About Crew Restoration & Construction

Crew Restoration & Construction was built around a straightforward idea: when water is soaking through drywall at midnight or smoke residue is settling into every surface of a home, the people who show up matter as much as the equipment they bring. The company is based in Sioux Falls and focuses on residential and commercial restoration — water damage, fire and smoke cleanup, mold remediation, and reconstruction — because those are the jobs that genuinely disrupt people’s lives and demand more than a surface-level fix.

What we do

Most days, the work starts with a phone call from someone who has never dealt with a burst pipe or a kitchen fire before. They’re not sure what’s salvageable, whether their insurance will cover it, or how long they’ll be out of a room — sometimes out of their home. The job isn’t just extraction equipment and dehumidifiers; it’s walking through the damage honestly, documenting everything the carrier will need, and giving the homeowner a realistic picture of what comes next.

Insurance billing is a significant part of how restoration work actually functions. Rather than leaving property owners to negotiate scope and pricing on their own, the team documents the loss in detail — moisture readings, affected square footage, material conditions — and works directly with adjusters. That process protects the homeowner from gaps in coverage and keeps the project moving without months of back-and-forth.

The reconstruction side of the business means there’s no handoff gap between mitigation and rebuild. Once the structure is dry and cleared, the same crew can handle framing, drywall, flooring, and finish work — which matters when a family is trying to get back into a bedroom or a business is trying to reopen.

Our certifications and licensure

Certifications in this industry exist because the consequences of doing the work wrong are serious. Mold left behind after improper drying colonizes quickly — within 24 to 48 hours under the right conditions — and structural materials that test dry on the surface can still hold enough moisture to cause long-term damage. Industry standards set by organizations like the IICRC define the drying protocols, equipment placement, and documentation practices that separate a proper remediation from one that fails in six months. Crew Restoration & Construction holds the certifications relevant to the work performed here, and the team stays current as those standards are updated.

Where we work

Sioux Falls is the hub, but the service area extends across the surrounding region — including communities throughout southeastern and central South Dakota. The Northern Plains climate means freeze-thaw cycles that stress older plumbing every winter, spring flooding along river corridors, and severe storm seasons that can push water into basements and crawl spaces fast. The housing stock in many Sioux Falls neighborhoods includes homes built in the mid-twentieth century, which adds considerations around older building materials and construction methods. Whether the job is in a newer development on the west side of the city or a farmstead an hour out, the approach to the work doesn’t change.
