Why Grosse Pointe homeowners choose our fire and smoke cleanup
We're on site in about an hour
When you call, mention roughly how old the house is and whether the walls are plaster, since that shapes how the crew handles the first night's work. Our emergency service takes 24/7 calls from houses and commercial buildings alike, and the crew is typically with you in about an hour.
A free inspection of the fire damage
Our free inspection covers both stairways: many larger older houses have a back staircase as well as the front one, and it can spread smoke damage to rooms the main stairs missed. 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. If you live out of town or look after a parent's house, we can send you the same photos and documentation the adjuster gets, so you can follow the claim from wherever you are.
We help you get the most from your claim
Detailed trim, plaster molding and paneled doors take far longer to clean than flat walls, and a quick estimate may count them as flat surfaces. We list that extra handwork and push for all your policy allows, though payment decisions sit with the insurer.
Financing if you need it
Some policies set the deductible as a percentage of the home's insured value instead of a flat amount, and on a larger house that can be a big number. Financing can cover that deductible, along with any repair the claim 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 we restore a Grosse Pointe home after a fire
Step 1. You call and we secure the house
Once the family is safely outside, phone us any hour, and a board-up goes over each broken window and forced door when firefighters release the house. If a leaded or stained-glass window cracked, tell us, so the crew can plan how to protect it without harming the old frame.
Step 2. We inspect the fire and smoke damage
Heat can cloud, bubble or crack the finish on old oak floors near the fire, even where the wood itself looks sound. Our technician looks at every floor near the burn as well as the walls and ceilings, then photographs what turns up for the assessment.
Step 3. We remove water, soot and debris
If the house heats with radiators and the boiler is off after the fire, its pipes can freeze in cold weather, so ask a heating contractor whether to drain the system. Meanwhile we extract the hose water, haul charred plaster and lath out as debris, and start drying equipment.
Step 4. We clean and deodorize
Some older ceilings carry calcimine, a chalky paint that washes away with water, so soot cleaning there may remove the paint itself, and the ceiling then needs sealing before new paint. Other walls and trim get standard soot removal, and odor treatment follows.
Step 5. We rebuild and handle the paperwork
Our own crew carries out the reconstruction, and copies of our invoice and documentation go to you and the insurer, which we ask to send payment to us. When the rebuild is done, tell your insurance agent about anything new or upgraded, so your policy keeps up with the house.

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.

Your Grosse Pointe fire and smoke questions, answered
Questions we get from our customers' and our answers.
Why does my Grosse Pointe house smell of smoke everywhere after a small fire?
A fire that smolders, like a cord inside a wall or a cushion that never fully caught, can make more smoke than a quick blaze, and it keeps making it for hours. That slow smoke drifts through every room and settles as a residue that holds the odor. Our restoration process follows it through the whole house, including rooms that look clean.
Will you also dry the water firefighters left in my Grosse Pointe home?
Yes, it's part of the fire job. Plaster ceilings can hold hose water above them and then sag or come down without much warning, so stay out from under any stained or bulging ceiling. We handle water extraction and drying with the soot cleanup, before water damage turns to mold, and the fire claim usually covers it, subject to your adjuster.
Can you restore our furniture and heirlooms after a fire in our Grosse Pointe home?
No. We restore the house: its plaster, drywall, framing, floors, ceilings and built-ins. Rugs, furniture, art and heirlooms belong with a contents company, and your policy probably covers them under a separate part of the insurance claim. Antiques may need a specialist, so bring them up with your adjuster soon, and take a photo of each piece before anything is moved or thrown out.
When can we safely go back into our Grosse Pointe home, and what should we take?
Firefighters or a city building official decide that, never us, and the house may stay closed while the structure, wiring or gas is a hazard. If you're let in briefly, take medicine, glasses, hearing aids, phones, wallets and key papers. Don't switch the power or gas back on, and throw out food that's been near the heat or smoke.
Does a free inspection of my Grosse Pointe house open a claim or obligate me?
No. Our inspection doesn't contact your insurer or obligate you in any way, and what we find is yours to share or keep for your own planning. Only the policyholder can file a claim, and you choose who does the work, whatever the insurer suggests. Don't wait on the adjuster to secure and dry the house, because your policy counts on you to limit further harm.
