The honest answer first
There is no honest flat price for flood repair – it depends on how much water, how long it sat, and what it ruined. What we can give you here are published national cost ranges (each labeled with its source), the factors that move your number, and a free itemized assessment that prices YOUR home exactly. Florida GC Group LLC (Lic. #RG291104194) never quotes a rebuild from a national average – and you should be cautious with any contractor who does.
Published ranges (national sources – not our prices)
- Water damage restoration overall: average about $3,867, with typical jobs ranging from about $1,364 to $6,291 (Angi 2025-2026 data, as compiled by industry trackers).
- Flood cleanup after storms: $2,500-$9,000 (DryOut Inc, Treasure Coast) – note this is the cleanup/drying phase, which is mitigation work we do not perform; rebuild costs come on top of it.
- Water-damaged drywall repair: most jobs $150-$2,500 (RestoreAdvisor); individual water-damaged drywall line items commonly $600-$1,550 (HomeAdvisor data).
- Context: the average NFIP flood claim is just under $40,000 – most of that is usually the rebuild, not the cleanup.
- Larger repair phase (flood-cut drywall replacement plus painting across 500-1,000 sq ft): $4,500-$9,500 in published contractor pricing guides; complete multi-room rebuilds run $12,000-$32,000 and up.
What actually drives your price
- Depth and duration: inches of water and days before drying decide how much drywall, insulation and flooring is lost.
- Materials in your home: tile over slab survives differently than laminate over subfloor.
- Scope of rooms affected: one bathroom vs. a whole first floor.
- Subfloor and structural surprises that only show once flooring is up – a real estimate flags these rather than hiding them.
- Whether funding helps: PSL homeowners may qualify for the City’s SHIP program (up to $25,000, approval before work begins) – see Paying for Flood Repairs.
