Fire Damage Restoration Services
One Team From Board-Up to Rebuild
Emergency Board-Up & Roof Tarping
A fire leaves your home open to rain, wind, and trespassers. We board up windows and doors and tarp the roof right away, which also shows your insurer you protected the property from further damage.
Fire Debris Removal & Demolition
Before cleanup or rebuilding can start, the burned material has to go. We haul out charred framing, drywall, and flooring, keep sound structure in place, and reinforce weakened areas so the building is safe.
Soot & Smoke Damage Cleaning
Smoke reaches places flames never do, and its acidic soot corrodes metal and stains porous surfaces. We match the cleaning method to each type of residue, from walls and ceilings to electronics and HVAC systems.
Water Removal After Firefighting
The water used to put out a fire soaks into floors, drywall, and framing. We extract it and start structural drying right away, because the EPA says wet materials must dry within 24 to 48 hours to prevent mold.
Contents Cleaning & Pack-Out
Much of what’s inside can be saved. We inventory and pack out your belongings, clean them off-site, and store them securely until your home is rebuilt, then bring everything back.

What to Do After a Fire
Your First 24 Hours After a Fire
What you do in the first day protects both your safety and your insurance claim.
- Wait for the all-clear. Don’t go back inside until the fire department says the building is safe to enter.
- Call your insurer. Report the fire and write down your claim number. You’ll need it for everything that follows.
- Ask about temporary housing. Most homeowners policies cover additional living expenses, such as a hotel and meals, while your home is unlivable.
- Leave the soot alone and keep the HVAC off. Wiping pushes soot deeper into surfaces, and running the system spreads it through the house.
- Throw out exposed food and medicine. Anything that sat in heat or smoke isn’t safe to keep.
- Call ServiceFirst at (855) 883-4778. We’ll secure the property and start documenting the damage.

Our 5-Step Fire Damage Restoration Process
Here’s What Happens After You Call
After a fire, it helps to know what’s coming. Here’s how we take your home from damaged to restored, and roughly how long fire damage restoration takes at each stage.
Hours to days
Assess and Secure
We check that the structure is safe, board up and tarp any openings, and document the damage room by room for your insurance company.
3 to 7 days
Remove Water and Dry
We extract the water left by firefighting and dry floors, walls, and framing with air movers and dehumidifiers before mold can start.
5 to 14 days
Clean Soot and Smoke
We HEPA vacuum and clean soot from every affected surface, clean the ductwork if the HVAC was running, and use thermal fogging where cleaning can’t reach.
Weeks to months
Repair and Rebuild
As a licensed general contractor, we replace drywall, flooring, roofing, insulation, and electrical, working with your insurer so nothing is missed.
Until you’re home
Restore Your Belongings
Furniture, clothing, electronics, and keepsakes are cleaned off-site and returned when your home is ready. Anything that can’t be saved is documented for your claim.
Fire Damage Restoration Cost & Insurance
Less Paperwork for You, Fewer Delays for Your Claim
Every fire is different, so we price each job from an on-site inspection. Cost comes down to four things: how much of the home burned, how far smoke and soot traveled, how much water was used to put the fire out, and how much needs to be rebuilt.
A standard homeowners policy usually covers the dwelling, your contents, and additional living expenses like temporary housing. After a declared state of emergency, such as a major wildfire, the California Department of Insurance says living-expense coverage must last at least 24 months, with extensions available.
We document the damage from day one, work directly with your adjuster, and bill your insurance company, so there’s no up-front payment and no long wait for reimbursement.
