CD Woodfin Construction remodels home of family displaced by fire

Many remember the day last August when dark gray clouds rolled into town, bringing the first rain Lubbock had seen in months. Residents of all ages stopped what they were doing to celebrate a much-needed respite from an extremely hot summer.

But as it often does on the South Plains, the weather quickly turned from welcome to worrisome. Sprinkles on the sidewalk became rushing ravines and visibility dropped to nearly zero, backing up traffic all over town. Lightning lit up the sky and a few structures below, starting fires in several homes and apartments.

One of those homes belonged to Eddie and Sara Chisum. They were on vacation when they received the news that their house had caught fire. A co-worker of Sara’s who lived just a few blocks away had seen the fire on her way home from work. Luckily, the fire department was able to save the structure, but a major remodel was in order.

Though the news was traumatic, and their vacation cut short, the Chisums wasted no time making arrangements. Their insurance company was quick to enlist CD Woodfin Construction as the remodeler. A local fire and water restoration company came the next morning to begin cleaning and organizing the Chisums’ belongings, and the remodel was soon underway.

The majority of the damage occurred in the living room, on the roof, and in the attic. But the kitchen was also in need of repair, as the fire department had to break through a the wall that joined the kitchen and living room in order to reach the flames in the attic. New sheetrock was installed, as well as cabinets, countertops, electrical wiring, and kitchen appliances. Parts of the house required new carpet, paint and wood flooring because of the water damage and heavy soot.

The remodel took six months and although the Chisums were displaced to a hotel room, they were not uncared for by their remodeling company. This is what Sara, who was pregnant with their first child at the time, appreciated most about CD Woodfin.

“They were very concerned about us as a family,” she says. “It was more than just a job to them. They took the time to make sure that we were okay, met with us on our schedule, kept us informed and up-to-date, and were very supportive and encouraging through a tough time.

“Even though we’re back in the house now, they still call to check on us and make sure that we’re satisfied with everything and that everything is working correctly,” she adds.

And satisfied they are.

“We’re so very pleased with the remodel,” Sara says. “They helped us make the best of an unfortunate situation. We would recommended them to anyone who needs a remodel – in good times or bad!”
