Fire Damage Restoration

Once the fire department clears the property, don't re-enter until it's declared safe. Then call a restoration company right away—your property is vulnerable to weather, intrusion, and ongoing smoke and water damage. We provide emergency board-up and tarping, and we can be anywhere in Orange County within an hour.

It depends on the extent of the damage. Smoke odor, soot, and reconstruction work can make parts of the home unlivable temporarily. We'll assess your situation honestly, and if relocation is needed, we can help coordinate temporary accommodations with your insurance.
