McIntyre:
Incident: Residential Garage Fire
Damage: Garage, Roof, and Heavy Smoke Damages
Repairs: A fire started in the garage and quickly spread throughout the roof structure requiring a complete new roof structure. The severity of the smoke damage required all interior drywall, flooring and insulation to be removed and replaced. This project required an additional level of communication as one of the sons was handling the repairs on behalf of his Father through McKenzie/Taylor Restoration from out of state. Working closely with the homeowner McKenzie/Taylor Restoration was able to facilitate some extensive remodeling by adding in a Master Bathroom, Master Walk in Closet and reconfiguring the laundry room.

Butler:
Incident: Wind storm
Damage: Carport, and Utility Room
Repairs: During a violent wind storm a 10'X 20' sheet metal carport blew onto the top of the home causing damage to gas ventilation and fascia boards. McKenzie/Taylor Restoration first removed the carport and secured the home with tarps to prevent further damage. Not only did we do the repairs to the damaged area of the carport, roof, fascia boards, and utility room, we replaced the entire flat roofed area (400sf) with a membrane roof with a lifetime warranty.

Incident: Electrical Fire in Upstairs Bedroom
Damage: Three bedrooms, two baths, kitchen, dining, living room, and hall. Damage entailed substantial smoke damage throughout the residence.
Repairs: We replaced all upstairs doors and windows, wiring, insulation drywall and floor coverings. Downstairs we replaced some doors and windows, all the floor coverings, and over 80% of the drywall, insulation, and wiring. This house that was built in 1912 was remodeled by the home owner months prior to the fire. There were still a few things the owner wanted to remodel but hadn't had time. Since McKenzie/Taylor Restoration was already onsite we worked closely with the home owner to complete all of his remodeling visions and relieve a lot of stress. We relocated the downstairs bathroom, enclosed a porch and took out a wall to make a much larger dining room to accommodate family gatherings.

Incident: Wind storm, 150 foot Cedar tree fell on the residence
Damage: The entire roof structure was damaged. Several doors and windows were damaged from the impact of the tree.
Repairs: As we began the repairs we discovered that many items throughout the home were out of date and no longer met current building codes. McKenzie/Taylor Restoration pulled all the necessary permits and brought all items out of code back to current standards. This list included framing, electrical, plumbing, and insulation.

Incident: Wind storm
Damage: Tree fell through the entire garage structure and stopped when it hit the house making several penetrations in the roof.
Repairs: Rebuild entire garage which was a separate building than the house. This included replacement of a section of concrete slab and stem wall. Engineering was required to bring the building to current building codes. Working closely with the homeowner McKenzie/Taylor was able to upgrade the garage with bonus trusses and drywall throughout. After the garage was complete and the owners were satisfied, we began the repairs to the home which included replacing a custom 4"X10" cedar beam that supported a cedar tongue and groove ceiling. We then replaced their rolled roofing with a TPO roof that had a superior warranty and life expectancy than what the house had to start with. We also replaced a 16' custom skylight and two other skylights on another roof lower than the main roof.
