You don't have to navigate this alone
Water damage. Fire damage. A burst pipe at 2am. A flooded basement after a storm. These are some of the most stressful situations a homeowner can face and the last thing you need is a contractor who doesn't call back, doesn't understand the insurance process, or quotes you one number and bills you another.
Breachway Building Co. has handled disaster reconstruction for homeowners for over 25 years. We handle the reconstruction from demo through finished space, and we work directly with your insurance company so you don't have to fight for what you're owed.
Owner Josh Sherman manages every reconstruction project personally. When you call, you get Josh — not a call center, not a franchise coordinator.
Water Damage Repair
Water damage is deceptive. What you can see — warped floors, wet drywall, stained ceilings — is often less extensive than what's hidden in the wall cavities, subfloor, and structural framing. Getting the repair right means addressing all of it, not just what's visible.
Breachway Building Co. provides full water damage reconstruction for homeowners across southern Rhode Island and southeastern Connecticut. We work in coordination with your mitigation company (or can recommend one) and take over once the drying is complete, handling demo, rebuild, and finish work all the way through final inspection.

Fire Damage Repair
A house fire is traumatic, and the damage is almost always more extensive than what the flames touched. Smoke travels through wall cavities and HVAC systems. Water from firefighting soaks into subfloors and framing. Soot settles on surfaces throughout the home. A proper restoration addresses all of it.
Breachway Building Co. provides full fire damage reconstruction for homeowners across Southern Rhode Island and southeastern Connecticut. We work in coordination with your fire damage remediation company (or can refer one) and manage the complete rebuild — from structural assessment through final finishes.

We Work With Your Insurance. You Shouldn't Have to Fight for It.
One of the most common frustrations homeowners have after a disaster is dealing with the insurance claim process while also trying to manage a contractor and hold their household together. We remove that burden.
Breachway Building Co. works directly with all major homeowner's insurance carriers operating in Rhode Island and Connecticut. We document the damage thoroughly, submit what your adjuster needs, communicate directly throughout the claim process, and build to the approved scope. You stay in the loop, but you're not in the middle.
Coastal Storm Damage — We Know What It Does to Homes Here
Westerly, Watch Hill, Misquamicut, Weekapaug, Stonington, Mystic and the surrounding coastal communities face weather risks that inland homeowners don't. Nor'easters. Hurricane remnants. Storm surge. Coastal flooding. These events can cause severe and sudden damage to homes that weren't designed with modern storm standards in mind.
Breachway Building Co. has helped coastal homeowners across Southern Rhode Island and southeastern Connecticut rebuild after major storm events. We understand the construction characteristics of older coastal homes, the permitting environment after a major storm, and the specific challenges of rebuilding in flood zones. If your home is in a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA), we know how to navigate that process.
