When disaster strikes your home, it’s more than structural damage—it’s an emotional upheaval for your family. At Lamont Bros., we understand both the personal toll and the complex challenges you’re facing, particularly for custom and architectural homes that require specialized restoration expertise.

The insurance restoration process is often frustrating, with companies typically underestimating the true cost of properly restoring your home. Many restoration companies excel at basic repairs for standard housing but lack the expertise needed for custom homes with unique architectural elements and premium materials. Our award-winning design team not only rebuilds what was lost but advocates for you throughout the insurance process to ensure your distinctive home receives the restoration it deserves.

Let us guide you through this difficult time, restoring not just your house, but your peace of mind.

Here’s What Differentiates Lamont Brothers Insurance Restoration

Most restoration companies focus solely on basic repairs and are equipped primarily for stock housing. They often pressure clients to accept reduced scope or use lower-quality materials to fit within insufficient insurance estimates. Lamont Bros. delivers a comprehensive design-build approach specifically tailored for custom homes, restoring your residence to the same level of quality, craftsmanship, and detail that defined it before disaster struck.

While other contractors might cut corners with cheap labor and materials, our specialized expertise allows us to properly restore the distinctive elements that make your home unique. We understand that mass-produced solutions aren’t appropriate for homes with custom features and high-end finishes—which is precisely why discerning homeowners choose Lamont Bros.

 

Our Approach Includes:

  • Professional Design Services: Our in-house designers ensure architectural integrity and aesthetic quality throughout your restoration. We also offer additional interior design services that can be added to your project, creating a cohesive environment that authentically reflects who you are.
  • Premium Materials Expertise: Extensive experience sourcing and working with superior materials, custom finishes, and high-end fixtures
  • Claims Management Specialists: Dedicated team members who understand high-value insurance claims and how to document the true cost of quality restoration
  • Comprehensive Documentation: Meticulous attention to every detail of your home’s pre-loss condition to ensure complete coverage

In winter 2022, the owners of a Mt. Scott home returned from vacation to discover that a failed sprinkler system had flooded all three floors of their residence. The damage was extensive, requiring restoration of nearly the entire home from bare studs.

The Challenge: The insurance company initially offered only $230,000 for what was clearly a much larger project. Through our detailed documentation and advocacy, supported by legal counsel, we secured appropriate funding for the nearly $1 million restoration the home truly required.

The Approach: While restoring the home to its pre-loss condition, we helped the homeowners strategically incorporate upgrades to their kitchen and primary bathroom. While these upgrades are separate from the insurance claim, restoration projects are a great time to complete additional remodeling projects that improve your space.

This projected included:

  • Custom dual-tone cabinetry by Knight Cabinetry
  • Premium quartz countertops by MSI Surfaces
  • A designer chandelier from Visual Comfort & Co.
  • A 59″ acrylic soaking tub in the primary bathroom

The Result: A space that not only restored what was lost but enhanced the client’s living experience through strategic upgrades.
