What We Do

Our Fire Damage Restoration Services

Fire damage rarely stops at the burn zone. Smoke travels through HVAC systems, odors embed into insulation and furniture, and soot leaves acidic residue that continues to damage materials long after the fire is extinguished. Our services are designed to address every layer of damage, visible and hidden.

Emergency board-up and tarping

Securing your property to prevent further damage or unauthorized entry

Smoke damage removal

Cleaning walls, ceilings, and contents affected by soot and residue. Treating materials and surfaces to eliminate corrosion and staining

Odor elimination

Using professional-grade equipment to neutralize smoke odor at the source

Content cleaning

Carefully cleaning and restoring salvageable belongings

Water damage mitigation

Addressing water left behind by firefighting efforts

Structural repairs and reconstruction

Restoring your home from the framing up, if needed

What to Do Immediately After a Fire

Six steps that protect your family, your property and your claim before restoration begins.

Stay Out Until It's Safe

Do not re-enter the property until fire officials declare it safe.

Call a Restoration Company

We can begin emergency services immediately and communicate directly with your adjuster.

Call Your Insurance Company

Report the loss to your insurance company and begin your claim.

Don't Touch Anything

Avoid touching soot or smoke-damaged surfaces; contact can spread residue and make cleaning harder.

Document the Damage

Document the damage with photos if you can safely do so from outside the structure.

Call a Pro, Skip the DIY

The sooner professional emergency restoration begins, the better the outcome, so do not attempt DIY cleaning.

How It Works

Our Fire Restoration Process

Consultation and Assessment

Before any work begins, we perform a thorough inspection and walk you through exactly what we find. We’ll discuss the cause of loss, provide an honest cost estimate, and share what we’ve typically seen in similar situations when it comes to insurance claims.

Mitigation

We secure the property with board-up and tarping, then begin removing non-salvageable materials. Firefighting water is extracted and dried using industrial drying equipment. We monitor progress until all moisture readings meet target standards, then pass full documentation to the repairs phase.

Estimating and Insurance Coordination

Our team takes detailed notes and measurements, prepares a complete repair estimate, and submits it directly to your insurance carrier. We follow up with your adjuster and keep you informed throughout the process so there are no surprises.

Reconstruction

Once the estimate is approved and material selections are made, our dedicated project manager oversees all repairs in-house, from drywall and insulation replacement to full room rebuilds. We handle scheduling, change orders and a final walkthrough to ensure every detail meets your expectations.

Hundreds of Completed Projects

With over 25 years of experience and hundreds of successful mitigation and restoration projects across Clark County, we can handle fire damage of any size.

With a 4.9-star rating based on 92 Google reviews, we have built a reputation for honest communication and quality workmanship.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is fire damage restoration?

Fire damage restoration is the professional process of cleaning, repairing, and rebuilding a property after it has been damaged by fire, smoke, or soot, as well as water used to extinguish the fire. It encompasses everything from emergency stabilization and smoke damage removal to full structural reconstruction, with the goal of returning the property to its pre-loss condition.

How much does fire damage restoration cost?

Costs vary widely depending on the size of the fire, the extent of structural damage, and the amount of smoke and soot penetration. Minor smoke damage may cost a few thousand dollars to remediate, while a major house fire requiring full reconstruction can run into six figures. Most homeowner’s insurance policies cover fire damage restoration, and Country Restoration works directly with insurance carriers to document and maximize your claim.

How long does fire damage restoration take?

Timeline depends on the severity of the damage. Smoke and soot cleanup for a contained fire might take a few days to a week, while larger losses involving structural repairs and reconstruction can take several weeks to several months. Projects with significant structural damage often require additional time for permitting and engineering. With many years of experience navigating the process, our team will provide an honest, individualized timeline during your free consultation and keep you informed every step of the way.

What is the fire damage restoration process?

The process typically follows these stages: emergency assessment and stabilization, water removal and drying, smoke and soot cleaning, odor elimination, content restoration, structural repairs, and final inspection. The full breakdown is outlined in the “Fire Restoration Process” section above.

What does fire damage restoration involve?

It involves much more than cleaning up ash. Fire damage restoration services include securing the structure, removing damaged materials, cleaning smoke residue from every affected surface, eliminating odors, restoring or replacing personal belongings, and rebuilding damaged areas of the home.

What should I do if my house smells like smoke after a fire?

Smoke odor after a fire is a sign that particles have embedded deep into porous materials like drywall, insulation, wood framing, upholstery, and carpet. Air fresheners and surface cleaning simply won’t reach the source, which is why professional deep deodorization is essential for truly eliminating the problem. Country Restoration provides full smoke odor elimination as part of our fire damage restoration services. Call us today to schedule your free assessment.
