You walk into a home that doesn’t remind you of what happened. No smoke smell when you open closets. No soot stains bleeding through fresh paint. No wondering if the air is really clean.
That’s what sets complete fire damage repair apart from quick cleanup jobs. We don’t just scrub surfaces and hope for the best. Every smoke particle gets eliminated. Every damaged material gets properly restored or replaced. Every system gets thoroughly cleaned.
Your insurance claim gets approved without fights or delays. Your family moves back into a space that feels safe and clean. Six months later, you’re not dealing with mysterious odors or health issues because someone cut corners during restoration.
We’ve been Milwaukee’s trusted fire damage repair company for years. We’re not a national franchise with cookie-cutter approaches—we’re your neighbors who understand how Milwaukee homes are built and what they need after fire damage.
We know the challenges of older Milwaukee construction. How smoke travels through balloon framing. Why winter firefighting creates unique water damage problems. Which local insurance adjusters require specific documentation.
Our family-owned company serves the entire Milwaukee metro area because we believe in being close enough to respond immediately. When your home catches fire at midnight, we’re already heading your way—not making phone calls to distant headquarters.
Emergency response starts with securing your property. We board damaged openings, tarp compromised roofing, and make sure no additional damage occurs while we work. This happens within hours of your call.
Assessment and documentation come next. We photograph everything, test air quality, and create detailed damage reports for insurance. Then immediate cleanup begins—debris removal, water extraction from firefighting, and emergency soot cleaning to prevent permanent staining.
Deep restoration follows. Smoke odor elimination using thermal fogging and ozone treatment. Complete HVAC system cleaning. Professional content cleaning for salvageable belongings. Structural repairs and reconstruction using quality materials.
Final walkthrough ensures everything meets our standards and yours. We don’t consider the job finished until you’re completely satisfied with every aspect of the restoration.

Milwaukee fire damage comes with unique complications. Our older homes often have balloon framing that allows smoke to travel between floors in unexpected ways. Winter firefighting creates ice dams and frozen pipe problems. High summer humidity can trigger mold growth if water extraction isn’t thorough.
We handle every aspect of fire damage restoration. Emergency water extraction when firefighting floods your basement. Smoke and soot removal from every surface, including inside your HVAC system. Content cleaning and pack-out services for belongings. Complete reconstruction from drywall to final paint.
Milwaukee’s building codes and permit requirements are specific. Insurance companies here have particular documentation standards. We navigate all these local requirements so your project moves smoothly from emergency response to final inspection.
Working with your insurance company is part of our service. We use their approved software, speak their language, and help ensure your claim covers everything needed for complete restoration.
We provide 24/7 emergency fire damage response throughout Milwaukee and typically arrive within 2-3 hours of your call. Speed matters because smoke and soot become harder to clean the longer they sit on surfaces.
Our local Milwaukee presence means we’re not driving from distant locations or waiting for corporate authorization. We keep restoration equipment ready and maintain on-call teams specifically for emergency response.
The first 24 hours determine how extensive your restoration will be. Quick response prevents smoke from penetrating deeper into materials and stops water damage from firefighting efforts from causing mold problems later.
Absolutely. Fire damage in Milwaukee almost always includes significant water damage from firefighting efforts, and we specialize in handling both simultaneously. This dual damage requires specific expertise that many companies don’t have.
Firefighting water can cause as much damage as the fire itself, especially in Milwaukee’s older homes where it can soak into hardwood floors, plaster walls, and basement areas. We use industrial-grade water extraction equipment and dehumidifiers to remove all moisture completely.
Our team is certified in both fire restoration and water damage remediation. You get one company handling everything from initial water extraction through final reconstruction, which means better coordination and faster completion.
Most homeowner’s insurance policies cover fire damage restoration, including water damage from firefighting. We work directly with all major insurance companies serving Milwaukee to ensure your claim gets approved quickly and completely.
We document everything using insurance-approved software and create detailed estimates that meet their requirements. This prevents delays and disputes that can slow down your restoration project.
Our experience with Milwaukee insurance adjusters and local claims processes means we know exactly what documentation they need. We handle the insurance communication so you can focus on getting your life back to normal.
Permanent smoke odor elimination requires removing smoke particles at the molecular level, not just masking smells with deodorizers. We use thermal fogging, ozone treatment, and hydroxyl generators to break down odor-causing compounds embedded in materials.
Your HVAC system gets completely cleaned because smoke particles circulate through ductwork and settle in areas you can’t see. We clean all ductwork, replace filters, and sanitize air handlers to prevent recontamination.
Some materials like insulation or heavily damaged drywall may need replacement rather than cleaning. We assess each situation and recommend the most effective approach for guaranteed odor elimination, not the cheapest quick fix.
Fire damage restoration typically takes 1-4 weeks depending on the extent of damage and required reconstruction. Minor smoke damage might be completed in days, while major structural damage can take longer.
Milwaukee’s climate affects our timeline. High humidity in summer slows drying times. Winter conditions can complicate reconstruction schedules. We factor these local conditions into our project estimates.
We provide realistic timelines upfront and keep you updated throughout the process. Our goal is thorough restoration done efficiently—we won’t rush through critical steps that could cause problems later.
We’re a local, family-owned company that combines certified restoration expertise with actual construction experience. Many restoration companies clean up fire damage but subcontract the rebuilding to others, creating coordination problems and delays.
Our team includes both IICRC-certified restoration technicians and experienced builders. This means seamless coordination from emergency response through final reconstruction. You deal with one company that’s accountable for the entire project.
We understand Milwaukee specifically—older home construction, local building codes, climate challenges, and insurance company requirements. This local knowledge translates into more effective restoration and fewer surprises during your project.
