Why Lapeer County homeowners call us first for fire damage cleanup
We get out there in about an hour
Our line is answered by a person at any hour of any day, every day of the year. Lapeer County addresses are normally reached in about an hour. Out here that hour counts for a lot, because a fire in a rural township can burn longer before it is knocked down, and the longer it burns the further the smoke gets through the building.
The walkthrough costs nothing
Free means free. We come out, go through the property with you, and there is nothing to put your name to. We stop short of a final price at that visit. On a fire loss the real scope shows up once surfaces are opened and cleaned, and any figure given before that point is invented.
We handle the carrier side of it
Your insurer gets the documentation the claim needs, photos, moisture readings and scope notes, and you get the same paperwork as well. We talk with your adjuster and with any trades working the property. Carriers sometimes lean on you to use a company from their own list. That is not a requirement. You choose who works on your building.
A local business, at this for a long while
We are based in Rochester Hills, and we have been doing restoration work for a long while. Our founders came up through construction, contracting and cleaning. That is why we look past the blackened wall in front of us and check what the heat did to the framing behind it, the floor under it and the insulation above it.
We understand rural property out here
Much of Lapeer County is farmhouses, outbuildings and homes on acreage rather than streets of similar houses. Plenty of those properties sit well away from a hydrant, so departments truck water in. A fire that takes longer to put out puts more smoke and more water into the building, and that is the condition we usually find when we arrive.

Our restoration project took several months to complete. If you’re going through an insurance claim, be patient, as the process itself can take time. Dandre, who inspected the damage, prepared the estimate, and worked with our insurance company, was knowledgeable, professional, and very helpful throughout the...

We found out we had a water leak from our bathroom tub when we brought our newborn home this past winter. It unfortunately needed to be a complete restoration which my husband and I had never gone through before. We were paired with Michelle as our project manager/overseer during this. I have nothing but amazing...

Same story as at least one other reviewer. Our ice maker water line started leaking and created a bigger mess than we realized. Our plumber recommended Response Flood & Fire for mitigation, and they were out the very next day drying out our kitchen floor and basement ceiling. Austin and Clayton were both amazing to...

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.

The water line to our ice maker burst and caused a huge mess. Once the plumber discovered where the leak was, he recommended Response Flood & Fire for mitigation. They responded FAST and had dryers going for the floor in our kitchen and basement. Austin was our Mitigation Project Manager, he and everyone on his...

I cannot say enough positive things about our experience with this company. We had significant flooding after a plumbing repair job went wildly wrong over the weekend. Ryan and Mike did an excellent job, start to finish, in remediating the damage. They were very responsive, professional, and definitely know their...
Our fire damage repair process in Lapeer County, MI
Step 1. You call, a person picks up
Our line is answered by a person at any hour of any day. We ask what happened, whether the fire service is finished and whether the building is safe to enter. We tell you what to do while you wait. Then a crew heads out, and most of Lapeer County is about an hour from us.
Step 2. The free walkthrough
We walk the property with you before anything else happens. It costs nothing and there is no form at the end of it. We tell you what the fire took, how far the smoke moved and where we think water has collected. You hear the plan before we act on it.
Step 3. We close the building up
Openings get boarded and covered. Windows, doors and any hole cut in the roof for ventilation. Out here that matters, because properties often sit well back from the road and an open building can stand exposed for days. We also check that the structure is safe to work in before anyone starts.
Step 4. Cleaning the structure and chasing the water
Then the building. Soot and smoke residue come off surfaces that can be saved, and anything too damaged is removed. We restore the structure only. Belongings go to a contents company, and we can give you a name. Rural fires usually take a lot of water to put out, so we find where it went and dry the building before mold starts. Equipment is cleaned and decontaminated before placement, and a crew works four to eight hours on a site day.
Step 5. Paperwork, and the carrier
We price from a current Xactimate list so the invoice speaks the same language as your adjuster. Invoices follow three to five business days after we finish, with payment due in thirty days. On an open claim we give your adjuster the documentation the claim needs, and we stay in that conversation. If a carrier covers less than the work came to, we will walk you through the detail line by line. GreenSky financing is available.

“Our restoration project took several months to complete. If you’re going through an insurance claim, be patient, as the process itself can take time. Dandre, who inspected the damage, prepared the estimate, and worked with our insurance company, was knowledgeable, professional, and very helpful throughout the process. Michelle, our project manager, was always responsive, caring, and worked hard to make sure everything was done right. The restoration work was completed by Leo and Augie, and they were outstanding. Leo replaced our tile, completed the plumbing work, repaired our closet organizer, and paid close attention to every detail. Augie did an excellent job painting. They were respectful, hardworking, and treated our home as if it were their own. Overall, although the process took time, the final result was excellent. Thank you, Dandre, Michelle, Leo, and Augie, for your professionalism, dedication, and quality work!”

Common questions about fire damage restoration in Lapeer County, MI
Questions we get from our customers' and our answers.
How long does it take you to reach a property in Lapeer County?
About an hour to most of the county, and our phone is answered by a person at any hour of any day. Rural fires can burn longer before they are under control, which usually means more smoke through the building and more water in it. Getting started sooner limits both. Call us as soon as the fire service hands the property back to you.
Do you handle our possessions after a fire in Lapeer County?
We do not. Our work is the structure. We are not a contents company, and packing out, cleaning or storing belongings goes to a firm that specializes in it. We can put you in touch with one. Before anything gets moved, take pictures of what you have and where it was.
Do you board up homes and outbuildings in Lapeer County?
Yes. Emergency board-up is part of the job and it usually happens on our first visit. Out here a property can sit a long way from the nearest neighbor, so an open building is exposed to the weather and to whoever comes down the road. We close openings in walls, doors and roof so the structure is shut and safe before the rest of the work is scoped.
Who talks to the insurance company on a Lapeer County fire claim?
We do, alongside you. The carrier gets the documentation the claim needs, photos, moisture readings and scope notes, and you get the same paperwork so nothing is out of sight. We speak with the adjuster and with any other trades on the property. Filing the claim is your job, because the policy is yours, but from that point on you are not carrying the conversation by yourself.
What is included in the free Lapeer County fire inspection?
We walk the property with you at no cost, and there is nothing to sign. We tell you what the fire and the smoke reached, where we think the water went, and what we expect to find once surfaces come open. A final price is the one thing we will not give you that day. Fire damage does not show its full size until the cleaning starts.
