How we work

How PRC restores Fort Worth houses

Emergencies get stabilized the same day. Permanent work waits until we know what the house actually did. The model — document, scope, build — is on About.

This is the job order. Why we work this way, and how it differs from a volume vendor, is on About. If the house is open or still taking on water, call first. The form is for details after the building is stable. Text photos to us.

Protect. Reveal. Construct.

  • Protect

    Secure the property. Board-up, extract, tarp. Stop further damage.

  • Reveal

    Document the building. Readings, photos, opened assemblies. The file the scope is written from.

  • Construct

    Rebuild from that condition — not from a rushed first estimate.

  1. 01 Stabilize

    Board-up, pull the water, set drying equipment, tarp the roof. Same day when the house is open, wet, or unsafe. Stabilize before anyone writes a rebuild.

  2. 02 Document

    Photos, moisture readings, framing notes. What’s wet, what’s burned, what’s actually broken. That file is what the scope is written from.

  3. 03 Scope

    The repair list follows the house — quantities, materials, drying logs, the published restoration process. You get the project file at handoff.

  4. 04 Rebuild

    Permanent work starts when the assembly is dry enough and the structure is known. Then we schedule it and build from those notes.

  5. 05 Verify

    Final walkthrough, punch list, project file, owner handoff. The paper matches the house.

What each step looks like on a real job

Stabilize. When a bedroom ceiling came down, we took out what fell and opened what failed before anything else. See bedroom ceiling failure.

Document. On a hall bath, the meter under the vanity read 64.5, which is how we knew the cabinet was wet. See bathroom cabinet drying. Behind a kitchen ceiling, the thermal camera showed where moisture was still sitting. See ceiling opened to dry.

Scope. A two-story house opened to the framing is where the rebuild list gets written. See house opened to framing.

Rebuild and verify. Permanent work starts when the structure is dry enough. Our reconstruction page covers it, and all projects shows more jobs.

Drying does not run on a calendar

We dry until the readings say dry, then we hang. That is why a drying job on our water damage and drying page comes with daily checks, and why our post on documenting water damage before cleanup asks you to take pictures first. If it is happening now, contact us.
