Has the Storm Damage Spread Inside Your Property?

Stormwater can enter through a small exterior opening and travel into walls, ceilings, insulation, flooring, and adjoining rooms before the full damage becomes visible.

Signs professional storm restoration is needed

The roof or exterior has visible damage

Missing materials, broken windows, damaged doors, or openings in exterior walls can expose the property to additional water.

Ceilings or walls are stained

Moisture behind painted drywall can cause the finish to blister, crack, separate, or peel away from the surface.

Water is collecting indoors

Standing water can move beneath flooring, behind baseboards, and into nearby rooms.

Flooring or cabinets are swelling

Warped flooring, loose tiles, expanded cabinet panels, and separating trim can indicate absorbed moisture.

Damp odors remain after the storm

Persistent musty odors can come from wet drywall, insulation, flooring, cabinets, or concealed structural materials.

How We Restore Storm-Damaged Properties

We organize the work around the building’s condition, exposed areas, water intrusion, damaged materials, and safety concerns found during the inspection.

We assess and document the damage

We inspect accessible exterior and interior areas to identify storm, wind, rainwater, and moisture damage.

We stabilize exposed areas

When authorized, we restrict unsafe areas and coordinate temporary protection for damaged roofs, doors, windows, or exterior openings.

We remove water and damaged materials

We extract accessible standing water and remove approved materials that cannot be cleaned, dried, or retained.

We dry and monitor the structure

We install air movers and dehumidifiers, take moisture readings, and adjust the drying plan as conditions change.

We coordinate approved repairs

We restore damaged walls, ceilings, flooring, insulation, cabinets, trim, exterior components, and interior finishes.

Sam and Ali were absolutely fantastic to work with. From the very beginning, they were professional, thorough, and incredibly communicative. They came out multiple times to assess the situation and provided a detailed, transparent quote that clearly outlined the scope of work—no hidden fees, no surprises. What really stood out was their honesty and the time they took to explain everything. The level of detail they provided gave us full confidence in their knowledge and capabilities. They were easy to talk to, responsive, and clearly dedicated to helping their clients understand every step of the process. If you're looking for a company that is reliable, transparent, and truly knows their stuff choose A/S general contracting. I 10/10 recommend them.

Charlene Krietzberg

The entire crew at A/S General Contracting were great! They kept me informed every step of the way. They were professional and did a great job on my restroom restoration. Magda helped me through the entire insurance process and I am so appreciative. I definitely recommend their services.

Rebecca Gomez

A/S general contractor was recommended by a friend and so glad I went with them. They were able to come in and remodel our house after a flood and it far exceeded my expectations. They turned a stressful situation to easy and stress free for us. Special shoutout to Sam, for keeping things honest and straight forward. I knew what I was getting from the get go and if I had any issues he was able to correct them within the hour. Sam is detailed oriented and you can he shows that he cares about the customers by his actions.

Chad Whitehouse

Two years after the “shoddy” work they performed we are having to completely replace the flooring. They shot pin nails into laminate flooring but that isn’t the worst part. The patchwork they used to lay a sub floor was crap. They know what they did. They all like to agree and blame the homeowner for whatever goes wrong. One tone even suggesting they because we live in a “trailer house,” the floor would never be perfect. Well now we see clearly what kind of a pieced together project they did, we now have someone who is fixing this fiasco! Don’t use them

Danette O'Quin

AS General Contacting is a great company. They repaired the water damage to my porch in a timely, professional manner. I highly recommend them to anyone who needs any type of repair!

Deborah J. Davis

Any leak damage will take time and patience. Ali, Greg and Abel were great. Good communication! Good follow through! Scheduling was clearly communicated. Every project takes time, but these guys took care of the little details. They also helped me get the most from my coverage. This is my 3rd time working with A/S Contracting. I would recommend them to anyone.

Eric Hughes

Maria Tsagalakis

Professional, patient, first class customer service, on time execution and overall great experience working with this company. Highly recommend!

Olivia Bue

We had a major water leak that required us to file a claim through our insurance company, and our plumber referred us to A/S General. From the very beginning, Greg and Sam were incredibly helpful, guiding us through the entire process and helping expedite everything with our insurance company. Greg, Sam, and their entire team were professional, thorough, and communicative every step of the way. The construction crew consistently showed up on time, worked efficiently, and always left the work area clean at the end of each day. Thanks to their attention to detail and quality craftsmanship, our home is now in even better condition than before the water leak. We highly recommend A/S General to anyone in need of home restoration or construction services. Thank you to the entire team for taking such great care of our home!

Mark Anthony Yraola

I had such a great experience working with Ali and his team. I own two salons and over the years his team has helped and guided me into the many upgrades and changes I've done thru-out the spaces. I like to stay current and hip, whether thats rearranging furniture, window treatments, fresh paint, crown mold,etc ...His team has been there to help me manage my spaces. Hard to find good communication and customer service today, your in good hands with this company

I highly recommend A/S General Contracting and will most definitely be requesting their services again. I had major water damage in my house and the repair and replacement done was outstanding. The pricing was reasonable and the worked with me in every aspect of the job. Sam Abraham was very attentive, helpful, handled everything quickly and professionally. Customer service was astonishing and they worked very quickly to get me my house back to 150%. I am beyond pleased work they did. Well made, durable and worth every penny. The service, product and overall experience was outstanding.

I just want to start of by saying that this company went an above and beyond for us to get the scope writing and administrative negotiations with our insurance.I feel we received the most money so our insurance would take care of the flood we had at our home.

Requested to do the job asap. Told Sam Abraham we have house guests coming in at the middle of the week. He sent a crew to see what needs to be done. By Monday, they started fixing the damage and late afternoon, the same day, the job was done. Sam Abraham didn't promise but he produced the result. Ben L

Had some water damage in my shower and closet due to a burst pipe leak. A/S General Contracting came in and worked with my insurance to get my shower back to peak shape. Appreciate the professionalism and communication from Sam every step of the way. When I had a question he was easily accessible. Will definitely recommend to family and friends. Special thanks to Hugo as well for the good work.

The team has been on time,quick, understanding & professional. I can say a lot of people are not like that now and days. Sam and Travis were amazing at what they do. Need more good people like them. From somebody from the military nothing makes me happier than someone that is on time and staying true to their word. Continue the good work you do gentlemen.

Sam and A/S General were great to work with. Sam was very helpful in walking us through the insurance process for our water damage and was even able to get us more money then our other contractor. Sam was always available no matter how many questions I had. I would definitely recommend this company for any restoration project and Sam is by far one of the best individuals I have had to work with.

Storm Damage Risks Across San Diego Properties

San Diego can experience intense seasonal rain, coastal winds, localized flooding, and runoff from hillsides and canyon areas. These conditions can affect properties differently based on elevation, drainage, construction, and proximity to slopes or waterways.

Coastal buildings can face wind-driven rain around windows, doors, balconies, and exterior finishes. Hillside properties can experience runoff moving toward retaining walls, foundations, garages, and lower-level areas.

Urban properties with large paved surfaces can also experience water collecting near entrances when drainage systems become overwhelmed. We consider these conditions when inspecting the damage and preparing the restoration plan.

Areas commonly affected during storms

Roofs and attic materials
Windows and exterior walls
Doors and entryways
Ceilings and insulation
Drywall and wall cavities
Flooring and subflooring
Garages and lower-level rooms
Balconies and exterior finishes
Hillside and canyon-edge areas

Storm Damage Restoration FAQS

What should I do immediately after storm damage?

Stay away from fallen power lines, electrical hazards, unstable ceilings, broken glass, and standing water. Keep people away from damaged areas and call for a professional assessment.

Can you cover a damaged roof or broken window?

When authorized, we can coordinate temporary protection for approved roof, door, window, and exterior openings. Permanent repairs follow after the damage is evaluated.

How do you find water hidden after a storm?

We inspect affected and connected areas and use moisture-detection equipment to check walls, ceilings, flooring, cabinets, insulation, and other building materials.

How long does storm damage restoration take?

The timeline depends on the affected areas, amount of water, structural damage, drying requirements, accessibility, and repairs. We provide a clearer schedule after the inspection.

Can you repair the property after cleanup?

Yes. After stabilization, water removal, and structural drying, we can coordinate approved interior and exterior repairs.
