Restoring Your Home After Fire or Water Damage
When disaster strikes, homeowners face overwhelming damage, not just from flames or flooding, but from the aftermath. At Maya Construction Group, we specialize in reconstruction and rebuilding once the emergency cleanup is complete.
We help Chicago homeowners recover from fire and water damage through licensed, code-compliant restoration that rebuilds your home safely and beautifully.
From structural repair to interior finishing, we ensure every detail meets both insurance standards and your personal expectations.

Water Damage Restoration in Chicago Homes & Condos


Water damage can happen anywhere, in single-family homes, multi-unit buildings, and downtown condos.
In the Chicago area, older plumbing systems, heavy rain, and sudden temperature drops make leaks and flooding all too common.
Common Causes of Water Damage
Basement flooding from heavy storms, sump pump failure, or sewer backups
Frozen or burst pipes in winter months
Roof and gutter leaks leading to ceiling and wall damage
Plumbing or appliance failures (dishwashers, water heaters, washing machines)
Condo water leaks from neighboring units, shared plumbing lines, or upper-floor overflows
From flooded basements to condo leaks, Maya Construction Group rebuilds water-damaged spaces across Chicago.
We handle the full restoration process from repairing walls, flooring, and finishes, while coordinating with your insurance and HOA to ensure a smooth recovery.
What’s the Difference Between Mitigation, Remediation, and Restoration?
| Phase | Handled By | Purpose | Examples |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mitigation | Emergency service provider | Stop further damage | Board-up, tarping, water extraction |
| Remediation | Cleanup specialists | Clean & sanitize | Smoke removal, mold prevention, odor control |
| Restoration | Maya Construction Group | Rebuild & repair | Drywall, flooring, cabinetry, electrical, finishing |
Maya Construction Group does not perform emergency mitigation, but we’re the trusted rebuild contractor homeowners call once the property is cleared and ready for reconstruction.

What Our Customers Say
Check out why our clients enjoy working with us!
Menglin ShiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We’re so glad we chose Udi and Maya Construction for our kitchen remodel. We bought a condo with a 20+-year-old, cramped kitchen (a closet at one end ate up counter space). Our scope included new cabinets, countertop, backsplash, floor tile, and appliances. Several contractors warned the popcorn ceiling would look patchy after removing the closet and said it couldn’t be blended. Udi was the only one who proposed a smart solution—drop the ceiling slightly and add recessed lights. The result is clean, bright, and open, exactly what we wanted. Udi was responsive, professional, and honest. As first-time homeowners, we appreciated how he guided our decisions and offered practical advice. His crew was punctual, respectful, and skilled. Like any project, a few things didn’t go exactly to plan, but Udi consistently brought solutions and addressed issues quickly. For example, our ceiling was lower than the hood spec, and his team cut the chimney to fit perfectly. They also went above and beyond: picking up tile, receiving the sink and faucet, and bringing everything to the unit, which meant a lot since my husband was overseas during the project. We love our new kitchen and would 100% recommend Udi and his team Maya Construction. They made the project surprisingly painless, and even enjoyable (I joked the hardest part was waking up for it since I’m not a morning person and the crew starts at 8!). Their quote was on the higher end of what we received, but the quality and peace of mind were worth every penny. Randy MikosTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It took me years to find the right contractor for my home project. This company is beyond excellent!! He has an excellent crew. Always start at 7:00 am and usually go until 6:00 pm. I’m very picky and I could not have found a better company. C LTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The work that Maya Construction did to replace outdoor stairs was exceptional!! Udi and his team were professional, efficient and completed an amazing job. They started and finished ahead of schedule. Udi was there at every phase of the construction and kept me informed. I would use Maya construction without hesitation for our next project and highly recommend them. Mary FukawaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After years of dreaming and planning, we finally completed a full kitchen and powder room renovation — and we are so glad we entrusted it to Maya Construction Group. From start to finish, the experience was smooth, professional, and collaborative. Ofer and his team brought our vision to life with care, skill, and integrity. We’d been considering this project for a long time but hadn’t pulled the trigger. Looking back, I think we were just waiting to meet the right team. I first met Ofer when I walked into Planet Cabinets to browse cabinetry, and after just one conversation, I came home and told my husband, “I think I found our guy.” Ofer was thoughtful and thorough in his approach. He listened closely, never rushed us, and gave clear, honest guidance throughout. He and his team helped us finalize our layout, coordinated all the moving parts, and executed everything with a high level of craftsmanship. The team was reliable, respectful of our home, and skilled at what they do. Yes, their quote came in a little higher than some others — maybe 10–15% — but in our opinion, it was worth it. Renovation is stressful enough. When you’re investing this much in your home, you want it done right, and you want to be able to trust the people doing it. With Maya Construction Group, we had that peace of mind. We’re thrilled with the results and would absolutely recommend them. Drew RhollTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We first used Maya for our kitchen, which came out great. A year later they just finished our primary bathroom. For both projects, they were insightful and flexible, allowing us to adapt the project as new information and suggestions came up. We highly recommend them for high quality work and clear communication. Katie LambertTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Maya Construction did a great job on our house addition in Logan Square! Ofer and Udi were consistently professional, honest, and transparent. As we neared the end of our project, they were focused on quality and doing things the right way, without nickel and diming us on small additions to the scope. Our project interfaced with our 130 year old house and they didn't shy away from that complexity. I would happily recommend this team to anyone looking to do work on their house! Kristi BroderickTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I used Maya for a bathroom remodel. I am a repeat customer as I returned to them for the bathroom job after they had done my kitchen and basement years before. Their work is excellent, and Udi and Ofer are great communicators who keep all the pieces moving and remember even the smaller loose ends and open items. The work is quality and done so well -- they do things as they are supposed to be done, and with clean, sharp execution that makes you feel very good as the homeowner. They problem-solve as things come up, and are straight-shooters with information, options and a professional/approach. I give them my highest recommendation. Anna BurakovskiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Udi and his crew did an amazing job remodeling our bathrooms! Very responsible, on time and very reasonable priced. Highly recommended! Jen HippTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly recommend Maya Construction! We just wrapped up reno on a 1br/1ba condo and it came out beautifully, on budget and ahead of schedule! Udi and his team did an amazing job. And we live out of town so all of this was done remotely, they were awesome!Google rating score: 4.8 of 5, based on 99 reviews
