Fire damage feels like the end of the world, but it’s not the end of your story. You’re looking at weeks of disruption, sure—but you’re also looking at a team that’s handled hundreds of situations just like yours.
Most homeowners think fire damage restoration takes months. The reality? With the right approach, you can be back in your space in weeks, not months. We stabilize what needs stabilizing, remove what needs removing, and rebuild what needs rebuilding. No shortcuts, no surprises.
Your biggest concern right now isn’t the timeline—it’s whether your home will ever feel like home again. It will. We make sure of that.
We’ve been serving Southern Wisconsin homeowners for years, and we’ve seen every type of fire damage this area throws at properties. From kitchen fires in Greendale’s historic homes to electrical fires in newer constructions, we know what works and what doesn’t.
We’re IICRC certified, A+ BBB rated, and backed by 50 years of combined experience. But here’s what really matters: we answer our phones at 2 AM, we show up when we say we will, and we treat your property like it’s our own family’s home.
Greendale residents choose us because we’re not the biggest company—we’re the one that cares the most about getting it right the first time.
First, we secure your property. That means emergency board-up if needed, tarping damaged roofs, and making sure no further damage occurs while we work. This happens within hours of your call, not days.
Next comes assessment and stabilization. We identify structural damage, test for safety hazards, and create a detailed plan for restoration. You’ll know exactly what needs to be done and why, with no industry jargon or confusing explanations.
Then we handle the cleanup: smoke removal, soot cleaning, odor elimination, and water damage from firefighting efforts. We use specialized equipment and techniques that most general contractors don’t have access to. Finally, we rebuild and restore everything to pre-fire condition—or better.
Throughout the entire process, we coordinate with your insurance company, document everything properly, and keep you informed every step of the way.

We’ve worked with virtually every major insurance carrier and understand exactly what documentation they require for prompt claim approval.
Smoke odor elimination requires more than just masking smells with air fresheners. We use professional-grade ozone treatment, thermal fogging, and specialized cleaning agents that neutralize odor-causing particles at the molecular level.
The process starts with identifying all affected areas, including inside HVAC systems, wall cavities, and porous materials where smoke has penetrated. We then use a combination of cleaning, sealing, and deodorizing techniques specific to the type of materials in your home. Complete odor elimination typically takes several days but results in a home that truly smells fresh, not just temporarily masked.
Many items that appear completely ruined can actually be restored with proper techniques and equipment. We evaluate each item individually and use specialized cleaning methods for different types of materials—from electronics and documents to furniture and clothing.
Our content restoration process includes professional cleaning, deodorization, and sometimes off-site restoration for valuable items. We photograph and inventory everything for insurance purposes and work with you to prioritize which items are most important to restore. While we can’t save everything, you’d be surprised how much can be brought back to pre-fire condition with the right approach.
Fire damage restoration requires specialized knowledge of how fire, heat, and smoke affect building materials, plus understanding of safety protocols for working in fire-damaged structures. Regular contractors typically don’t have the equipment or training to properly address smoke penetration, structural damage assessment, or hazardous material handling.
We’re certified in fire damage restoration techniques, use specialized equipment like thermal imaging cameras and moisture meters, and follow IICRC standards for proper restoration. This ensures that hidden damage is identified and addressed, preventing future problems like lingering odors or structural issues that might not be apparent to untrained professionals.
Timeline depends on the extent of damage, but most residential fire damage restoration projects in Greendale take 2-6 weeks from start to finish. Emergency stabilization happens within hours, cleanup and mitigation typically take 3-7 days, and reconstruction varies based on the scope of repairs needed.
We provide detailed timelines upfront and update you regularly on progress. Factors that affect timeline include permit approval times, insurance processing, material availability, and weather conditions for exterior work. Our goal is always to get you back in your home as quickly as possible while ensuring all work is completed properly and safely.
