A free inspection of the fire damage
The inspection is free. Ask which rooms will need to be cleared of belongings for the work, so you can plan with the contents company early. 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 you. Our photos, notes and measurements go to the adjuster promptly, because a claim that waits on paperwork keeps you out of your home longer, and each one is labeled by room.
We help you get the most from your claim
Trim, closet shelving, cabinet interiors and light fixtures are easy to leave off a quick estimate. We itemize these smaller materials room by room, with photo documentation for the insurance claim. The carrier decides what it pays, but a complete list leaves less to miss.
Financing if you need it
Your insurer pays to put back what you had. If you want to change the layout or pick better finishes while walls are open, the difference is yours to cover. Financing makes those choices possible, and your deductible qualifies 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...

How we handle fire cleanup in Oakland Township, MI
Step 1. You call and we secure the house
Before we put up board-ups, step back and photograph the outside of the house from the yard and the road. Once plywood covers the broken glass and forced doors, that evidence is hidden. Then we secure every opening the fire or the firefighters left behind.
Step 2. We inspect the fire and smoke damage
A pot left on a burner leaves protein residue: a nearly invisible yellow film with a strong, sour smell. It clings to cabinets, ceilings and the inside of drawers. Our technician checks for it in rooms far from the kitchen, because missing it means the odor keeps coming back.
Step 3. We remove water, soot and debris
We extract standing water, then pull out charred drywall, soaked insulation and ruined flooring. Please don't burn charred lumber or drywall in a backyard fire, because Oakland Township doesn't allow burning construction materials. We haul the debris away, and drying equipment runs until the structure is dry.
Step 4. We clean and deodorize
Cleaning and soot removal come first on every surface, then we treat the odor that remains and check the smell again after the house has been closed up for a while. If a smell persists, we look for the material still holding it, rather than covering it.
Step 5. We rebuild and handle the paperwork
The company that boarded up your house also handles the reconstruction, so nothing gets lost between crews. Rebuild work usually needs permits and inspections, and we plan the schedule around them. You and the insurer both get our invoice, and we ask for payment to come straight to us.

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 restoration questions from Oakland Township
Questions we get from our customers' and our answers.
Why is there soot upstairs in my Oakland Township home when the fire was in the basement?
Heat drives smoke upward, so a basement or first-floor fire sends it through stairways, floor registers and the gaps around plumbing and wiring. It cools as it climbs and leaves soot on upper walls, ceilings and closet shelves. That's why our restoration process takes in every floor, from the basement up, and every surface with smoke damage.
Do you also dry out the water from fighting a fire in Oakland Township?
Yes. Fire hoses put down a lot of water, and it soaks into drywall, flooring and insulation and often drains to the lowest level. Left wet, it turns into water damage and mold. We remove and dry that water as part of the fire job, and it usually counts toward the fire claim; your adjuster decides.
Can you restore our belongings after a fire in Oakland Township?
No, and we'd rather tell you now. We repair and restore the structure: framing, drywall, trim, flooring and built-in cabinetry. Furniture, clothing, artwork and electronics belong with a contents company, a separate business, often under a different part of your claim. Keep everything until it has been photographed and listed, and ask your adjuster early.
When can I go back inside my Oakland Township home after a fire, and what should I grab?
A fire official or building inspector decides when it's safe, not us. They may keep the house closed. If you're allowed a quick trip, collect your wallet, phone, medicine, glasses and papers like your insurance policy. Wear closed shoes, leave electricity and gas off, and throw out anything edible that was near the heat or smoke.
Is your inspection in Oakland Township a commitment or the start of a claim?
Neither. The inspection costs nothing, nothing is reported to your insurer and you don't have to hire us. Only the policyholder can file a fire claim, and you choose your contractor even when your insurer prefers its own. Securing the house and pumping out water shouldn't wait for the adjuster, since the policy asks you to limit further damage.
