Why Commerce Township homeowners trust us with fire damage repair
We're on site in about an hour
Homes and commercial buildings get the same emergency service day or night: a person answers, and a crew usually arrives in about an hour. Until then, wait in a car or at a neighbor's, and keep children and pets away from soot, since smoke residue irritates lungs and skin.
A free inspection of the fire damage
Nobody should gut a room on a guess. Our free inspection may include test-cleaning a small patch of cabinet, trim or drywall to see whether it comes clean. We're an IICRC Certified Firm, certified by the IICRC for fire and smoke restoration and odor control.
We work directly with your insurance company
We work directly with whichever insurance company covers you. Some insurers send an outside adjuster rather than one of their own staff, and we work with whoever is assigned the same way, sending the same photos and notes. You still make every decision about your claim.
We help you get the most from your claim
Some insurers will advance part of a fire claim for urgent needs, so it's worth asking your adjuster. On the structure, we document every damaged area room by room and push for all your insurance claim allows, without promising what gets paid.
Financing if you need it
Opening walls after a fire sometimes turns up older problems, like rot from a slow leak, that aren't part of the fire damage at all. Financing is available for those repairs, for your deductible, or for any other cost the policy leaves to you.

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...

How our fire cleanup works in Commerce Township
Step 1. You call and we secure the house
Once everyone is safe, call our 24/7 line, and a crew comes to put board-ups over broken windows and damaged doors. Be careful with anyone who shows up uninvited offering to fix the house, and check who they are before you sign anything.
Step 2. We inspect the fire and smoke damage
Bathroom exhaust fans pull smoke in if they were running during the fire, and the fan housing and the duct above it hold soot and odor. Our technician checks each fan along with the walls and ceilings, and documents every room in photos.
Step 3. We remove water, soot and debris
Melted plastic from blinds, light covers and appliances sticks to floors and countertops, and it has to be scraped up before cleaning can start. Water extraction and drying equipment go in first, and burned drywall, insulation and carpet leave the house as debris.
Step 4. We clean and deodorize
Air fresheners and scented candles only cover smoke odor for a while, then the smell comes back. Soot removal and cleaning come first, so we take residue off walls, ceilings and fixtures, take out the porous materials that hold the smell, and then treat whatever odor is left.
Step 5. We rebuild and handle the paperwork
Our own crew does the reconstruction, so you won't need a second contractor. You pay your deductible, and we send our invoice and documentation to you and your insurer and ask the insurer to pay the rest directly, so you aren't fronting the cost.

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.

Commerce Township fire damage questions, answered
Questions we get from our customers' and our answers.
How does smoke from one burned room reach every corner of a Commerce Township home?
Smoke travels through a house in minutes, carried up the stairs, along hallways and into closets by the hot air of the fire. Its particles are tiny, so they settle as a thin film you may not even see, and that film is what holds the smell. Our restoration process follows that smoke damage room by room, wherever the odor leads.
Will you also deal with the water firefighters sprayed into our Commerce Township home?
Yes. The water used to put out a house fire soaks drywall and subfloors and drains into the basement, and that water damage can lead to mold if it sits. Drying it out is part of the fire job, starting with water extraction. Insurers usually treat it as part of the same claim, though it's your adjuster who confirms it.
Do you restore furniture, clothes and other belongings after a fire in Commerce Township?
No. We restore the structure: framing, drywall, ceilings, floors and fixed cabinets. Furniture, clothing and other belongings are handled by a contents specialist, a different company, and many policies list them under separate coverage. Photograph each item and write it down before it goes out with the trash, because the adjuster will want to see what you lost.
How do I know when I can go back into my Commerce Township home, and what should I grab?
Firefighters or a building inspector will tell you when it's safe, and we never make that call. If they allow a short visit, take medication, eyeglasses, your phone and charger, wallet, keys and documents like passports and insurance papers. Leave the power and gas off, and toss any food or drinks that smoke or heat reached.
If you inspect my Commerce Township house, does that start an insurance claim or tie me to you?
No to both. A free inspection reports nothing to your insurer and doesn't bind you to hire us. A claim opens only if you, the policyholder, file one, and you pick the contractor even if the insurer suggests another. Get the board-up and drying started now, since policies expect you to limit further damage.
