I never expected to see my home immersed in water. After weeks of rain, the river finally overflowed and engulfed the first floor of the house. After the waters receded, the work of restoring the home began. Fortunately, I was able to find a contractor with experience in restoring homes damaged by bad weather. He evaluated the situation and provided a list of what needed to be done. He also supervised everything from replacing wiring to ripping out the old carpeting.
