Why Rochester families trust us with house fire cleanup
We're on site in about an hour
Before the fire crew leaves, ask the officer in charge for the incident number and write it down, since your insurer will ask for it. A person answers our 24/7 emergency service line for homes and commercial spaces alike, and the crew is about an hour away.
A free inspection of the fire damage
Hardwood floors near a fire take heat from above and hose water from below, and the cupping may not show for days. Our free inspection notes their condition 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 with every insurance company and talk to your adjuster directly. Some insurers need your OK before they discuss a claim with a contractor, so a quick call or email from you to the adjuster naming us gets things moving.
We help you get the most from your claim
Before you agree to a final number, ask your adjuster how the insurer handles damage found later, such as smoke odor turning up in a closet. We push for all your policy allows on your insurance claim, but no one can promise what a carrier pays.
Financing if you need it
Some policies pay the depreciated value of what burned first and release the rest only after the repairs are finished. Financing can bridge that gap so the rebuild doesn't stall while you wait. It can also cover your deductible or work the policy leaves out.

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 and smoke repair works in Rochester, MI
Step 1. You call and we secure the house
Firefighters often break windows or force a door to vent smoke and reach the flames. Once the fire department hands the house back, we cover those openings with temporary board-ups so rain, animals and strangers stay out. Keep your keys, and tell us which doors still lock.
Step 2. We inspect the fire and smoke damage
Heat leaves clues away from the flames: melted outlet covers, warped blinds, cracked window glass and bubbled paint. Our technician follows that trail to see how far the heat traveled through the structure, then record each room with photos and notes for the adjuster.
Step 3. We remove water, soot and debris
Lightly charred studs can often be cleaned and sealed, while deeply burned ones come out, and we check each one rather than guessing. We pull out the standing water and wet debris first, then run drying equipment until the framing reads dry.
Step 4. We clean and deodorize
After a few days in a smoky house, your nose stops noticing the smell. When our cleaning and soot removal in a room is done, ask someone who wasn't there that night to come in, because a fresh nose catches what yours might miss.
Step 5. We rebuild and handle the paperwork
One company stays with you from board-up through reconstruction, so you deal with one schedule, not a cleanup crew plus a separate builder. At the end, we send our invoice and documentation to you and your insurer, then ask the insurer for direct payment.

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.

Rochester house fire questions, answered
Questions we get from our customers' and our answers.
Why does my whole Rochester house smell of smoke when only one room burned?
During a fire, hot air pushes smoke under doors, through return vents and up the stairs into every open space. When it cools, a thin film of soot settles on walls, ceilings and fabrics, even in rooms that look clean. That residue holds the smell, so our restoration process covers the smoke damage in every affected room, not only the burned one.
Is drying out the firefighters' water part of the fire job in Rochester?
Yes, and we treat it as one project with the fire. The hoses push water through ceilings and insulation, and it often collects in the basement or a crawl space, where water damage and mold can follow within days. Water extraction and drying run while the smoke work goes on, and insurers usually pay for it through the fire claim, though your adjuster confirms that.
Do you clean clothes and furniture after a fire in Rochester?
No. We work on the building itself: drywall, ceilings, framing, floors and built-in cabinets. Clothes, furniture and electronics need a contents company, and your policy usually covers them in a separate part of the claim. Photograph and list your belongings before anything is thrown away, and ask your adjuster which contents company they'd suggest.
How soon can my family go back into our Rochester home after a fire?
Only firefighters or a building official can say the house is safe, and we can't make that call for you. If they allow a short visit, grab medications, eyeglasses, phone chargers, wallets, and birth certificates or passports. Leave the power and gas off, wear sturdy shoes, and throw away any food that heat or smoke may have reached.
Will your free inspection in Rochester report anything to my insurer or lock me in?
No. The inspection is free, sends nothing to your insurer, and you aren't locked into hiring us. Only you, the policyholder, can file the claim, and you pick the contractor even if your insurer suggests one. Start securing and drying the house right away, because insurers expect owners to prevent further damage.
