Insurance Restoration Expertise

Insurance-funded restoration requires specialized expertise in working with insurers, adjusters, and consultants to navigate the claims process while delivering quality reconstruction. Eurohouse Construction brings 16+ years of experience managing fire and water loss projects, from initial damage assessment and emergency mitigation through full reconstruction and final sign-off — with the technical depth to restore the high-end finishes, custom millwork, natural stone, and architectural detail that luxury North Shore and Whistler homes require.

We handle the full damage spectrum: fire and smoke damage, water damage from burst pipes, appliance failure, weather and flood, mould remediation, sewage backup, wind and tree damage, strata water damage, and structural damage from combined causes — as one licensed general contractor rather than handing off to a separate rebuild contractor partway through.

  • Use of premium materials and qualified trades
  • Proper attention to architectural and structural detail

Insurance-assigned contractors often focus on speed and cost minimization. Eurohouse focuses on proper restoration and long-term property value protection — particularly important for luxury, architect-designed, and heritage residences.

How the Insurance Restoration Process Works

Eurohouse maintains full project control from initial damage assessment through final completion. Six phases, one licensed GC throughout:

  1. 1 Site Assessment and Scope Review. A thorough damage assessment and a detailed reconstruction scope developed before pricing. We walk the loss with you and document every affected system.
  2. 2 Coordination with Adjusters and Consultants. We work directly with your insurer, adjusters, and any required engineers or environmental consultants. Xactimate-fluent, scope-of-loss documentation, and clean line-item pricing.
  3. 3 Detailed Reconstruction Planning. Construction documents, material specifications, and scheduling developed to meet both insurance scope and BC Building Code requirements. Permits and engineering coordinated.
  4. 4 Structural and Envelope Reconstruction. Framing, structural systems, roofing, and building envelope rebuilt to code and beyond. Hidden damage (subfloor rot, framing decay) addressed before finishes go back in.
  5. 5 Interior Reconstruction and Finishing. All interior systems, finishes, fixtures, and architectural details restored — or upgraded with homeowner-funded betterment. Custom millwork, natural stone, European systems all handled in-house.
  6. 6 Final Completion and Quality Verification. Final inspections, quality assurance, claim-closure documentation, and handover. Pacific Home Warranty coverage applies on qualifying scopes.

Frequently Asked Questions — Insurance Restoration

Can I choose my own insurance restoration contractor in BC?

Yes. In British Columbia, homeowners are not obligated to use the contractor recommended by their insurance company. You have the right to engage your own licensed general contractor to perform the reconstruction. Choosing Eurohouse ensures independent representation of your interests, reconstruction to pre-loss or higher quality standards, and the use of premium materials and qualified trades — rather than the speed-and-cost optimization that often characterizes insurer-assigned contractors.

Does Eurohouse work directly with insurance adjusters and consultants?

Yes. Eurohouse coordinates directly with all major Canadian insurers, independent adjusters, and restoration consultants — including Crawford, ClaimsPro, Cunningham Lindsey, SCM, Granite Claims, MBC Group, and others. We speak the trade — Xactimate, scope of loss, depreciation, RCV vs ACV, trade-line pricing — and we provide the documentation, photographs, and cost breakdowns claims require.

What types of insurance damage does Eurohouse restore?

Fire and smoke damage, water damage (burst pipes, appliance failure, weather, flood), mould remediation, sewage backup, wind and tree damage, and structural damage from a combination of causes. We handle the entire sequence — emergency response, containment, controlled demolition, structural drying, and full rebuild — as one licensed general contractor rather than handing the project to a separate rebuild contractor partway through.

Is Eurohouse certified and insured for insurance restoration work?

Eurohouse Construction Inc. is a licensed general contractor in BC since 2009, Pacific Home Warranty certified, WorkSafeBC registered, and carries $5M general liability insurance. For strata water damage work, we hold a minimum $2M certificate with the strata corporation named as additional insured on every project.

How long does insurance restoration take?

Emergency mitigation typically starts within 24 hours. Full restoration timelines depend on scope. A kitchen water loss might be 4 to 8 weeks. A whole-house fire restoration commonly runs 6 to 10 months from demolition through final move-back. The biggest variables are insurance scope approval speed, material lead times, and the quality of pre-loss finishes — high-end millwork, stone, and specialty materials extend the schedule.

Who pays for insurance restoration?

Your insurer pays for everything within the approved scope of loss. Our contract is with you as the homeowner or strata corporation, but in practice the funds flow through the claim. We work with your adjuster on scope and pricing so the approved amount covers the restoration. If you want upgrades beyond pre-loss condition (better finishes, layout changes, betterment), those are paid separately by the homeowner. We provide clear line-item pricing so you always know what is covered and what is not.

Should I take a cash settlement or let my insurer manage the restoration?

It depends on the scope of the claim and what level of finish you expect after restoration. Cash settlements can leave homeowners under-funded if reconstruction costs are higher than the insurer's estimate — especially in luxury markets like West Vancouver and Whistler. A scope review with an independent contractor before you accept any offer is the safest move. Read our detailed comparison of cash settlement vs. insurance restoration for the full breakdown.

Does Eurohouse handle strata water damage in Downtown Vancouver and West Van condos?

Yes. Strata water damage is one of our specialty areas. We handle the coordination between strata insurance, individual owner insurance, and the building's property manager — including who pays for what under the BC Strata Property Act, Form K requirements, common-property repair coordination, and the reconstruction of the individual unit. Our licensed GC status and high-end residential finish quality make us a fit for premium Downtown and West Van buildings.

Eurohouse Construction provides insurance restoration services across West Vancouver, North Vancouver, Vancouver, Whistler, Squamish, and Lions Bay. We are based at 1514 Marine Drive in West Vancouver and have completed insurance-funded projects throughout the Sea-to-Sky corridor and the broader Lower Mainland.
