Restoration Case Studies & Project Examples
More than 20 years of restoration work across Florida has taught us what a good project record looks like: the loss, the evidence found on site, the decisions made and what was documented at closeout.

How we document projects
What Makes a Useful Restoration Case Study?
Every Skyfold Restoration project is written up around the same six questions, so owners, managers and adjusters can follow what was found and what was done.
02 · EXTENT
What was affected?
Document rooms, materials, contents and any concealed areas identified during inspection.
03 · RESPONSE
What was done?
Explain source control, extraction, drying, cleaning, containment or other restoration steps.
04 · EVIDENCE
How was progress measured?
Use photographs, moisture readings, equipment records and scope documentation where applicable.
05 · CLOSEOUT
What remained?
Separate completed mitigation from repairs, reconstruction or replacement that still needed to occur.
06 · RECORD
What should the owner keep?
Preserve the project photographs, readings, scope, invoices and relevant communications.
Project examples
Before & after: the losses we handle most often.
Four typical Florida projects, from the first inspection to the documented result. Customer names and addresses are kept private.
Illustration
Burst supply line in an occupied home
- The problem
- A pressurized plumbing line failed while the home was occupied. Water reached flooring, baseboards, lower drywall and nearby contents.
- Restoration work
- The source was isolated, standing water was extracted and affected rooms were moisture-mapped. Air movers and dehumidifiers were placed and adjusted as readings changed. Materials that could not be restored in place were removed.
- Documented outcome
- Moisture readings were tracked through drying and recorded with photographs. The scope was closed out with mitigation separated from the repair and reconstruction work that followed.
Illustration
Kitchen fire with smoke and soot damage
- The problem
- A kitchen fire left soot on walls and cabinets, smoke odor throughout the home and water from firefighting in the affected area.
- Restoration work
- The affected rooms were assessed, soot and residues were cleaned from salvageable surfaces, odor-control work was completed and moisture was checked where suppression water reached.
- Documented outcome
- Cleaned areas and the materials that needed replacement were photographed and listed, giving the owner and insurer a clear scope for repairs.
Illustration
Mold behind a wall after a slow leak
- The problem
- A slow leak went unnoticed and moisture allowed mold to grow on drywall along an interior wall.
- Restoration work
- The moisture source was identified first, then the work area was contained, affected drywall was removed, surfaces were cleaned and the area was dried.
- Documented outcome
- The moisture condition was corrected, the affected area was photographed before and after, and verification was planned before repairs began.
Illustration
Storm-damaged roof with rain intrusion
- The problem
- A storm opened part of the roof and rain entered the attic and ceiling below.
- Restoration work
- The opening was covered with an emergency tarp, standing water was removed, and affected ceilings, insulation and walls were assessed and dried.
- Documented outcome
- Drying records and photographs were retained while permanent roof repairs were coordinated as a separate scope.
Before-and-after scenes on this page are illustrations that show how each type of loss typically changes from inspection to closeout.
