General Reconstruction & Build-Back in SW Florida
Restoring a property after disaster is a two-phase process: mitigation (stopping the damage) and reconstruction (rebuilding what was lost). Too often, these phases are handled by separate companies, creating handoff delays, scope disputes, and accountability gaps that prolong your displacement and frustrate your insurance claim. WrightWay Emergency Services is both an IICRC-certified restoration firm and a licensed general contractor, providing seamless reconstruction and build-back services after water, fire, mold, storm, and environmental damage throughout Sarasota, Bradenton, Venice, Fort Myers, Naples, and all of SW Florida.
Single-Source Accountability
When one company handles both mitigation and reconstruction, there is no gap between phases, no dispute over who is responsible for hidden damage, and no waiting for a separate contractor to provide a bid, schedule a start date, and mobilize. Our project managers transition seamlessly from the drying phase to the build phase, maintaining continuity of knowledge about your specific property.
In-House Trades
WrightWay employs skilled tradespeople directly – framers, drywall installers, finish carpenters, tile setters, flooring installers, and painters. This in-house capability means we control quality, scheduling, and costs rather than relying on subcontractor availability. For specialty trades (electrical, plumbing, HVAC, roofing), we maintain long-standing relationships with licensed subcontractors who understand our quality standards and response-time expectations.
Reconstruction Services
Our licensed general contractor capabilities include:
- Structural framing – wall framing, floor joists, ceiling joists, roof trusses, and header replacement
- Drywall – hanging, taping, mudding, and texturing to match existing finishes
- Insulation – batt, blown-in, and spray foam installation
- Flooring – hardwood, tile, LVP, laminate, and carpet installation
- Cabinetry – kitchen, bathroom, and custom cabinetry installation
- Trim carpentry – baseboards, crown molding, door casings, and window trim
- Painting – interior and exterior primer, paint, and specialty finishes
- Roofing – shingle, tile, metal, and flat roof repair and replacement
- Electrical and plumbing – licensed subcontractor coordination for system repair and upgrades
- HVAC – ductwork repair, equipment replacement, and system cleaning
1. Scope Development
Working from the mitigation documentation, our estimators develop a comprehensive Xactimate scope covering every line item required to restore the property to pre-loss condition. We review this scope with you and your insurance adjuster to align on coverage before work begins.
2. Material Selection
You select replacement materials – flooring, paint colors, cabinet styles, fixtures, and finishes – with guidance from our project manager. Insurance typically covers “like kind and quality” replacement, and we help you understand where the policy coverage applies and where upgrade costs may fall to you.
3. Permitting
When the scope of work requires building permits – common for structural, electrical, and plumbing work in Sarasota County, Manatee County, and Charlotte County – we handle all permitting. Our familiarity with local building departments in Sarasota, Bradenton, Venice, and the surrounding communities keeps the process moving efficiently.
4. Construction
Our in-house crews execute the work on a managed schedule with regular progress updates. The dedicated project manager for your job is your single point of contact for questions, changes, and status. We maintain clean, organized job sites and respect your property throughout the process.
5. Inspection & Completion
All permitted work passes municipal inspection. We conduct a detailed final walkthrough with you, create a punch list for any remaining items, and complete them promptly. Final documentation, lien waivers, and warranty information are provided, and we assist with insurance claim closure.

We had the best experience with Wrightway! We had a flooding incident from our AC system that seeped into the walls and under the laminate flooring. They were prompt, professional and did a great job drying out and cleaning up everything for us! We also had them do the repairs and we were 100% impressed with their work! Everyone we came in contact with in the office and into our home were respectful and knowledgeable. They worked with us on a great price! We can't say enough about a great experience during a stressful time! A special shout out to Alicia who was great to work with! Thank you all so much!
Verify on Google →Richie Correa with Wright Way was fantastic. He was punctual, efficient and educated me through the whole process of cleaning and sanitizing our air vents. Answered all my questions and was honest and knowledgeable with over 25 years experience. Highly recommend!
Verify on Google →Had a great experience with Wrightway. 3 weeks ago my townhouse had major water intrusion, wet drywall, and water everywhere. The HOA called them at 3pm and by 5pm the crew was onsite with dryers and tearing out the wet drywall. The techs wore shoe covers, were very professional, and made sure to cover and drape unexposed areas. Fernando the project lead called me every other day to keep me updated on the dry out and remediation. The had infrared moisture meters and some pretty high tech stuff. Fernando coordinated with the exterior work to fix the leak, and the interior drywall replacement. I have heard horror stories about remediation companies ripping people off, but this is absolutely not the case with Wrightway. They turned a horrible situation into nothing more than a mild inconvenience. 5 stars for everyone I came in contact with. Great job
