A home can survive the fire and still be unsafe to live in.
Left in the materials, smoke residue can keep releasing odor and irritants for months or years, not just until the next cleaning.
First we make the building safe and stop the damage from getting worse: emergency board-up, roof tarping, and shutting out weather and intruders while everything else gets sorted out. This often happens the same day you call.
We walk the property with you, document everything for your insurance claim, and identify what can be saved and what can't. You'll understand the scope before any work or money is committed, not after.
We extract the water left behind from putting the fire out, then remove charred and unsalvageable materials down to sound structure, with containment so soot doesn't spread further.
We clean soot from surfaces, structure, and the belongings that can be saved, using the right methods for the type of smoke rather than one machine for everything. Your things get handled like they matter, because they do.
This is where the smell actually goes away. We treat and seal the materials that held the smoke, address the HVAC system, and deodorize the air, so the odor doesn't creep back weeks later.
Once the structure is clean and dry, we rebuild what was lost: framing, drywall, flooring, paint, the finish work that makes it home again. The same team that secured the property puts it back together.
A significant fire is a long recovery. We'd rather tell you that up front than promise a quick turnaround we can't keep. You'll get a realistic timeline, and updates as it changes.
Most families stay elsewhere during the heavier work. We'll help you understand what your policy's loss-of-use coverage should handle, so that part is less of a surprise.
We separate what can be saved from what can't, document it for your claim, and clean and store the keepers with care. Nothing important gets thrown out without your say.
You should never be left wondering what's happening with your own home. You'll hear from us regularly, even when the update is a hard one.
Most fire and smoke damage from an accidental fire is covered, but the details are where it gets hard. Coverage limits, what counts as salvageable, smoke damage to belongings, and loss-of-use for housing are all common sticking points. After events like the Marshall Fire, many affected homeowners learned they were underinsured. We help you understand what your policy actually covers and document the claim thoroughly, so nothing legitimate gets missed.
No. Be careful about anyone who shows up at your door after a fire and pushes you to sign on the spot, especially an “assignment of benefits.” That can hand your insurance rights to a contractor and cost you control of your own claim. A legitimate company gives you time to think. We do.
Soot and smoke cleanup on a contained fire often starts around $2,000 to $6,000. Structural fire damage runs higher, into five figures, once the rebuild is part of the scope.
