After the water is gone, your Yonkers home still needs its walls back. Westchester Home Improvements handles the rebuild phase of flood and water damage: new drywall, taping and finishing, texture, primer, paint and trim. We start once a water mitigation company has removed the water and dried the structure.
Flood and water damage rebuild in Yonkers, NY
Yonkers has a wide range of housing, from older single-family homes to two- and multi-family buildings, and the Saw Mill River runs through the city. When basements and lower floors take on water, the finished walls and ceilings need to come out, dry out, and be rebuilt properly.
Rebuild only, by design. We do not perform water extraction, structural drying or mold remediation. If your home is still wet, call a water mitigation company first and call us when they confirm it is dry.
Common rebuild jobs in Yonkers
- Finished basements and lower-level apartments with drywall removed.

Frequently asked questions
Can you rebuild a basement or lower-level apartment in Yonkers after flooding?
Yes, once the space has been dried by a mitigation company. We replace the drywall, tape and finish it, prime and paint, and reinstall trim, then walk through the finished work with you.
