Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration

From the night of the fire to the final walkthrough: board-up, soot and odor removal, claim support, and a complete rebuild.

Firefighter spraying water on a burning house

A house fire leaves more behind than what burned. Smoke and soot travel through the whole home, water from firefighting soaks into walls and floors, and an open roof or broken windows invite weather and intruders. Every day of delay adds damage.

Premier Restoration Services handles all of it. We secure the property the night of the fire, document every room for your insurance claim, remove what cannot be saved, clean and deodorize what can, and rebuild the rest. Our team is IICRC-certified in fire and smoke restoration and odor control.

Our process

  1. 01

    Secure

    We board up openings, tarp the roof, and make the property safe, usually the same night.

  2. 02

    Document

    Every room is photographed and scanned with iGUIDE 3D imaging so nothing is missed in the claim.

  3. 03

    Estimate

    We build a detailed Xactimate estimate and meet with your adjuster on site to agree on the scope.

  4. 04

    Clean out

    Damaged materials are removed, and salvageable surfaces and contents are cleaned of soot.

  5. 05

    Deodorize

    Odor is removed at the source with cleaning, sealing, and odor-control equipment, not covered up.

  6. 06

    Rebuild

    Architect drawings and permits as needed, then a full rebuild managed by one of our project managers.

What to do right now

  • Do not enter the home until the fire department says it is safe.
  • Do not turn on utilities or HVAC that may be damaged.

Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration FAQ

Questions we hear most.

01 How soon can you board up my house after a fire?

We are on call 24/7 with a stocked emergency response vehicle, and in most cases we secure the property the same night.

02 Can smoke odor really be removed?

Yes. Smoke odor lives in porous materials, so we remove what is too damaged, clean and seal what remains, and use professional odor-control equipment. Our team is IICRC-certified in odor control.

03 Do I have to use the contractor my insurance company recommends?

No. You can choose your own contractor. Insurers may suggest preferred vendors, but the decision is yours, and we work for you, not the insurance company.

04 Can we make changes to the layout during the rebuild?

Yes. Many customers use the rebuild to make improvements. We separate insurance-covered work from upgrades so the claim stays clean.
