water damage

From water damage to dream kitchen!

This kitchen was remodeled by us after taking some serious water damage. A “water loss” is what your insurance company calls it when water destroys a part of your home. It can come in through a leaky roof or from a busted pipe and if it isn’t caught, it can unfortunately ruin large areas of your home.

This is why homeowner’s insurance is so crucial. Your insurance company will send in a mitigation team to dry out the area that was effected and from there, you can work with an experienced builder to begin repairs.

In this home, we worked with the homeowners to to not just bring their kitchen back, but to help make it a kitchen they will love for years to come. Here, we started from the ground up - selecting flooring and trim with the homeowner, then counters and cabinets, like the gorgeous cabinet set around the refrigerator! Speaking of refrigerators, we then helped them with appliances and finally the sink, faucet and backsplash!

Working on the interior design with the homeowners is the best way to not just give back your space and quality of life, it’s the best way to improve it and turn a home nightmare into a dream kitchen!

Saving Money Might Cost You When it Comes to the "Handyman"

Think you might save money with a handy man? Think again. The photos here show how a handy man drilled through a PVC pipe while installing cabinets for a homeowner.
As a family man, I can appreciate trying to find ways to save money, but cutting corners in home remodeling often ends in disaster. The truth is that a 10 cent screw, when misplaced, can lead to thousands of dollars of damage. You can’t afford to not hire a professional.
Take a look at the damage done in these photos. Luckily, the homeowner has Servicemaster Absolute Home & Restoration Services and my business in their corner now.
Whether you use Zischke Builders or another professional service, please hire a professional. If you would like to start a remodeling project, call (517) 242-4353 and I’ll come give you a free estimate.

A Kitchen Saved From Frozen Pipes

When a pipe burst this winter, it ruined this kitchen. Everything down to the very studs had to be removed. It’s an unfortunate danger of cold climates and I wish people didn’t have to face it. When they do - they need professionals to make things right and restore order to their home. That’s where my team and the great people at Servicemaster Absolute Home & Restoration Services come in.

Once the damage was mitigated by Service Master’s team, my team was able to come in, work with the homeowner on their ideal kitchen redesign and make it happen.

With very little hassle, we were able to install new cabinets, counters, floors, trim and drywall with fresh paint.

I’m proud of the work we did here (look at the before photos) and proud to work in a business where we can help people get back to their lives after disaster strikes.
