You walk back into a home that feels like home again. The smoke smell is gone. The soot damage is erased. Your belongings are cleaned and restored where possible.
That overwhelming feeling of “where do I even start?” gets replaced with relief. You’re not dealing with lingering odors that remind you of the worst day. You’re not worried about health hazards from incomplete cleanup.
Your insurance claim is handled properly. The restoration work meets professional standards that protect your family’s long-term health and your property’s value.
We’ve been serving the Milwaukee area for years, including Story Hill’s unique community of historic homes and young families. We understand what matters to homeowners in this neighborhood.
We’re not a faceless corporation. We’re your neighbors, and we know that every home in Story Hill tells a story. When fire threatens that story, we’re here to help you write the next chapter.
Our five-step restoration process isn’t just about cleaning up damage. It’s about restoring your peace of mind and getting your family back to normal life as quickly as possible.
First, we secure your property and assess all damage – not just what’s obvious. Fire damage often hides in places you can’t see, and we find it all before it becomes a bigger problem.
Next, we extract any water used to fight the fire and begin removing smoke odor and soot. This isn’t surface-level cleaning. We use professional-grade equipment to eliminate contamination from every surface and air system.
Then we restore and repair. We work with your insurance company to document everything properly and ensure you get the coverage you deserve. Our goal is returning your home to pre-fire condition, not just making it “livable.”

Fire damage restoration in Story Hill means dealing with more than just burned materials. Smoke travels through your entire home, and water damage from firefighting efforts can cause secondary problems if not addressed properly.
We handle smoke odor removal, soot cleanup, water extraction, structural drying, content cleaning, and full reconstruction when needed. Story Hill’s historic homes often require special attention to preserve architectural details while ensuring modern safety standards.
Your restoration includes air quality testing, HVAC system cleaning, and odor elimination using thermal fogging and ozone treatment. We don’t consider the job complete until your home passes our quality standards and yours.
We provide 24/7 emergency response to Story Hill, typically arriving within 60-90 minutes of your call. Time is critical after a fire because smoke and soot damage continue spreading, and water from firefighting efforts can cause additional problems within hours.
Our rapid response includes immediate property securing, damage assessment, and beginning the restoration process. The sooner we start, the more we can save and the faster we can get your family back home.
We understand that fires don’t happen on a convenient schedule, which is why our emergency team is always ready to respond, day or night, weekends and holidays.
Most homeowner’s insurance policies do cover fire damage restoration, but coverage varies significantly between policies. We work directly with insurance companies throughout the Milwaukee area and understand how to properly document damage for maximum coverage.
We’ll help you navigate the claims process, provide detailed documentation of all damage, and ensure repairs meet industry standards. Our team knows what insurance adjusters look for and how to present your claim effectively.
Many homeowners are surprised to learn their policy covers not just structural repairs, but also content cleaning, temporary housing, and additional living expenses during restoration. We make sure you receive all the coverage you’re entitled to.
Yes, complete smoke odor elimination is possible with professional restoration techniques. Smoke molecules penetrate deep into porous materials like drywall, carpeting, and furniture, which is why surface cleaning doesn’t work.
We use thermal fogging, ozone treatment, and specialized cleaning agents that neutralize smoke odors at the molecular level. For severe cases, we may need to remove and replace some materials, but our goal is always to restore rather than replace when possible.
The process typically takes several days to complete properly. We test air quality throughout the process and don’t consider the job finished until your home passes our odor-elimination standards. Most families are amazed at how fresh their home smells after professional restoration.
Fire damage restoration requires specialized equipment, training, and techniques that go far beyond regular cleaning. Soot is acidic and continues causing damage if not removed properly. Smoke residue requires specific cleaning agents designed for different types of soot.
Water damage from firefighting efforts must be addressed immediately to prevent mold growth. HVAC systems need professional cleaning to prevent smoke odors from circulating throughout your home. Structural elements may need repair or replacement for safety.
Professional restoration also includes proper disposal of contaminated materials, air quality testing, and documentation for insurance claims. Attempting DIY cleanup often makes the damage worse and can create health hazards for your family.
Restoration timeframes depend on the extent of damage, but most Story Hill fire restoration projects take 1-3 weeks from start to finish. Minor smoke damage might be completed in a few days, while major structural fires can take several weeks or months.
We provide realistic timelines after our initial assessment and keep you updated throughout the process. Factors affecting timeline include insurance approval processes, extent of structural damage, and availability of materials for historic home restoration.
Our goal is always to get families back home as quickly as possible while ensuring the work is done right. We coordinate all aspects of restoration to minimize delays and keep your project moving forward efficiently.
