Restoration & Repair Services in Richfield, MN

Restoration and repair for Richfield homes

Richfield is about as consistent as a housing stock gets. The city filled in almost entirely in the postwar years, and street after street is 1950s Cape Cods and ramblers on small, uniform lots — same footprints, same era, same construction. That uniformity is convenient right up until it isn’t, because it means a whole city’s worth of houses reaching the same replacement points on the same schedule: roofs, furnaces, water heaters, sewer laterals, and original supply piping all aging together. These are compact homes, too, so a burst line or a basement backup takes out a much larger share of the finished square footage than it would in a bigger house.

Ungerman has served Richfield and the wider Twin Cities since 1977. We answer live 24/7/365 for emergencies, and because we handle both the mitigation and the rebuild, one team stays with your property from the first hour through the last coat of paint rather than passing it to a second contractor midway.

What we handle in Richfield

Our Richfield work falls into three buckets. Emergency restoration covers water, fire and smoke, and storm and hail damage, including board-up, tarping, and full reconstruction — basement water is the usual culprit in a city of postwar homes on original below-grade plumbing. Plumbing, heating, and cooling replaces the aging furnaces, water heaters, and galvanized or early copper supply lines that came with 1950s construction, including full repipes. Exterior work — roofing, siding, and windows — handles the simple rooflines and original steel or wood siding on these houses, where an honest match matters on a block where every home looks alike.

Most emergency work is covered by your property insurance, and we document the damage and work directly with your adjuster so the claim doesn’t become your second job. On the commercial side we serve businesses along 66th Street and Lyndale Avenue, plus properties near the MSP airport just east and the Mall of America district south of the city line.
