A fresh coat of paint can completely change how a home looks and feels.

Whether you’re updating a single room or repainting your entire house, professional painting is one of the most affordable and impactful upgrades you can make.

At Aftermath Contracting, painting is more than just changing colors — it’s about improving your home’s appearance, protecting surfaces, and increasing long-term value.

Why Painting Is More Important Than Most Homeowners Think

Painting isn’t just cosmetic. It helps:

• 
  

  Protect walls from moisture and wear

  
  


• 
  

  Cover stains, scuffs, and surface damage

  
  


• 
  

  Brighten dark or outdated spaces

  
  


• 
  

  Make rooms feel larger, cleaner, and more modern

A flooded basement is one of the most stressful problems a homeowner can face. Whether it’s caused by heavy rain, a burst pipe, foundation leaks, or sewer backup, basement flooding can damage flooring, walls, furniture, and even the structure of your home if it’s not handled quickly and correctly.

At Aftermath Contracting, basement flood cleanup and restoration is one of the most important services we provide, because speed and proper repairs make the difference between a simple cleanup and a full rebuild.

Why Basement Flooding Is a Serious Problem

Even a small amount of standing water can lead to:

• 
  

  Damaged drywall and insulation

  
  


• 
  

  Warped flooring and baseboards

  
  


• 
  

  Mold and mildew growth

As a homeowner, it’s easy to focus on what you can see — paint colors, furniture, flooring, and decor. But some of the most expensive and damaging problems in a home start out of sight and silently get worse over time.

At Aftermath Contracting, we often meet homeowners who say:
“I didn’t think it was a big deal… until it became one.”

Common Hidden Issues That Turn Into Big Repairs

Here are some of the most common problems that start small but can become serious:

1. Moisture and Water Damage

Small leaks behind walls, under sinks, or around windows can lead to:

• 
  

  Mold growth

  
  


• 
  

  Wood rot

  
  


• 
  

  Structural damage

  
  


• 
  

  Bad smells and air quality issues

  
  

2. Poor Ventilation

Water damage is one of the most stressful problems a homeowner can face. Whether it’s caused by a burst pipe, flooding, roof leaks, or appliance failure, water can quickly destroy flooring, drywall, cabinets, and even the structure of your home if it’s not handled properly.

At Aftermath Contracting, water damage restoration is one of the most important and time-sensitive services we provide.

Why Fast Action Matters

Water damage gets worse by the hour. The longer moisture sits in your home, the more problems it causes:

• 
  

  Mold and mildew growth

  
  


• 
  

  Warped floors and damaged drywall

  
  


• 
  

  Structural weakening

  
  


• 
  

  Electrical hazards

  
  


• 
  

  Permanent damage to cabinets and finishes

  
  

Quick, professional intervention c...

When homeowners think about renovations, they usually think about kitchens, bathrooms, or new floors. But the most important part of any home is the structure itself. If the structure is compromised, everything else is at risk.

Small cracks, sloping floors, or sticking doors might not seem like a big deal — but they’re often early warning signs of deeper structural issues.

At Aftermath Contracting, structural repairs are one of the most critical services we provide, because they protect the entire home, not just how it looks.

Common Signs of Structural Problems

If you notice any of the following, your home may need professional structural attention:

• 
  

  Cracks in walls, ceilings, or found...

The kitchen is more than just a place to cook — it’s where families gather, guests hang out, and everyday life happens. If your kitchen feels outdated, cramped, or inefficient, a renovation can completely change how your home looks, feels, and functions.

At Aftermath Contracting, kitchen renovations are one of the most rewarding projects we take on because they deliver both daily comfort and long-term home value.

Signs It’s Time to Renovate Your Kitchen

You might benefit from a kitchen renovation if:

• 
  

  Your cabinets are worn, damaged, or outdated

  
  


• 
  

  Countertops are chipped, stained, or hard to maintain

  
  


• 
  

  Lighting is poor or the layout feels dark and cramped

  
  


• 
  

  Appliances are old and ineffic...

Few things cause stress for homeowners like walking into the basement and seeing water on the floor. Whether it’s from heavy rain, a burst pipe, or foundation leaks, basement water damage can quickly turn into a serious — and expensive — problem if not handled properly.

At Aftermath Contracting, water damage restoration is one of the most common emergency calls we respond to, and acting fast makes all the difference.

Why Basement Water Damage Is So Dangerous

Basement flooding isn’t just about wet carpets or damaged drywall. If left untreated, it can lead to:

• 
  

  Mold growth within 24–48 hours

  
  


• 
  

  Structural damage to framing and foundations

  
  


• 
  

  Ruined flooring and insulation

  
  


•

Most homeowners think water damage is obvious.

A leak in the ceiling.
A flooded basement.
A soaked carpet.

But the most expensive water damage usually happens where you can’t see it.

Behind walls.
Under floors.
Inside ceilings.
Under tile and behind cabinets.

At Aftermath Contracting, we regularly open up homes where the visible damage is minor — but the structural damage behind it has been growing silently for months or even years.

How Hidden Water Damage Starts

Water doesn’t need a flood to cause serious problems.

It often starts from:

• 
  

  Small plumbing leaks

  
  


• 
  

  Slow roof leaks

  
  


• 
  

  Window or door seal failures

  
  


• 
  

  Poor ventilation in bathrooms or kitchens

  
  


• 
  

  Old caulking or failing grout

  
  


•

A house fire is one of the most stressful experiences a homeowner can go through. Even small fires can leave behind serious damage that isn’t always obvious at first glance. While flames may be put out quickly, the real work begins afterward — and that work is critical to protecting your home, your health, and your investment.

At Aftermath Contracting, we’ve seen firsthand that fire damage is rarely just “surface level.” Smoke, heat, and water from firefighting efforts often cause long-term issues that many homeowners don’t realize until weeks or months later.

Fire Damage Is More Than What You Can See

When people think of fire damage, they usually think of:

Water damage is one of the most stressful problems a homeowner or business owner can face. A burst pipe, roof leak, flooded basement, or appliance failure can turn into a major disaster in a matter of hours. What looks like a small puddle today can become structural damage, mold growth, and costly repairs if it isn’t handled properly and quickly.

At Aftermath Contracting, we see it all the time: people try to wait it out, dry things themselves, or patch the visible damage—only to discover months later that moisture has been quietly destroying their home from the inside.

The Hidden Danger of Water Damage

Water doesn’t just sit where you can see it.
