When fire strikes your Brewer’s Hill property, you’re not just dealing with visible damage. Smoke penetrates everything, soot settles in places you can’t see, and water from firefighting efforts creates additional problems that can lead to mold if not handled properly.
You get your home back to exactly how it was—or better. We eliminate every trace of smoke odor, remove all soot residue, and restore structural integrity. Your family can return to a safe, clean environment without lingering concerns about air quality or hidden damage.
The process works because we handle everything from emergency board-up to final reconstruction. You deal with one company, one point of contact, and one comprehensive solution that gets you back to normal life as quickly as possible.
We’ve been serving the Milwaukee area with comprehensive fire damage repair services, understanding the unique challenges that Brewer’s Hill residents face. From the historic homes with their distinctive architectural details to the newer condominiums along the Milwaukee River, we know how to restore different property types properly.
Our IICRC-certified technicians bring both technical expertise and local knowledge to every job. We understand that in a tight-knit neighborhood like Brewer’s Hill, your reputation matters—and so does ours.

We’re not the cheapest option, and that’s intentional. You’re investing in proper restoration that prevents future problems, protects your property value, and gives you peace of mind that the job was done right the first time.
First, we conduct a comprehensive damage assessment within hours of your call. Our technicians evaluate structural integrity, identify all affected areas including hidden damage, and develop a detailed restoration plan tailored to your specific situation.
Next comes emergency stabilization and debris removal. We board up openings, remove damaged materials, and begin water extraction if firefighting efforts created additional moisture issues. This prevents further damage and creates a safe working environment.
The cleaning and restoration phase involves specialized techniques to remove soot from all surfaces, eliminate smoke odors using professional-grade equipment, and begin structural repairs. We clean and restore salvageable belongings while documenting everything for your insurance claim.
Finally, we complete full reconstruction and conduct a thorough final inspection with you. Every detail is addressed, from matching paint colors to ensuring proper ventilation, so your home feels like yours again—not like a restoration project.

Your fire damage repair service includes complete smoke and soot removal from all surfaces, advanced odor elimination using specialized equipment, structural damage repair, and content cleaning and restoration. We handle water damage from firefighting efforts, including extraction, drying, and mold prevention.
In Brewer’s Hill specifically, we understand the challenges of working with older home construction common in the neighborhood. Many properties feature original hardwood floors, plaster walls, and unique architectural elements that require specialized restoration techniques. We know how to preserve these character features while ensuring modern safety standards.
Our service also includes direct insurance communication and advocacy. We prepare detailed documentation, work directly with adjusters, and often bill insurance companies directly to streamline your experience. You get the restoration you need without the paperwork headaches or upfront costs that can strain your budget during an already difficult time.
We provide 24/7 emergency response throughout the Milwaukee area, typically arriving within 90 minutes of your call. Time is critical after fire damage because smoke and soot continue causing damage even after flames are extinguished, and water from firefighting efforts can lead to mold growth within 24-48 hours.
Our rapid response includes immediate damage assessment, emergency board-up services to secure your property, and beginning the stabilization process right away. We understand that every hour counts when it comes to minimizing total damage and restoration costs.
For Brewer’s Hill residents, our local presence means faster response times and better understanding of neighborhood-specific factors like historic home construction, parking limitations for equipment, and coordination with local authorities when needed.
Most homeowner’s insurance policies provide comprehensive coverage for fire damage repair, including smoke damage, soot removal, water damage from firefighting, and temporary living expenses during restoration. However, coverage details vary significantly between policies and insurance companies.
We work directly with insurance adjusters to ensure proper documentation of all damage and necessary repairs. Our detailed assessment reports and photo documentation help support your claim and often result in faster approval and payment. We can also bill many insurance companies directly, eliminating upfront costs for you.
It’s important to contact your insurance company immediately after a fire, but don’t wait for their approval to begin emergency stabilization. Most policies require you to prevent further damage, and delaying critical steps like water extraction or board-up services can actually jeopardize your coverage.
Complete smoke odor elimination requires a multi-step process using professional-grade equipment and techniques that go far beyond typical cleaning methods. Smoke particles are microscopic and penetrate deep into porous materials like wood, drywall, fabrics, and even concrete.
We use specialized equipment including thermal fogging, ozone generators, and hydroxyl generators to neutralize odor molecules at the molecular level. This is combined with thorough cleaning of all surfaces using specific cleaning agents designed for smoke residue, and in some cases, sealing surfaces with odor-blocking primers before refinishing.
The process also includes HVAC system cleaning and duct sanitization, since smoke travels through ventilation systems and can continue circulating odors throughout your home. We don’t consider the job complete until air quality testing confirms that odor-causing particles have been eliminated, not just masked.
Fire damage refers to destruction caused by actual flames and heat, including burned materials, melted items, and structural damage from high temperatures. This type of damage is usually obvious and requires reconstruction or replacement of affected areas.
Smoke damage, however, can be more extensive and harder to detect. Smoke travels throughout your entire property, depositing acidic soot on surfaces far from the fire source. This residue continues causing damage over time, etching glass, corroding metals, and permanently staining surfaces if not properly cleaned within the first few days.
Both types of damage require professional restoration, but they involve different techniques and equipment. Fire damage focuses on structural repair and replacement, while smoke damage requires specialized cleaning processes, odor elimination, and often more extensive content restoration since smoke affects items throughout the entire property, not just the fire area.
Fire damage restoration timelines vary significantly based on the extent of damage, size of the affected area, and complexity of repairs needed. Minor smoke damage might be resolved in 3-5 days, while major fires requiring structural rebuilding can take several weeks to months.
The restoration process has distinct phases: emergency stabilization (immediate), cleaning and content restoration (3-7 days), structural repairs (1-3 weeks), and final reconstruction (varies). We provide detailed timelines during our initial assessment and update you regularly as work progresses.
Several factors affect timeline including insurance approval processes, permit requirements for structural work, availability of specialized materials (especially for historic Brewer’s Hill homes), and weather conditions if exterior work is needed. We coordinate all aspects to minimize delays and keep you informed of any timeline changes.
Many belongings can be successfully restored after fire damage, even items that initially appear beyond saving. Our content restoration process includes specialized cleaning techniques for different materials, from electronics and documents to clothing and furniture.
We immediately inventory and pack out salvageable items, transporting them to our climate-controlled facility for professional cleaning and restoration. This includes ultrasonic cleaning for delicate items, dry cleaning for textiles, and specialized processes for electronics, artwork, and documents.
However, some items may be total losses due to direct fire contact, extreme heat exposure, or contamination from toxic smoke. We provide detailed documentation of both restored and non-restorable items for your insurance claim, ensuring you receive proper compensation for items that cannot be saved while maximizing recovery of items that can be restored.
