Fire & Smoke Damage Repaired & Rebuilt

What's Included
Structural Assessment
We verify the integrity of walls, beams, and floors before repairs begin.
Debris & Burned Material Removal
Burned materials are removed safely and completely to prepare for rebuilding.
Smoke Mapping
We trace how far smoke traveled through the property — including hidden cavities, HVAC, and rooms far from the fire. Critical for a complete insurance claim.
Soot & Residue Treatment
Corrosive soot is treated on all surfaces. Left untreated, soot continues to damage materials long after the fire is out.
Odor Elimination
We address smoke odor at the source — in wall cavities, ductwork, and structural materials — not just on the surface.
HVAC Smoke Treatment
Ductwork and systems that spread and hold smoke are treated thoroughly to protect air quality before the rebuild.
Secondary Water Damage Repairs
Firefighting water causes additional structural damage that is repaired and rebuilt as part of the same project.
Structural Repair & Rebuild
We rebuild to current code — from framing and systems through every finish.
Finish Work
We match or exceed your property's pre-loss condition, fully documented for your carrier.

Fire Damage FAQ
Yes — always together. Smoke damage is treated and addressed as an integral part of every fire repair and rebuild, not an add-on. Smoke and soot travel far beyond the burn area and must be dealt with throughout the entire property.
