Fire & Smoke Damage
After The Fire, and After The Water
Board-up, suppression-water extraction, soot and odor removal, electrical made safe, and the whole thing rebuilt. On a fire loss the water is usually the bigger job. We handle both, plus the reconstruction, under one contract.

The fire stops. The water keeps going.
People are usually surprised by how much of a fire loss is a water loss. Suppression puts thousands of gallons into the structure in minutes, sprinklers run until somebody shuts the valve, and all of it soaks into framing, insulation, and subfloor that was already compromised by heat.
So a fire restoration project is really three projects running at once: get the water out before mold starts, clean the soot before it etches and stains permanently, and make the electrical safe before anyone turns a breaker back on.
All three start on day one, and the rebuild that follows stays with the same team, which on a project this long is the difference between finishing in months and finishing in a year.
Suppression water is usually the bigger scope. Drying starts the same day.
Everything from the board-up to the final coat.
No handoff to a second contractor halfway through the hardest project you will ever manage.
Emergency Board-Up & Tarping
Openings secured and roof covered on the first visit, so weather and trespass do not add a second loss on top of the first.
Suppression Water Extraction
The thousands of gallons the fire department and sprinklers left behind, extracted and dried before the structure starts growing mold.
Soot & Residue Cleanup
Surfaces, contents, and cavities cleaned according to the residue type. Protein, wet smoke, and dry soot each behave differently.
Odor Treatment
Source material removed or treated, rather than masked, plus HVAC cleaning so the system stops recirculating the smell.
Electrical Safety Assessment
Heat-degraded conductors, soot-fouled panels, and water-damaged equipment assessed by our own C-10 crew before power is restored.
Full Reconstruction
Framing, drywall, flooring, finishes, and electrical rebuilt under our General B license, same contract, same schedule.
Before You Turn The Power Back On
Heat damages wiring without leaving a mark.
Conductor insulation degrades at temperatures far below anything that looks burnt. Soot is mildly conductive and corrosive. Suppression water gets into panels, junction boxes, and equipment and keeps corroding long after everything appears dry.
Most restoration companies subcontract this assessment. We are a C-10 electrical contractor. It is the part of the job we started from.
