Complete fire and smoke restoration in Orlando. Emergency board-up, smoke and soot removal, odor elimination, water damage from firefighting, full structural rebuild. One company, start to finish.
What Happens After a Fire — Time Is Critical Even After Flames Are Out
Most homeowners don't realize the fire itself is only part of the damage. Soot continues destroying surfaces for days. Water from firefighting causes mold within 48 hours. Smoke permeates every room through the HVAC. The clock starts the moment the fire is extinguished.
Soot is acidic and begins permanently etching metal, appliances, and fixtures. Smoke penetrates HVAC and spreads odor throughout the home. Every surface exposed to soot is deteriorating.
Plastic and metal surfaces begin discoloring and corroding. Painted walls absorb smoke and odor. Countertops and cabinets can be permanently stained. Water from firefighting begins causing secondary mold risk.
Soot penetrates deeper into porous surfaces. Electronics corrode from acidic soot. Grout, tile, and wood absorb smoke compounds. Salvageable contents narrow with each day.
Many surfaces that could have been cleaned now require replacement. Mold may begin in areas affected by firefighting water. Smoke odor becomes embedded throughout the structure.

Complete Fire Restoration — 8 Steps to Move-In Ready
Fire restoration is the most complex type of residential restoration — it combines fire damage, smoke remediation, water damage, and full reconstruction into a single coordinated scope of work.
Emergency Securing & Board-Up
Immediately after the fire department clears the scene, we board up windows, doors, and any openings. This prevents weather intrusion, vandalism, and further damage. A secured structure protects your insurance claim.
Assessment & Documentation
Complete photo and video documentation before any work begins. Every damaged surface, item, and structural element is catalogued. This documentation is the foundation of your insurance claim.
Smoke & Soot Removal
Dry soot is removed with HEPA vacuuming and specialized dry sponges before any wet cleaning. Wet cleaning before dry removal pushes soot deeper into surfaces. Walls, ceilings, cabinets, and all non-porous surfaces are treated.
Odor Elimination
A multi-method approach: thermal fogging reaches inside wall cavities and penetrates where surface cleaning cannot. Hydroxyl generators or ozone treatment for airborne odor. HVAC cleaning including all ductwork. Sealing primers on structural surfaces.
Water Damage From Firefighting
Firefighting water causes significant damage that must be addressed simultaneously. We extract standing water, deploy drying equipment, and prevent mold from developing in water-damaged areas.
Structural Assessment & Debris Removal
Structural engineers assess any areas of structural concern from the fire itself. Damaged materials — charred framing, drywall, insulation — are removed carefully with documentation for your insurance claim.
Contents Restoration or Pack-Out
Salvageable contents are cleaned on-site or packed out to our facility for specialized cleaning. Clothing, documents, electronics, and furniture are assessed individually for restoration potential.
Full Reconstruction
From framing to drywall to flooring to paint — we rebuild everything. One company handles the complete scope from emergency call to move-in ready. Your insurance adjuster deals with one point of contact.

📞 321-420-7274Every Type of Fire-Related Damage We Address
Fire events create multiple simultaneous damage types. We address all of them — not just the fire damage itself.
Structural Fire Damage
Charred or weakened framing, burned subflooring, compromised roof structures. Structural integrity is assessed by a licensed engineer before reconstruction begins.
Smoke & Soot on Surfaces
Soot coats every surface in a smoke-affected home — walls, ceilings, inside cabinets. Acidic soot begins permanent damage within hours of a fire.
Smoke Odor — Full Home
Smoke travels through HVAC systems and penetrates every room, not just fire-affected areas. Odor embedded in walls, furniture, and ductwork requires multi-step elimination.
Water Damage From Firefighting
Thousands of gallons of water are used to extinguish a house fire. This water must be extracted and dried with the same rigor as any major water damage event.
Contents & Electronics
Appliances, electronics, furniture, clothing, and personal property. We assess each item for restoration viability and document everything for your insurance personal property claim.
Electrical Systems
Fire frequently damages electrical wiring, panels, and fixtures. Electrical systems are evaluated by a licensed electrician before any reconstruction work begins.
How We Permanently Eliminate Smoke Odor
Smoke odor cannot be masked with air fresheners or surface cleaning alone. Eliminating it permanently requires reaching every place smoke traveled — including inside walls, HVAC ducts, and structural cavities.
A heated chemical fog is released that penetrates into the same areas smoke reached — inside wall cavities, above ceiling tiles, inside cabinets. The fog chemically bonds with and neutralizes smoke odor compounds. Highly effective for reaching areas physical cleaning cannot.
Industrial ozone generators produce ozone (O3) which oxidizes and permanently destroys odor molecules on contact. Extremely effective for severe odor, but the home must be unoccupied during treatment and properly ventilated afterward.
Produce hydroxyl radicals that destroy odor molecules. Unlike ozone, hydroxyl treatment is safe for occupied spaces and can be used simultaneously with other restoration work. Slower but highly effective for ongoing odor control.
Smoke travels through the entire HVAC system. Ductwork is cleaned with specialized brushing and vacuum equipment. If the system has absorbed significant smoke, the air handler and ductwork may need to be sealed or replaced.
On structural surfaces where odor has penetrated deeply, specialized sealing primers lock in remaining odor compounds before drywall is installed. This prevents odor from re-emerging through new finishes.
What Can Be Saved After a Fire
Not everything in a fire-damaged home needs to be replaced. We assess every item individually and give you an honest evaluation of restoration versus replacement — because restoration costs less and preserves irreplaceable items.
Often Restorable
- Hard, non-porous items (glass, ceramics, metals)
- Clothing and fabrics (with pack-out ultrasonic cleaning)
- Some electronics (depending on heat and soot exposure)
- Documents and photographs (specialized recovery)
- Wood furniture with surface soot only
Often Replaced
- Upholstered furniture in directly affected rooms
- Mattresses and bedding exposed to smoke
- Food items and open containers
- Medications exposed to heat or smoke
- Insulation and drywall in fire zones
Our Pack-Out Process
For items that require specialized cleaning, we pack them out to our facility for treatment — removing the contamination and associated odor from your home while restoration proceeds.
