If you're at the hospital or busy with family, a relative or a neighbor can make the call for you. Our 24/7 emergency service takes calls for houses and commercial buildings alike, and most times a crew is at the door within about an hour.
A free inspection of the fire damage
The inspection is free. We look for thin gray lines along carpet edges and under doors, where air squeezed through and left soot behind, since they show which rooms the smoke reached. 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 covers the house. If your policy papers burned or are stuck inside, your insurer's app, website or agent can send the policy number and a full copy, which you'll want close at hand.
We help you get the most from your claim
Adjusters often focus on the room that burned. Make sure the attic and basement get looked at too, since smoke rises into one and hose water drains into the other. We document both and push for everything your policy allows, though how much the insurer pays is its decision alone.
Financing if you need it
Livonia is in Michigan's fire insurance withholding program, so when damage tops about half the home's insured value, the insurer may send part of the settlement to the city to hold until repairs are done. Financing can carry the work while that money waits, and it covers your deductible too.

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...

Fire damage repair in Livonia, MI, from first call to rebuild
Step 1. You call and we secure the house
Phone our 24/7 line after your family is out, and the crew closes up smashed windows and pried-open doors with board-ups once the house is released. If the gas or electric company tagged a meter after the fire, leave it alone, since only the utility restores service.
Step 2. We inspect the fire and smoke damage
A thin smoke film often hides under ordinary room light. Our technician shines a flashlight low along walls and ceilings, which shows the film clearly, then records how far it spread and takes photos room by room for the assessment and our documentation.
Step 3. We remove water, soot and debris
Hose water slips under toilets, tubs and vanities, where it can soften the subfloor unseen, so a toilet or vanity may come up to let the floor dry. We extract standing water, haul charred material out as debris and run drying equipment until readings show the floor is dry.
Step 4. We clean and deodorize
Cleaning starts with handrails, doorknobs and light switches, because every hand that touches them carries soot to the next surface. Soot removal then works through walls, ceilings and trim, and once that residue is off, we treat whatever odor remains.
Step 5. We rebuild and handle the paperwork
Our own crew handles the reconstruction, from framing to finish paint, and you and your insurer both get our bill, with our request to be paid by the insurer directly. Before the new drywall goes up, snap photos of the open walls, which show where pipes and wires run.

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.

Livonia fire cleanup questions and answers
Questions we get from our customers' and our answers.
Why does my whole Livonia house smell of smoke when only the kitchen burned?
In a one-story house, a single attic often spans every room. Smoke that rises into it through a hatch, light fixtures or gaps around pipes can spread across the whole attic and settle back down into rooms far from the kitchen. That residue is smoke damage too, and the odor clings to it, which is why our restoration process takes in every room and the attic itself.
Will your crew also dry out the water firefighters left in my Livonia house?
Yes. The hose water and the fire are a single job. It drains into wall cavities, under flooring and down to the basement. A floor can look dry in a day while the drywall and insulation stay wet inside, and that hidden water damage invites mold. We handle water extraction and drying alongside the soot work, and most insurers pay for it within the fire claim, though your adjuster has the last word.
Do you clean furniture and clothing after a house fire in Livonia?
No. Our work is the building: framing, drywall, ceilings, floors and the cabinets fixed in place. A contents company, a different business from ours, takes care of belongings, and your policy likely treats them as their own part of the insurance claim. If there's something you hope to save, photograph it, set it apart and point it out to your adjuster before anything is discarded.
How do I know when it's safe to go back into my Livonia home, and what should I bring out?
Firefighters or a city building inspector give the all-clear, not our crew, and the doors may stay shut while the wiring, gas or structure is in question. If you get a few minutes inside, bring a bag and go straight for medicine, glasses, phones, wallets and important papers. Don't touch the breakers or gas valve, and get rid of any food the heat or smoke got near.
Will your inspection of my Livonia house start an insurance claim or lock me in?
No to both. The inspection is free, sends nothing to your insurer and puts you under no obligation to hire us. It can help you decide whether to file at all, which is your decision as the policyholder, and the contractor is always your choice. If you do file, the board-up and drying shouldn't wait on the adjuster, because a policy holds owners to protecting the house from more damage.
