Water, Fire & Storm Restoration


Property damage rarely stays limited to where it first appears. A roof leak can spread into insulation, ceilings, walls, flooring, and electrical areas. A plumbing failure can affect cabinetry, drywall, trim, and adjoining rooms. Fire can leave behind smoke residue, damaged finishes, and areas that require reconstruction before the building can return to normal use. T&J General Contracting looks beyond the most obvious signs of damage to help determine which areas and systems need attention.


Our restoration services include water damage restoration, fire and smoke damage repair, storm damage recovery, mold remediation, structural repairs, and content cleaning and restoration. Depending on the circumstances, repairs may also involve roofing, gutters, windows and doors, electrical systems, plumbing, flooring, walls, or interior finishes. Coordinating these connected services can make the recovery process easier than managing several separate contractors.


Northwest Indiana weather brings its own challenges. Heavy rain, strong winds, snow, ice, rapid temperature changes, and seasonal storms can expose weaknesses in roofs, drainage systems, exterior openings, and building materials. When damage occurs, identifying the source and addressing affected areas promptly can help limit additional deterioration and create a more effective restoration plan.

Coordinated Property Recovery


Every damage restoration project requires a different strategy. Water intrusion may affect materials beyond the original leak or plumbing problem. Storm damage can involve roofing, gutters, windows, exterior components, and interior ceilings at the same time. Fire recovery may require cleaning, reconstruction, electrical work, plumbing repairs, drywall replacement, flooring, and new finishes. Mold concerns often need to be addressed together with the moisture condition that contributed to the problem.


T&J General Contracting helps organize these moving parts by evaluating the damaged areas and considering how one repair may affect another. A restoration project involving several rooms or systems needs to be completed in the right sequence. Correcting the source of water intrusion, for example, should come before replacing damaged finishes. Structural concerns also need to be addressed before cosmetic rebuilding can move forward.



We can also assist customers with insurance paperwork for applicable restoration projects. Property damage already creates enough disruption without having to navigate repair planning alone. Our goal is to clearly outline the necessary work, coordinate the appropriate trades, and help homeowners and businesses understand how the restoration process will move forward..

Restoration for Homes & Businesses


T&J General Contracting provides damage restoration for residential and commercial properties throughout Northwest Indiana. Homeowners may need help after burst pipes, roof leaks, heavy storms, fire, smoke, hidden moisture, or structural damage. Commercial properties may face many of the same problems while also needing repairs planned around employees, customers, operating hours, or access to important areas of the building.


Our broader contracting capabilities allow restoration work to go beyond temporary or surface-level repairs. When a storm damages both roofing and interior areas, we can coordinate the related work. If a plumbing problem affects flooring, drywall, cabinetry, or electrical components, those repairs can be addressed as part of a larger recovery plan. Damage involving windows, doors, gutters, structural areas, or interior finishes can also be incorporated into the project.


This approach creates better continuity from damage assessment through repair and rebuilding. Rather than addressing one visible symptom while overlooking related concerns, we work toward restoring the property's function as a whole. For Northwest Indiana homes and businesses, that can mean repairing exterior protection, correcting damaged systems, rebuilding affected rooms, and completing the finishes needed to make the space usable again.
