After the Fire

Fire damage is one of the most complex restoration jobs there is — and one of the most misunderstood. The visible char and burned material is only part of what needs to be addressed. Smoke and soot travel through every opening in a structure, coating surfaces rooms away from the fire itself. Acidic soot begins permanently etching surfaces within hours. Smoke odor bonds to structural materials, insulation, and personal property.

Attempting to clean fire damage with standard household methods almost never works — it often pushes contamination deeper into porous materials. Proper fire and smoke restoration requires specialized equipment, specific cleaning agents, and experienced technicians who understand what each type of residue requires.

Our Process

  1. 01
    Emergency Board-Up & Tarping

    Fire often compromises windows, doors, and the roof. We secure the structure immediately to prevent additional weather damage, vandalism, and liability exposure while restoration planning happens.

  2. 02
    Damage Assessment & Scope

    A thorough walk-through documents the extent of fire, smoke, soot, and water damage (from fire suppression). We identify what can be cleaned, what needs to be rebuilt, and what requires specialty treatment.

  3. 03
    Debris Removal & Demo

    Charred material, compromised structural components, and unsalvageable contents are removed. The structure is prepared for cleaning and rebuilding.

  4. 04
    Soot & Smoke Cleaning

    Different residue types require different approaches. Dry soot is vacuumed and dry-sponged; wet smoke residue uses chemical solvents; protein residue from kitchen fires requires enzyme-based treatment. We don't use one method for all types.

  5. 05
    Deodorization

    Thermal fogging, ozone treatment, and hydroxyl generation neutralize smoke odor molecules at the structural level — not just masking with fragrance. We don't call the job done until the odor is gone.

  6. 06
    Rebuild & Restoration

    From framing and drywall to flooring and paint, we complete the rebuild so you return to a fully restored property — not a partially-repaired one handed off to a separate contractor.

Working With Your Insurance

Fire claims are among the larger residential and commercial insurance claims. We document the scope thoroughly — photos, measurements, material specifications, and line-item records — so your adjuster has what they need to process the claim accurately. Our documentation doesn't inflate scope; it reflects it accurately so there are no disputes or surprises mid-project.
