity, and fixtures. Proper substrate and waterproofing membranes go back in first so the same failure does not repeat.
Full-Room & Whole-Level Reconstruction
When a finished basement or an entire level floods, we handle the complete reconstruction — framing repair, drywall, flooring, trim, doors, and paint — returning the space to pre-loss condition. One written contract, one crew, and one point of contact from demolition to the final walk-through.
Here is the straight answer, up front. Maverick City Builders is a reconstruction contractor. We do not run emergency water-extraction trucks, we do not pump out standing water at 2 a.m., and we do not set up the drying fans and dehumidifiers. That first-response phase is called mitigation, and it belongs to a dedicated water-mitigation company. If you have an active flood or an active leak right now, your first two calls are your insurance company and a mitigation crew — not us.
Where we come in is the second half of the job: the rebuild. After the water is extracted, the wet drywall and flooring are removed, and moisture meters confirm the structure is dry, someone has to put the house back together. That is the part most homeowners are not thinking about in the first panicked days, and it is exactly what we do — drywall, insulation, subfloor, flooring, cabinets, tile, trim, doors, and paint. It is the finish carpentry and construction that turns a gutted, dried-out room back into a finished, livable space.
We are deliberate about this line because starting a rebuild too early is one of the most expensive mistakes in the whole process. If new drywall and flooring go in over framing that still holds moisture, you trap that water inside the wall assembly. Weeks later it surfaces as mold, warped boards, and peeling paint — and now the homeowner is paying to tear out brand-new finishes. We do not begin until the mitigation company confirms the structure is dry and the affected cavities read within a normal moisture range.
Because we are a fully licensed Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor (HIC) and Construction Supervisor License (CSL) holder, we pull the permits, coordinate the trades, and build the reconstruction to code — and we build it to match your insurance adjuster's documented scope of loss. That keeps the paperwork clean and the rebuild moving without surprise change orders, and it gives you one accountable contractor for the entire finished result.

Do you provide emergency water extraction or mitigation?
No. Maverick City Builders is a rebuild and reconstruction contractor, not an emergency water-extraction service. We come in after a mitigation company has pumped out the standing water and dried the structure. Once the affected area is dry and cleared, we handle the reconstruction — drywall, insulation, flooring, cabinets, tile, trim, and paint — to return the space to pre-loss condition.
Do you work with insurance on a water damage rebuild?
Yes. We build to the adjuster's scope of loss and provide a written, fixed-price estimate that lines up with it. We coordinate with your insurance company and your mitigation company so the reconstruction scope matches what has already been documented and approved. You get a single point of contact for the rebuild from the first walk-through to the final punch list.
How soon can you start the rebuild after a water loss?
We start once the space has been dried and cleared by the mitigation company and moisture readings confirm the structure is ready. Beginning reconstruction before the area is fully dry traps moisture behind new drywall and finishes, which causes mold and repeat failures down the road. We confirm the space is dry, then schedule the rebuild — most estimates are back to homeowners within 48 hours.
What does a water damage rebuild actually include?
A rebuild can include drywall and insulation replacement, subfloor and finished flooring, kitchen cabinets and countertops, bathroom tile and vanities, trim, doors, and interior paint — up to a full reconstruction of a flooded finished level. We rebuild only the scope tied to the water loss, matched to your insurance documentation, and finish it to pre-loss condition or better.
What areas do you serve for water damage rebuilds?
