Why Canton families call us first for fire cleanup
We're on site in about an hour
Our emergency service runs 24/7 for both homes and commercial buildings, with a real person on the phone. A crew is usually on site in about an hour, though heavy snow or traffic can stretch that, so ask for an expected arrival time when you call.
A free inspection of the fire damage
The inspection is free. In newer homes, the attic framing is often trusses joined by thin metal plates, and strong heat can loosen those plates, so we look at the trusses above the fire. We're an IICRC Certified Firm, IICRC certified for fire and smoke restoration and odor control.
We work directly with your insurance company
We work directly with your insurance company, whichever one it is. Your agent sold the policy, but the adjuster handles the claim, so send claim questions to the adjuster and keep your agent posted. Questions about the structure and smoke damage can come to us.
We help you get the most from your claim
Protecting the rooms the fire missed takes real work, such as covering floors, stairs and railings before the crew carries debris past them. That labor belongs on the estimate, so we list it. We push for all your policy allows, but the carrier's decision on payment is its own.
Financing if you need it
If you moved in recently, your savings may have gone into the down payment and moving costs. Financing can cover your deductible and any repair your coverage leaves unpaid, so the rebuild can start without draining what's left in the bank.

Response came out to our house when we had water issues with our attic and potential mold growth. They dispatched a project manager to came out same day and provided advice regarding insurance, let us know what to expect for the work, and sent a crew out the next day. Everything moved quickly and smoothly...

Our five-step fire damage repair process in Canton, MI
Step 1. You call and we secure the house
Call our 24/7 line when everyone is safe, and the crew comes to board up broken glass and forced doors once the fire department gives the go-ahead. If officials let you in, close and lock any windows firefighters opened that still work, so only broken ones need a board-up.
Step 2. We inspect the fire and smoke damage
Plenty of newer houses have living space built over the garage, so a garage fire sends heat and smoke straight into the floor above. Our technician inspects the ceiling of the garage and the floor of that upstairs room, and photographs both for our documentation.
Step 3. We remove water, soot and debris
Demolition debris usually goes into a large container in the driveway, so plan where your cars will park for a few days. Inside, water extraction comes first, then charred drywall, insulation and flooring come out, and drying equipment runs until the framing reads dry.
Step 4. We clean and deodorize
Walls, ceilings and trim go through soot removal and cleaning first, with odor treatment after the residue is off. When a room is done, a clean white cloth wiped across a wall should come away clean, and if it picks up gray, the room needs another pass.
Step 5. We rebuild and handle the paperwork
Our crew handles the reconstruction. Canton Township is in Michigan's fire insurance withholding program, so after a large fire, part of the settlement may be held until repairs are done. A repair contract filed with the insurer within 15 days of settling, paying the contractor directly, can avoid that.

Wonderful experience during such a stressful time. They came out immediately, the employees were extremely polite and respectful, and kept me updated every step of the way. They also helped guide me through the insurance claims process which seemed overwhelming at first. I would definitely recommend.

Fire damage cleanup questions from Canton homeowners
Questions we get from our customers' and our answers.
How did smoke reach the upstairs bedrooms of my Canton house when the fire was downstairs?
Open floor plans and two-story entries leave few walls or doors to slow smoke down, so it rises quickly to the upper hall and spreads into any bedroom with an open door. As it cools, it leaves a thin residue on walls, ceilings and carpet that holds the odor. That's why the upstairs rooms are part of our restoration process even when they look clean.
Does the water from the firefighters' hoses in my Canton home get handled too?
Yes, we treat it as part of the fire. After a second-floor fire, hose water often comes through the ceiling below and soaks the rooms underneath, then reaches the basement. Left wet, drywall and insulation can grow mold, so we use water extraction and drying during the soot cleanup, not after it. Insurers usually count that water damage under the fire claim, and your adjuster confirms it.
Will you clean our furniture and belongings after a fire in our Canton home?
No, and it helps to know that early. We repair the house itself, from the framing out to the drywall, ceilings, floors and fixed cabinets. Anything you could pack in a moving box, like clothing or electronics, goes to a contents company, and many policies cover those things under a different section of the insurance claim. Smoke gets inside closets and drawers too, so photograph and list what's in them before anything goes out.
When is it safe to go back inside my Canton home, and what can I take with me?
Fire officials or the township's building official decide, never us, and they may keep the house closed while the gas, wiring or framing is a risk. On a brief visit, grab prescriptions, eyeglasses, wallets, phones, papers, plus anything the kids need for school. Don't switch on power or gas yourself, and throw out food the heat or smoke reached.
Does your inspection of my Canton home open an insurance claim or tie me to you?
No. The inspection is free, puts nothing on file with your insurer and doesn't tie you to us. Only you, as the policyholder, can file a fire claim. Your insurer may hand you a list of contractors, and you're free to use one of them or someone else. Go ahead with the board-up and drying before the adjuster's visit, since insurers expect owners to prevent further damage.
