We will handle all of your home building and remodeling needs from start to finish, On The Spot! Mark Maltry & Josh EdgellJEMM Construction, LLC. was established by Mark Maltry and Josh Edgell with 30 years combined experience working for the areas most pronounced builders and remodelers. Our experience includes building new homes and a wide variety of remodeling projects. While we worked with other those various builders and remodelers we have acted as a sponge and absorbed the good and bad practices of each company and now have incorporated those practices into our own company. Also, we have worked to establish policies and procedures within the everyday operation of our company to ensure that what we do is done efficiently. Our full service construction team specializes in servicing each client’s specific needs, from the first stage of design to the last paint stroke. Each project is assigned a lead carpenter to oversee your remodeling investment and manage every detail “On The Spot” to ensure 100% satisfaction. We offer the most competitive pricing for remodeling and maintenance services in the area as well as a staff that is totally dedicated to your experience and well being during the process. We have established relationships with our trade partners and suppliers to ensure the lowest price while delivering quality. When you invite JEMM Construction into your home we take that invitation very seriously and treat your home as if it were our own. At JEMM Construction we’re aware of how difficult it can be to trust someone to come into your home and make sometimes drastic changes. Our staff strives to make your remodeling project a pleasant experience, not a stressful one. We would rather be invited back into your home after the project is complete to enjoy a nice dinner in celebration of your newly remodeled space instead of an invitation to fix items that were not handled properly. We employ 10 well trained and skilled individuals along with our Qualified Trade Partners for some of the work that we do. The Best part about working with JEMM is you will never know that we were there, we leave your home cleaner than we found it. Financing is Available through our Associates, please ask for further details.

Stanley Steemer has been providing cleaning and restoration services for both residential and business customers for more than 60 years. They offer multiple services, including carpet cleaning, tile and grout cleaning, hardwood floor cleaning, upholstery cleaning, air duct cleaning and water damage restoration services. For more information, visit www.stanleysteemer.com.

"The team came on time and appeared to do a decent job. They convinced me that a UV air cleansing system would be a great benefit and so I purchased at $500. The technician (Nate) told me that replacement bulbs were available from local hardware stores for around $50 and that he would go over the warranty information. He neglected to go over the warranty details which was necessary to validate. On checking with local hardware stores I couldn't find the right UV bulb and those that are available are much more than $50. So Nate was an outright liar and I will never use Stanley Steemer again, having been a customer for 10 years. They are just con men."

Full service insurance restoration company.

"I was referred to Paul Davis by my insurance company. I need work done on my home for mold and water damage. The initial consultation with a representative went fine. He came out, talked to me, took pictures, and made measurements and a video of my home. He then said that he sent the information over to their estimator and I would get an estimate in about 5 days. That is when the problems started happening. I received a call from them a few days later telling me that they talked to my insurance company and that the insurance company already had an “approved” quote, so they would not be doing anything for me. I informed them that I have not approved anything because the quote they have is too high and is much higher than the insurance companies’ maximum payout for this type of claim. That is why I reached out to them for a second opinion. I ended the conversation stating the fact that I am the customer, not the insurance company. I am ultimately responsible for paying the contractor, and am just being reimbursed by the insurance company, so please send me an estimate. 10 days later and I still do not have an estimate. I managed to get the estimator on the phone, and he refuses to work out an estimate. He kept ignoring what I had to say and had the nerve to say to me “You can believe what you want, but I am not going to waste my time working on an estimate for you”. I will acknowledge that I did yell at him on the phone at this point. His arrogance and refusal to listen to a potential customer was infuriating."

Dry rot, water or pest damage major repairs FAQs

It's impossible to prevent every instance of water damage, especially from extreme weather or river flooding. However, you can take steps to minimize the risk:

  • Inspect appliances and plumbing fixtures monthly for leaks and related issues. Ensure hoses are free from drips, and check the sealing around tubs and showers, caulking if necessary.

  • Hire a pro to inspect your home's plumbing, roof, foundation, and more each year.

  • Improve drainage around your home: Extend downspouts away from the foundation, enhance yard grading, and consider installing a sump pump to reduce flooding risks.

  • Keep gutters and downspouts clear of debris and stay on top of cleaning tasks.

  • Install leak detectors and automatic shutoff valves: These devices can alert you to leaks and prevent extensive damage.

  • Winterize your pipes to protect them from freezing temperatures, which can lead to bursting.

Homeowners insurance generally covers water damage from sudden and accidental events, like burst pipes or unexpected leaks. It typically doesn't cover damage due to neglect or poor maintenance. A home warranty covers breakages from normal wear and tear on appliances and home systems but doesn't provide structural coverage like homeowners insurance. It's essential to review your specific policy details and contact your insurance company to understand your coverage. Thoroughly documenting the damage with photos and videos can simplify the claims process and improve your chances of a favorable outcome.

A water-damaged home can take around five days to dry, though this depends on the damage. As for dedicated cleanups and repairs, it goes in phases, with water extraction taking at least three days and full restoration taking weeks or even months. Replacing drywall, plumbing fixtures, and electrical components can take a few days as well.

After water damage, you may need to replace porous items that have absorbed water and can't be thoroughly dried or sanitized. Materials like carpets, upholstered furniture, wall insulation, drywall, and other absorbent items often require replacement. Water can cause these materials to deteriorate and become breeding grounds for mold, posing health risks. It's important to assess all affected items and consult with a professional to determine what needs to be replaced to restore your home safely.

Detecting mold behind walls can be challenging, but certain signs may indicate its presence. If you notice discoloration, water stains, or peeling paint on your walls, mold could be growing underneath. A persistent musty odor is another strong indicator of hidden mold. Additionally, experiencing unexplained health issues like frequent sneezing, coughing, or eye irritation in specific rooms may signal mold growth. In such cases, it's advisable to hire a professional mold inspector to assess and address the problem promptly.
