Storm claims
Documented for the adjuster.
Is this your house
Brick or block walking up the wall is the house telling you the footing moved.
A gap at the jamb and a floor that slopes aren’t a carpenter problem first. They’re a foundation problem.
Wet at the floor-wall joint after every rain. That’s not humidity. That’s the grade and the wall losing.
July washouts left houses standing on air. If you can see more foundation than last year, call.
Storm damage insurance claims
July storms moved a lot of Ulster County houses. We photograph it, measure it, write a scope, and stand there when the adjuster walks the yard. We’re the contractor — not a public adjuster — and we don’t promise what a policy will cover. We make the damage impossible to miss.
Homeowners policies often exclude flood. If the creek came up, that’s usually a flood policy. We’ll tell you what we’re looking at. You file the claim. We document the house.
What we do
Stair-step cracks, bowing walls, settled corners, failed footings. We find why it moved, then lock it so the house sits true.
Seepage at the cove, musty slabs, water after every storm. Interior drains, membranes, sump backup, and grading that sheds water.
Undermined footings, washed banks, flooded basements. Stabilize first, then rebuild so the next rain doesn’t open it back up.
Old stone, brick, and lime-mortar walls on houses that predate the interstate. We restore them so they look like they belong — and sit like they should.
We build too. Additions, decks, outbuildings, and new work that starts from a foundation that won’t move. Same crew. Same written price.

How it goes
01
Crack, water, a door that sticks. We call back from (518) 390-4583 — usually the same day.
02
Grade, walls, slab, drainage, what the storm did. No pitch deck. You leave with a written plan and a price.
03
We do the work, keep the site clean, and pass the county inspection where it applies. Square on the invoice.
Service area
Saugerties and Kingston are home. If the wall is moving in the next town over, still send it.
Who shows up
Commercial concrete and masonry background. Family of builders in Ulster County. Historical foundations, new building, and the repair work in between. We pull permits when the town wants them, meet the inspector, and leave the yard cleaner than we found it.
Still looking
No chat bot. Name, phone, town, what you’re seeing. Or skip the form and call.
Straight answers
Yes. Saugerties, Kingston, and Ulster County are home base. If you’re just over the line and a wall is moving, still send it.
We come out, walk the house, and tell you if it’s a weekend caulk job or a real repair. No charge for that. If you hire us, you get a written scope before we start.
Yes. Text (518) 390-4583. A photo of the crack, the door, or the wet wall is enough to get a first read.
That’s a lot of the work right now — washouts at the footing, flooded basements, banks that let go. Storm-active jobs jump the line.
Yes — we document. Photos, measurements, a written repair scope, and we’ll meet the adjuster. We are not a public adjuster and we don’t file the claim or guarantee what a policy pays. You file it. We make the damage obvious.
Depends on the policy and the cause. Sudden storm damage is a different conversation than a crack that’s been walking for ten years. Flood water from a creek is often a flood policy, not homeowners. We’ll tell you what we’re seeing. Your carrier decides what they cover.
Don’t wait to photograph it, and don’t wait to shore a wall that’s moving. Emergency work to stop further damage is usually allowed. Full repair often waits on the claim. We’ll tell you what to do now vs. what to hold.
When a permit is required, we pull it and meet the inspector. Built to pass — not to hide.
Square — card, tap, or invoice. No last-day surprises. The look is free.
Yes. A lot of Ulster County houses sit on fieldstone, brick, and lime mortar. We rebuild, point, and shore them — not vinyl-patch them. If the house is historic, we treat it like it.
Both. Foundation repair is the core. We also take additions, decks, outbuildings, and new work when the job starts from the ground up. Same written scope. Same crew.
