What property owners and insurance adjusters ask most about Kowalski's reconstruction services.
Do you handle insurance-driven reconstruction after damage?
Yes. This is Kowalski's specialty — full structural rebuild after fire, water, storm, or hazmat events, billed directly to your insurance carrier. Three AZ ROC licenses (commercial, residential, electrical) mean we self-perform most of the work without subcontractor delays.
How does mortgage company coordination work?
Most insurance claims involving structural damage require mortgage company involvement — they hold the claim funds and release them in draws as work completes. Kowalski coordinates with your mortgage company on photo documentation, draw inspections, and final completion sign-off.
Can Kowalski handle commercial reconstruction projects?
Yes. Kowalski's commercial division handles office, retail, hospitality, multi-family, industrial, and government rebuild projects across Arizona. Commercial work adds layers — code compliance, occupancy coordination, business interruption, ADA — all of which we manage in-house.
What's the difference between Kowalski and a general contractor?
Most general contractors don't do restoration. Most restoration companies don't do full reconstruction. Kowalski does both — we mitigate the damage and rebuild the property as one continuous project, with one project manager and one billing relationship.
Do you pull permits and handle code compliance?
Yes. Kowalski pulls all required permits, schedules inspections, and ensures every phase of the rebuild meets current city and county codes — including upgrades required when older work is touched (electrical, HVAC, accessibility).
